RE : Late Payment Improperly Reported- I XXXX XXXX have a RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) as a federally protected consumer and I know my rights presented under the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly outlined within 15 USC 1681. 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 and 15 USC 1681o, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX on my credit report that need be immediately updated to paid as agreed. My Consumer rights have been violated by TransUnion, XXXX. TransUnion, XXXX has violated my consumer rights and violated federal law. This is multiple times now in an attempt to notify you of this erroneous error on the part of your agency. This erroneous late payment is affecting my ability to obtain a loan to save my business from crumbling and also blocking me from the housing that I so desperately need for myself and my family. Please change this to paid as agreed immediately so that I may proceed with my life, or I may be forced to seek legal damages against your agency as I already have sought legal counsel in this more than important matter. Thank you.

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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

" 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.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Rebuttal of Bankruptcy Reporting Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you well.

To the best of my knowledge, I have not filed for bankruptcy, nor have I been involved in any bankruptcy proceedings. This information is incorrect and misleading, and I request an immediate correction of my credit report. 

2. Identity Theft : Considering the absence of any bankruptcy filing by me, it is possible that my identity has been compromised.

I request a thorough investigation into the matter to ascertain the source of this incorrect information.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

My account with EQUIFAX XXXX 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 to be 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. 


EQUIFAX XXXX 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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

I always pay off my credit cards on time. I have never been late for over 10 years. I pay via bill pay. In XX/XX/year> I paid all my credit cards through bill pay. Unfortunately, the bill from my CapitalOne Spark card never arrived via U.S. Mail. The day after my bill for XXXX was due, I received an email from CapitalOne saying my payment was late. I called them that same day and made the payment via electronic check. So they received my money 1 day late. 

CapitalOne charged me {$67.00} in interest for the 1 day! They also changed me a {$58.00} late fee. I called to complain and they said they would credit the late fee but would not take off the interest change. 

This is tantamount to usury and should be illegal. Can you please help me the {$67.00} in interest that I was charged. 

Thank you, XXXX
