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

My account with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had an exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result of a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made by the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hardship to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in 30 days 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 XXXX, 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!

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not readd or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
