Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX 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 in 60 days to be removed.

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.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

I am writing to formally express my deep concern regarding the unresolved inaccuracies on my credit report, which I have previously disputed on multiple occasions. Despite my consistent efforts to request a thorough investigation, the inaccuracies remain uncorrected, and I have yet to receive any resolution or corrective action. 

These erroneous accounts are significantly damaging my credit file and have created substantial obstacles in my daily life. The negative impact on my financial well-being has caused undue hardship, and I am left with no choice but to urgently request your assistance in rectifying this situation. 

I kindly request that a thorough investigation be conducted into each of the disputed accounts, and that the necessary steps be taken to update and correct my credit report without further delay. Restoring the accuracy of my credit file is imperative, and I hope your team will give this matter the attention it deserves. 

Your prompt cooperation in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. I trust that, with your help, I can restore the integrity of my credit report and regain control over my financial stability. 

Thank you for your understanding and swift action in addressing this matter.

I obtain a XXXX XXXX from Continental Finance XXXX, making my monthly payments on time, even got an increase of credit. Well in late 2013 i received notice the current credit card was being transferred to a XXXX card and they will send notice when the new card has been sent out. I continued to make my monthly payment on time, during the months of XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX i called XXXX in concern because i had not received the new card, i was told due to the Holidays the delivery of the card maybe delayed XXXX XXXX XXXX. When i spoke to the individual in XXXX, i could not make any payments as the account showed the balance as zero, i called in again to make the payment and they wanted to charge me a phone fee, so i we went back in front on how i do n't see as a customer who has n't received the new card to set-up the online account to make a payment should pay a phone fee. The individual got rude so i hung up. No communication from this company but today i receive a voice mail from a male stating he was on his way to my home and if i was n't in he would be traveling to my place of employment to serve me papers. He left a number and a case # but no information as to what this was in regards to. I called the number left XXXX XXXX XXXX, the gentlemen who i spoke with stated they were suing me for {$1900.00} on a so called {$580.00} balance ( which the balance should have been around {$350.00} from the last time i made a payment ) stated, XXXX had written off and sold the account to them. I have never received any communication from XXXX or this collections company so how can they immediately sue for something that XXXX was negligent in not providing the new card or account information for me to continue to make payments? Please review and help on this matter.

I am filing a complaint regarding two unauthorized hard inquiries that appeared on my Equifax credit report without my consent or knowledge. The details of the inquiries are as follows : Inquiry Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/year> Inquiry Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/year> I did not authorize these inquiries and was unaware of them until I reviewed my credit report recently. I have not applied for credit or interacted with these companies during the periods in question. These unauthorized inquiries have negatively impacted my credit score. 

In response to discovering these inquiries, I took immediate action. I filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and have contacted Equifax directly to dispute these inquiries and request their removal. I am seeking assistance in investigating how these inquiries were initiated without my permission and having them removed from my credit report. 

These inquiries have caused undue harm to my credit, and I would like this matter to be resolved promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this issue.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
