Subject : Request for Removal of Paid Charge-Off Accounts from Credit Report Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) assist me in ensuring that the following charge-off accounts, which have been settled and paid in full, are removed from my credit report, in accordance with applicable federal laws and guidelines : XXXX. XXXX, Account # XXXX ***** XXXX. XXXX, Account # XXXX ****** XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account ***** These accounts, while previously charged off, have been fully resolved as they are marked paid and closed on my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related consumer protection laws, charge-offs that are fully paid and settled should no longer be reported in a manner that negatively impacts a consumer 's credit profile. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and the CFPB have both issued guidance regarding the reporting of paid charge-offs, emphasizing the accuracy and completeness of credit reports. 

As these accounts are no longer in default status and have been settled, they should not continue to appear as negative items on my credit report. Continuing to report these charge-offs undermines the purpose of the FCRA, which aims to ensure that credit reports are fair, accurate, and complete. I respectfully request that these charge-offs be removed from my credit report entirely as they no longer reflect my current credit standing.

I believe the continued reporting of these charge-offs may be in violation of the FCRA, which states that credit reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information reported. Moreover, under Section 609 of the FCRA, I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is incorrect or misleading. Since these charge-offs have been paid and closed, they no longer provide an accurate depiction of my creditworthiness. 

Furthermore, I kindly ask that the CFPB ensure that the credit reporting agencies update my credit file to reflect the accurate status of these accounts. This action is critical to ensure my credit report fully complies with all consumer protection regulations. 

Please confirm in writing that these charge-off accounts will be removed or updated to reflect their true status of " paid in full '' without any derogatory notations. If further documentation is needed to substantiate this request, I am more than happy to provide it upon request. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this issue.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OH)

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

To Whom It May Concern : I am filing a complaint against TransUnion, LLC due to their failure to remove unauthorized credit inquiries from my credit report, despite multiple requests and documented evidence that these inquiries lack my authorization. These unauthorized inquiries have impacted my creditworthiness, and TransUnions lack of compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) has infringed upon my rights as a consumer. The details are as follows : Unauthorized Inquiries : My credit report lists the following unauthorized inquiries : XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I did not authorize these inquiries, and each entity listed above has confirmed they have no record of my authorization or any permissible purpose for accessing my credit information. 

Violation of FCRA Regulations : TransUnions failure to remove these inquiries constitutes a violation of the following sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act : Section 1681b ( c ) : Credit reporting agencies may only provide reports for specific, lawful purposes. None of the inquiries listed meet these requirements.

Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : TransUnion is required to verify each inquiry by providing the original signed consumer contract. To date, they have not provided this verification.

Section 1681i ( 5 ) : This section mandates the prompt deletion of inaccurate or unverifiable information. TransUnions refusal to act on unverifiable inquiries directly violates this requirement. 
Dispute and Response : I originally filed a dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, through both TransUnion and the CFPB under report number XXXX. In response on XX/XX/XXXX, TransUnion stated that inquiries remain on the report for XXXX years, suggesting that I contact the companies involved if I believe there was no permissible purpose. This response does not address the core issue, as TransUnion has not provided any proof of authorization or a permissible purpose for these inquiries. 

I am requesting the CFPBs intervention to ensure that TransUnion removes these inquiries from my credit report as mandated by federal law, and that they are held accountable for their lack of compliance with FCRA regulations.
