Subject : Immediate Action Required : Dispute of Incorrectly Reinserted Collection Account To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to demand an immediate reinvestigation of the collection account identified as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. This account was previously removed from my credit report, and I find it unacceptable that it has been reinserted without proper verification. 

I want to be crystal clear : I do not owe this debt. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are obligated to ensure the accuracy of the information on my credit report. I expect you to uphold this responsibility without delay. 

I require the following information immediately : 1. Verification of the Debt : Provide documented proof that this account is mine, including details of the verification process used for its reinstatement.

2. Original Creditor Information : Confirm the original creditor and their validation of this debt.

3. Explanation of Reinstatement : A detailed account of why this entry was reinserted after being removed. 
If you can not provide verifiable evidence supporting this account, it must be removed from my credit report immediately. I will not tolerate any inaccuracies that could damage my credit standing. 

Failure to comply with this request will compel me to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider all available legal options to protect my rights. 

I expect your prompt attention to this matter, with a response within the 30-day timeframe required by the FCRA. 

Thank you for your immediate action. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

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

My account with 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.

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.

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

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
