I filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Complaint # XXXX ) and they failed to respond to the XXXX  complaint.

My accounts 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/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 am so displeased with the way my information was used. I was trying to buy a home for my family, and I got denied due to damages on my consumer credit report. This is a defamation of my character, and its hindering my success. I take my livelihood very seriously, and I expected you all to as well. According to 15 U.S.C & 1681, you are supposed to promote fairness and accuracy on my credit report. But all i see are fraudulent and unauthorized accounts. I have been a part of several breaches, so at this point, you all should be protecting my privacy. This is detrimental to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I don't have access to buy a house now. I am enforcing my rights, and I expect you to be more ethical with my information. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, not one credit reporting agency should be reporting any inaccurate information anyways due to neglect use considering that I was in breach. I need help now so I can proceed to buy my family a house.

This complaint is against XXXX University in the City of XXXX XXXX. 
On Monday, XX/XX/XXXX I received an alert from experian that my XXXX XXXX had decreased. Upon checking, it said XXXX University had reported late payments. I was not sure what this was about. After much investigation on my own end, I realised that XXXX University is my loan servicer for my Federal Perkins loans. 
When I graduated last year and I sat down with my financial/loan adviser at school I was told all my loans were serviced by XXXX. I have been in touch with this servicer and was advised that payments are suspended and interest accrued is 0 % during these difficult times. I believe this to apply across board, including to my Perkins loans. 
Upon realising that XXXX University is a servicer, I contacted them via phone and email, but to no avail. I wanted to know how to pay the amount due, how to process this report, and just any help to get some answers, but no one returned my calls or responded to my email. Moreover, before reporting me to the credit bureau for late payments they did not as much as send me an email telling me that my payment is due, or that I am in repayment. There was literally no way for me to know this information, other than me spending hours trying to figure this out after my credit has been ruined. 
I am already undergoing a very strenuous time with this pandemic and this reporting is causing several hurdles in my ability to access funds. What is worse is that I am not even able to contact someone to figure out a way to rectify the late payment. Although the university shouldn't be penalising new graduates, when the degree they provide doesn't guarantee job prospects.

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my consumer report. It has come to my attention that your agency is reporting information on my consumer report without my consent, thereby failing to apply maximum accuracy in accordance with your vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit information as stipulated in 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ).

Furthermore, I am aware that your company policy requires you to maintain written consent from me, the consumer, authorizing you to report any account on my consumer report. Federal law under 15 U.S.C. 1681b requires that you must have either court jurisdiction or a handwritten letter from me giving you permissible purpose to report such information. Your failure to adhere to these requirements constitutes a violation of my privacy.

Additionally, as a financial institution, you are obligated to uphold maximum privacy of my nonpublic personal information pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 6801 ( a ), which states that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. 

Moreover, I demand that your agency immediately cease and desist all illegal activities and all mediums of communication related to the collection of this alleged debt. Your persistent attempts to contact me at inconvenient times have caused significant disruption and damages, affecting my business hours of operation. I am fully aware that a medium of communication also includes my consumer report, and I demand the deletion of the account reported on my consumer report. 

I demand that your agency promptly investigate this matter and remove the inaccurate information from my consumer report. Please provide me with a written response detailing the actions you have taken to rectify this situation within 30 days of receipt of this letter. 

Failure to comply with these demands will leave me no choice but to pursue all available legal remedies to protect my rights and seek compensation for the damages caused by your actions.

I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.

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.
