RE : 15 U.S. Code 1666b - Timing of payments To Whom it may concern..

It is of utmost importance for the creditor to comply with each parameter established by the Fair Credit Act ( FCRA ) as mandated by law. As a consumer, I am exercising my rights to have truly accurate and verified credit.

In according to law 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( a ) ( b ) ( 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. 

( b ) Grace period If an open end consumer credit plan provides a time period within which an obligor may repay any portion of the credit extended without incurring an additional finance charge, such additional finance charge may not be imposed with respect to such portion of the credit extended for the billing cycle of which such period is a part, unless a statement which includes the amount upon which the finance chargefor the period is based was mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the date specified in the statement by which payment must be made in order to avoid imposition of that finance charge. 

That said, I hold these creditors accountable under the Fair Credit Act. 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ( a ) XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Payment late : XX/XX/year> XX/XX/year> Please provide me with written proofs of the letters they sent me 21 days before the date on which the late payments were reported on each of the accounts mentioned above. It is your obligation to send me these copies because this is what the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ( a ) stipulates.

It is the obligation of creditors to provide me with written evidence.If the creditors can not provide me with proof of the written letters sent 21 days prior to the date on which the late payments were reported within a 30-day period, Include also, all the information required by Section 1637 ( 6 ) of Title 15. it is evident that they have violated the parameters established by the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) and I demand that the late payments be updated to positive or ND ( No data for this period ), otherwise I demand the immediate deletion of said accounts.

My account with Experian 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 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!

Experian 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.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''
