My account with 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 did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

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.

Company: Fundo LLC (OK)

I am writing to formally dispute an account reported by FUNDO that has been listed on my consumer report. I am disputing the validity of any and all debts alleged to be owed to this collection agency. Additionally, I am revoking their right to contact or communicate with me in any way, effective immediately. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the regulations established by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am exercising my right to request debt validation. Specifically, I am requesting the following : 1. Validation of the debt in accordance with 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), which has not been provided to date. 2. The purchase agreement between FUNDO and the original creditor to establish their right to collect on this debt. 3. Proof that FUNDO is licensed and bonded to collect debts in my state. I would like to bring to your attention that I have not been given the opportunity to dispute this account as required by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). Furthermore, FUNDO has violated my consumer rights by using false, misleading, and deceptive means in their attempts to collect this debt. FUNDO has no authority to furnish any account to consumer reporting agencies without providing the necessary disclosures required by law. This failure to comply constitutes a clear violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ). In light of these violations, I am requesting that the CFPB take immediate action to investigate and address this matter. I expect the account in question to be removed from my consumer report until proper validation is provided and my dispute is resolved. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation. I am prepared to provide any additional information or documentation that may be necessary to support my case. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''
