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, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with capital XXXX 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/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!

I previously reported the account showing on my credit report as XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, as an item not recognized or owned by myself and it was removed from my report. You all responded that it was not reporting on my account on XX/XX/year>, so it should no longer be listed as an item on my report today. There was no further authorization made by me for this item to be added back to my consumer report and I do not authorize or consent to having this item listed on my report. The previous request to block or remove was not made in error and was recognized as such by you all when you removed it from my report previously. I subsequently also contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX to validate the account which they were unable to provide validity of the account that they are reporting on my account. They failed to provide any documentation in which I have the legal obligation to be held liable for the account, the purchase of a charged off account does not obligate me to have any legal bindings with them or have this item listed on my consumer report.

I am submitting a formal complaint against Experian for failing to conduct a proper investigation into my disputes and for falsely accusing me of using an unauthorized third party to submit my requests. Additionally, Experian did not respond to my initial dispute letter. 
I mailed two separate dispute letters to Experian regarding inaccuracies in my personal information and accounts listed on my credit report. To verify my identity, I included copies of my photo ID, Social Security card, and a recent bill showing my current address. 
The first letter was mailed on XX/XX/year>, via XXXX certified mail ( tracking number XXXX ), but I did not receive any response from Experian via mail or email. Subsequently, I mailed a second dispute letter on XX/XX/year>, to which I received a response dated XX/XX/year>.

We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party.

According to the FCRA, when a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of information in their credit file, the credit bureau is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to verify the information. XXXX failure to fulfill this obligation constitutes a direct violation of the FCRA.
