My account with XXXX  XXXX 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 in those account 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 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!

To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this formal dispute regarding charge-off accounts on my credit report, and I am demanding their immediate and permanent deletion. While these items may have been verified, I assert that they are inaccurate, incomplete, and were reported without proper permissible purpose. A correction of these items is insufficientthey must be deleted.

1. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to Ensure Maximum Possible Accuracy As outlined under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies must ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information reported. The verification of these charge-offs is based on incomplete or inaccurate data, and I demand that these items be deleted immediately. 

2. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681b Permissible Purpose for Accessing My Credit Report The creditor must prove that they had a permissible purpose under 15 U.S.C. 1681b to access and report these charge-offs on my credit report. If no such proof is provided, the reporting of these items is unlawful, and they must be deleted.

3. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), any disputed information that can not be fully verified must be deleted. Despite the so-called verification from one CRA, sufficient documentation has not been provided to prove the accuracy and completeness of these charge-offs. As a result, these items must be removed from my report.

4. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681n Civil Liability for Willful Noncompliance If these charge-offs are not deleted and you fail to act within the statutory period, I will pursue legal action under 15 U.S.C. 1681n for willful noncompliance. I will seek statutory damages, punitive damages, and attorneys fees for your failure to meet your legal obligations.

5. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681o Civil Liability for Negligent Noncompliance Even if the noncompliance is found to be negligent rather than willful, you can still be held liable for damages under 15 U.S.C. 1681o. Any failure to conduct a proper investigation or correct the inaccuracies constitutes negligence under the FCRA.

I am not requesting a mere correction ; I am demanding the immediate deletion of these charge-off entries from my credit report. Failure to comply within the statutory 30-day period, as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681i, will result in formal legal action under the FCRA. Please confirm the deletion. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
