I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Hello, I am writing regarding my mortgage loan which is serviced by Nationstar. There has been much discrepancy on who is the owner of my mortgage and if the mortgage was bundled legally, within the required time period, when it was sold.

After obtaining this information, I sent the necessary documents for the rescission of my contract with Nationstar MortgageI will be attaching documents which explore these complaints more fully.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : The late payment reported was due to a clerical error on the part of XXXX XXXX. My payment was made on time, as confirmed by my bank records, but it was incorrectly recorded as late due to an internal processing delay by the creditor. I have verified with my bank that the payment was processed and cleared on the due date. 
Evidence Provided : Bank statement showing the payment made on the due date. 
Confirmation from XXXX XXXX acknowledging the error in processing the payment. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I am filing a complaint against Experian for the unlawful reporting of child support obligations on my credit report. This reporting is inaccurate and violates federal law, specifically the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), and 28 U.S.C. 1738B. Child support obligations are not consumer debts and should not be reported as such on credit reports. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure that Experian promptly removes these erroneous entries from my report.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX Re : Request for Removal of Charge-Off Account Account : XXXX  Account Number : [ XXXX ] Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the information being reported on my credit report under the account listed above. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681 et seq., I am exercising my rights under federal law to challenge the validity and completeness of this account 's reporting.

Under Section 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies are obligated to provide a detailed description of the investigation they conduct within 15 days of receiving a consumer 's dispute. Therefore, I request that you initiate a thorough investigation into this account 's history and provide me with the following information : 1. The Original Creditor 's Verification : Please verify the accuracy of the reported information with the original creditor, including the date of first delinquency and the accuracy of the balance owed. 
XXXX. The Date of First Delinquency : According to my records, the date of first delinquency and subsequent charge-off may have been reported inaccurately. Please confirm this date, as it is critical in determining the reporting period.

3. Verification of Account Status : The current status of this account appears inconsistent across the various credit reporting agencies. Specifically : o XXXX reports the account as Charged off as bad debt with a derogatory rating and mentions Dispute resolved ; customer disagrees. 
o Experian reports Subscriber reports dispute resolved - consumer disagrees, noting an unpaid balance reported as a loss. 
o XXXX lists the account as Amount in high credit original charge-off amount and mentions XXXX disputes after resolution. 
XXXX. Inconsistent Payment Histories : The payment history reported by XXXX, Experian, and XXXX varies significantly, reflecting discrepancies that cast doubt on the accuracy of the account information. 
Given these inconsistencies, I believe that this charge-off account may not be reported accurately or in full compliance with the FCRA. Therefore, I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit report immediately, or that you provide conclusive evidence to support the continued reporting of this account.

If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this account, I expect you to remove it from my credit report within the legally mandated 30-day period. Additionally, please provide me with a copy of the detailed investigation report as required by Section 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving confirmation of your receipt of this dispute and the results of your investigation. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/year> SSN : XXXX
