Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

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.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was enrolled in Comenity Bank 's hardship program due to my financial situation. The enrollment took place over a phone call, during which the agent assured me that my interest rate would be reduced and any late payment charges would be waived. To set up automatic payments, I provided my bank account number and went through multiple verification steps. The call was recorded for customer service purposes, and before ending the call, the agent confirmed that everything was set up correctly. 

However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter stating that I had not met the payment requirements. Troubled by this, I promptly contacted the bank and was informed that they would investigate the matter and get back to me. Unfortunately, I haven't received any communication from Comenity Bank since then. In the meantime, they reported the late payment to the credit bureau, causing significant damage to my credit score. Despite making multiple calls since XXXX, both Comenity Bank and the credit bureau have failed to assist me, exacerbating the negative impact on my credit. 

I respectfully request that Comenity Bank provide me with a copy of the recorded phone call as evidence of our agreement regarding enrollment in the hardship program. Furthermore, I request that they take immediate action to remove the late payment from my account, as it was a direct result of their failure to fulfill their promises. I also urge the bank to discharge any accrued interest rate charges and late payment fees, considering this situation as a failure of their service. It is my sincere hope that Comenity Bank will rectify this matter promptly and restore my credit to its rightful state. 

Furthermore, I would like to emphasize that the bank 's actions have caused significant stress and hardship in my life. By reporting the late payment to the credit bureau, my credit has been severely damaged, resulting in the inability to obtain loans or credit when needed. It is crucial for Comenity Bank to acknowledge the negative consequences their actions have had on my financial well-being and take appropriate measures to rectify the situation promptly. 

Thank you for your understanding and assistance in conveying this message to the relevant parties. If there is any further information I can provide, please let me know.

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.

I have been dealing with a case of ID theft which I had reported to XXXX, the FTC and to the parties where credit cards were attempted to be taken out in my name, as well as bank accounts set up under my name.

2 were in successful in being ratified by the same company ( Truist ). One being in XXXX for a bank account/CC being issued to an unknown party and recently a short-term, unsecured loan of {$7500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I only knew about this because their debt collection department called me on XXXX to ask where my payment was which I was of course ignorant of knowing about. They have been extremely inept in dealing with both case and find it alarming that they allowed 2 cases to slip through their defenses especially with knowing that I already had a dispute with the previous case. Furthermore, I'm not even a Truist client I closed my accounts with them in XXXX I filed a police report in the county where the infraction took place and am waiting for a a police report to be created so I can submit it to the fraud department to help close my case ( at the request of Truist ).

My account with ( XXXX XXXX ) 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 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 21 days before the payment due date.

( FREEDOM MTG ) 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
