Please be apprised that you are in direct violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. In my opinion you have violated at least three sections of this act by : Failing to validate a debt as allowed to the debtor under 15 USC 1692 ( g ) Section 809 ( b ) Communicating with a debtor after receiving a cease and desist certified mail under 15 USC 1692 ( g ) Section 805 ( c ) Harassment of alleged debtor under the " abuse & harassment '' subsection of the statute, USC 1692 ( g ) Section 806 ( 5 ) the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts is that I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that your investigation was completed and my updated credit report still have the accounts I disputed when unfair traits and activities is being active to this companys that I think ilegally reporting in my credit profile that affects my life being tortured financially. 

I WANT TO KNOW WHY? HOW? When they can not provide A PROOF or and EVIDENCE OF ANY WRITTEN DOCUMENTS THAT HAS MY WRITTEN SIGNATURE THAT WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE BUSINESS WITH THOSE COMPANY. 

I DISPUTED those accounts because I never applied for any accounts to them. And I did not signed with my written signature to a written documents as trascation agreement. Please Make this negative accounts DELETED TODAY IN MY CREDIT PROFILE and deleted completely in my credit report as under 15 U.S. Code 1681b Permissible purposes of consumer reports i never gave you any written consent to report anything on my consumer report and As a consumer by law this account listed below must be deleted immediately! 

Pursuant to the FCRA, a consumer report does not include any report containing information solely about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. Any reporting of late payments or derogatory statuses is a direct violation of 15 USC 1681a ( d ) ( 1 ) as that information pertains to experiences any continuation of providing negative information required by section FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) a copy of which is enclosed which states that this information must be removed within four business days of receipt, I am requesting that the adverse information on the items be removed to correct my credit report.

My account with ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  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 in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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 XXXX  days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 XXXX  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

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Had nothing but problems with company from day XXXX. Started services with XXXX XXXX XXXX when moved. Took 3 months for them to acknowledge there was even an account in my name. Only way they finally found the account was because I was looking for a new cellular company and when they ran their searches finally found an outstanding balanceThen tried to tack all sorts of fees and charges to late bills. I had names for corporate people I had talked to in regards to trying to make a payment. After consistently having higher then promised bills I asked for the service to be disconnected, returned equipment and was told they would close account. Now I am finding it on my report and no one can find previous records to assist this point

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of XXXX - XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit file. Specifically, the credit report in question repeatedly displays Charged off for several months, every month has a repeating payment status which are inaccuracies that negatively impact my creditworthiness and UNJUSTLY EXTENDS the statute of limitations. You say you have investigated my complaints but false information still seems to appear on my credit report after THREE PRIOR COMPLAINTS regarding the matter. 

This marks my FOURTH request for investigation into this matter, emphasizing the serious repercussions for my financial standing. Please reference CFPB complaint XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX Such inaccuracies not only breach the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates accurate reporting of consumer credit information, but they also have significant repercussions. These inaccuracies HAVE UNJUSTLY EXTENDED the statute of limitations for example the opening date for XXXX  XXXX says XX/XX/year> its been eight years how is this information still on my credit report if Experian investigated this THREE times already, this is greatly impairing my ability to obtain credit in the future. This misinformation undermines my financial credibility. To highlight the seriousness of this matter I have also filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX 

In order to avoid any delays in processing and in the interest of transparency I have added my government photo ID, Proof of address, and social security card to verify my identity. Additionally I have added proof of the inaccurate payment history and the credit reporting companys prior investigations.

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

XX/XX/year> Dear XXXX This letter highlights an error that was discovered in my most recent credit report, related to the account listed below : Account : XXXX XXXX  : XXXX, Reported account does not match the reported accounts from the other bureaus. Remove the damaging accounts from my credit report. 

I am concerned about this inaccuracy in my credit report. Making a mistake like this could damage the account 's financial reputation. 

To top it off, this error is concerning. One expects that critical data that influences important financial choices will be handled with extreme caution to guarantee accuracy. The existence of this error raises questions about how effective the procedures used are. 

Pointing out that customers have the ability to dispute and have errors in their credit reports removed is crucial in light of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Customers have the specific right to contest information in their credit files, and Section 611 of the FCRA requires credit bureaus to look into the contested items.

In keeping with these goals, this letter requests that the recognized error be fixed and my credit report 's accuracy be restored in accordance with the FCRA 's Section 611 requirements. Feel free to get in touch if you require any more details or clarification. I appreciate you giving this urgent matter your attention.

Here 's the law US Code 1681 e ( b ) collections must be 100 % accurate across all 3 bureaus Best regards.

I responded to the CFPB after your reply to my original complaint that First Data Corporation responded to my complaint number XXXX saying that they have not charged my account since XX/XX/2011, when we stopped the merchant banking services. My business account is still being charged each month {$19.00} + {$79.00} = {$99.00}. XXXX  XXXX XXXX informs me that these merchant banking charges are being debited by First Data corporation. The charges after XX/XX/2011 are 10 years 21 months {$99.00} = XXXX XXXX XXXX = {$11000.00}. I have also sent them copies of the bank statements and the correspondence from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX that the charges are made by First Data Corporation. FISERV has been lying to XXXX XXXX XXXX, to me, and to you and refusing to stop the charges, even though they claim that they are not charging anything. They dont respond to emails and they dont answer phone calls. How do I get these illegal charges stopped?

I am writing to address an error in the balance reflected on my account. The balance appears to be incorrect, as it suggests a past due amount that does not accurately reflect my payment history. 

I want to clarify that all of my payments have been made on time, and at no point have I missed a payment deadline. I have consistently adhered to the payment schedule, and my records show that each payment was made in full and within the required timeframe. 

I kindly request that you review my account history and correct the balance to accurately reflect the payments I have made. Please provide an updated statement that shows the corrected balance. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
