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

I am formally disputing the recent update to my credit report on XX/XX/year>, regarding the XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX account and requesting a re-investigation of all reported details. First, I dispute the balance of {$460.00}, which exceeds the original credit limit of {$300.00}, showing a utilization rate of 156 % despite the account being listed as charged off. This is both inaccurate and misleading. Under FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are required to ensure maximum possible accuracy, and this discrepancy should be corrected or removed. Additionally, I challenge XXXX XXXX 's status as the creditor. I do not acknowledge this debt and request proof of XXXX XXXX  legal right to report this debt, specifically a valid contractual agreement containing my full signature that establishes my obligation to repay the debt. Without such documentation, this reporting violates FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), which mandates that only accurate and verifiable information can be furnished by a creditor. I also dispute the current payment status, marked as Charge-off with a past due amount of {$460.00}, since this account was closed. No additional payments should be marked as past due, making this reporting inaccurate under FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i. Furthermore, the worst payment status is marked as Charge-off, but the payment history reflects inconsistencies that violate FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681c. These errors should be corrected or removed. Lastly, I dispute the remarks, stating " Charged off account ; Account closed by credit grantor, '' as they are misleading and should be removed as per FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2. I request a full re-investigation of all account details, including the balance, creditor status, payment status, and remarks. Please provide written confirmation of the results of your investigation, along with a valid contractual agreement containing my full signature if this debt is valid.

I am formally disputing the recent update to my credit report on XX/XX/year>, regarding the XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX account and requesting a re-investigation of all reported details. First, I dispute the balance of {$6100.00}, which exceeds the original credit limit of {$5000.00}.

Moreover, the worst payment status is listed as charge-off, but the payment history shows significant inconsistency, violating FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681c, and should be corrected or removed. Lastly, I dispute the remarks, stating " Charged off account ; Account closed by credit grantor, '' as these are misleading and should be removed in compliance with FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2. I request a full re-investigation of all account details, including the balance, creditor status, payment status, and remarks.

Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request. 

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Please review the attached letter. Thank you for your assistance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MO)

I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting on my credit report by XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax concerning an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have noticed that all three credit bureaus have reported that my debt with XXXX has been charged off due to negligence ; however, this information is incorrect. 

In XXXX of 2021, my vehicle, along with my credit cards, was stolen. Since then, I have been actively negotiating with both XXXX XXXX and my insurance company to resolve the outstanding issues related to the stolen credit card. Despite providing evidence of the theft and ongoing negotiations, XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to correct the erroneous charge-off report. This has resulted in significant damage to my credit score and has created unnecessary obstacles for me during this challenging time.

The inaccurate reporting by the credit bureaus has further complicated my situation and caused undue financial stress. It is clear that the charge-off should not have been reported as the matter is still in dispute, and I am actively working with the involved parties to resolve it. Furthermore, this issue is directly related to the theft of my vehicle and credit cards, which should be taken into account when assessing the validity of the reported debt.

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau assist in ensuring that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax correct this misinformation on my credit report. Additionally, I ask that XXXX XXXX XXXX update their reporting to reflect the true status of the account, as it is currently under dispute due to the theft and ongoing negotiations.

Please advise on how I can further support this dispute and provide any additional documentation if necessary. I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring the accuracy of my credit reports.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.

Sincerely,

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

My account with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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!

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.

XXXX XXXX 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
