My accounts 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/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!

Date : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Subject : Follow-Up Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Information Response to Equifax 's Letter Dear Equifax, I am writing in response to your findings received on XX/XX/XXXX, regarding my initial dispute earlier this month ( attached ). I have also attached your response for your reference. Frankly, I am surprised and disappointed that despite my efforts to dispute these inaccuracies, Equifax continues to allow these incorrect items to be reported on my credit file. 

The accounts listed below remain in violation of the Metro 2 reporting guidelines, and I am formally requesting that they be deleted from my report immediately due to their non-compliance : XXXX  XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Issue : The " Date of First Delinquency '' reported as XX/XX/XXXX is inaccurate. As per Metro 2 guidelines, this date should reflect the true first missed payment. Please delete this inaccurate information. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Issue : The reported balance of {$9700.00} exceeds the credit limit of {$8700.00}, which is a clear violation of Metro 2 standards. Please delete this inaccurate information. 

XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Issue : The charge-off balance is incorrectly reported as {$0.00}, while the account shows a past due balance. This inconsistency should not be present under the correct reporting standards. Please delete this inaccurate information. 

I can not believe that after filing these disputes, these inaccuracies persist on my credit report, causing undue harm to my credit profile. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to have only accurate information reported. I expect that these items will be deleted promptly. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving confirmation of these deletions. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

" 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. ''

I have an account reporting on my credit files that 1. ) isnt my name only my social security number. 2. ) the address used to open the account has never been my address. 3. ) the phone number used to open the account is not mine 4. ) the pre-approval used to open this account was sent to the fraud address not my home address. 5. ) the card was mailed to the fraud address not my home address 6. ) the payments made on account were not from my bank account.

I have provided them with the police report, FTC report, Driver 's license showing my address and my name. Social Security card showing my name not the one on the account. I have provided a 3 year residence history showing I have never lived at that address. I have provided proof of my phone number that is not on the account. I have provided the Police report of fraud, an affidavit, FTC report as well.

These idiots sent me statements showing the fraud address, the incorrect name. Nothing matches me. Then they say this is your account and we hold you responsible. There is NO proof this is my account. It wont hold up in a court of law. I will be forced to sue for damages to my FICO score, and my reputation.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

I placed a fraud dispute on XX/XX/year> for XXXX unauthorized transactions from XXXX  on my account. The transaction amounts and dates are listed below. 

XX/XX/year> XXXX {$29000.00} XX/XX/year> XXXX {$29000.00} This dispute was resolved in my favor on XX/XX/year>. 

I was credited back for part of the first transaction on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$27000.00}. However the remaining balance in the amount of {$29000.00} was not credited back to me. I was told i was going to receive a check in this amount because the account was closed and capital one placed a " XXXX XXXX '' on the account in the amount of {$29000.00} to put the card balance at {$0.00}. Instead of putting the credit on the card they put the balance at {$0.00} and explicitly informed me over the phone that " a check was being mailed out to me and this is why we took the credit off your account because it is a closed account and the positive balance couldn't be used on the card. '' This amount was owed to me and after about XXXX  months of waiting I have not received my check. I have called into capital one XXXX separate times receiving the same response of either " Your check is being mailed to you and will arrive by the end of this week '' or " The check hasn't been mailed, I will submit a message to the account supervisor to check in on the status of this. '' I have submitted a dispute with my bank XXXX XXXX for this transaction XXXX  days ago as it is very apparent that I will not be receiving the check from Capital One. I also called into XXXX which was the company in which the fraudulent transactions were made and they informed me that they do not have the funds either for this transaction. So at this point, Capital One is holding the funds and neither parties " myself or cardcash '' have the funds totalling in the amount of {$29000.00}. 

I am going to need this check mailed out to me asap. Along with confirmation & proof of the check being mailed in order to close out this dispute with my bank.
