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

My account with Experian was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 lat
e 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.

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.

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


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

RE Account Numbers- XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting my nonpublic and personal information without my written consent. Please show me the proof you sent me giving me options on how I could opt out of sharing my nonpublic information and proof showing you gave me the option to not disclose my transaction history each month with a third party. 

The law states a consumer must give written consent to opt out of sharing their nonpublic information to the financial institution. I did this and you stated I did not have that right to opt out. It is a violation to report my transactions or experiences between you and I with a third party or consumer reporting agency without my written consent. It is the policy stated by Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers to insure the security and confidentiality of their customer records and information. This includes protecting against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. 

I the consumer should have been given the opportunity, before such information was to be reported which gives me the option to direct you that such information should not be reported. I also should have been explained how I could exercise that nondisclosure option, which I was never advised. I have written multiple times, and you have continued to ignore my written request. 

Your failure to comply with the law and my written request has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Again, I am requesting to opt out of sharing my nonpublic information and for you to remove all my transaction history from all nonaffiliated third parties such as XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX XXXX immediately. Otherwise, I will pursue legal actions for every month my nonpublic information has been reported which could be a fine of {$1000.00} per violation. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WI XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, Iowa XXXX Subject : Complaint Against the Three Major Credit Bureaus for Violating Privacy Rights and Defaming Credibility Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against the three major credit bureausEquifax, XXXX, and XXXX violations of my privacy rights and actions that have defamed my credibility. 
Over the past several months, I have noticed significant inaccuracies in my credit reports issued by these bureaus. Despite multiple attempts to rectify these discrepancies, I have been met with inadequate responses and a lack of effective action. This negligence has not only compromised my financial standing but has also caused undue stress and inconvenience.

The specific violations of my privacy and defamation of my credibility include : 1. Unauthorized Sharing of Personal Information : There have been instances where my personal information was shared without my explicit consent, leading to unauthorized inquiries and potential identity theft.

2. Inaccurate Reporting : The bureaus have reported incorrect information regarding my credit history, including but not limited to incorrect account statuses and payment histories.

3. Failure to Correct Errors : Despite providing documented evidence of the inaccuracies, the credit bureaus have failed to correct my credit reports promptly.

These actions are in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and have caused significant harm to my personal and financial well-being. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to take immediate action against these credit bureaus to enforce compliance with federal laws and protect consumers like myself from further harm.

I am seeking immediate rectification of the inaccuracies in my credit reports, as well as compensation for the damages caused by these violations. Attached are copies of my correspondence with the credit bureaus, along with supporting documentation. 
I appreciate your attention to this serious matter and look forward to a prompt resolution. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
