XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX NY XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX To Whom It May Concern, Going over my credit report, I have found it has many errors. It has come to my attention that you are reporting what I believe to be inaccurate data, which I dispute, and this letter is an appeal for your assistance. As a national reporting agency, you are governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( " FCRA '' ), which protects consumers from inaccurate, outdated, or invalidated information reporting of their credit file. The FCRA states that it's the Credit Bureau 's responsibility to ensure that all information contained within consumer credit files is accurate and free from errors. 
According to federal law, you are required to comply with the requirements imposed under the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., including but not limited to : follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information in the consumer report, as required by 15 U.S.C. $ 1681e ( b ) ; 2 ) comply with the investigation requirements ; XXXX ) should not provide consumer credit file to companies without determining that these companies had a permissible purpose to obtain consumer credit file pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ; 4 ) provide consumer credit file pursuant to 15 U.S.C. $ 1681g ; 5 ) et seq. 
Accordingly, I request your company to provide verifiable documentary proof ( e.g., original consumer contract or similar proof bearing my wet ink signature on it ) you have on file of accounts/items listed below. Under the FCRA, if you do not provide documented and verifiable proof, you must remove all unverified, invalid, derogatory information from my consumer disclosure report.

Please correct this by the removal of these items from my credit report. See. Exhibit A. Upon completion of your investigation, please send a detailed description of the procedures used to determine the accuracy of the account ( XXXX ) I am disputing, as well as the name and contact information of the agent conducting the said investigation in case further communication is necessary.

My account with EQUIFAX 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 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.

EQUIFAX 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!

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 am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate information on my credit report and to bring to your attention violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by Equifax.

Violation of FCRA Section 607 ( b ) : Equifax has failed to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of the information included in my credit report. As a result, my report contains unauthorized accounts, incorrect names, and addresses that do not belong to me. These inaccuracies are directly related to the breach of my personal information. 

2. Violation of FCRA Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) : I have disputed the inaccurate information with Equifax, requesting that the accuracy of these disputed items be verified. Despite this, Equifax has not conducted a proper investigation or verification, and the incorrect information remains on my credit report.

Breach of Personal Information : My personal information, including my Social Security number and financial account details, was compromised in a data breach. This breach has resulted in identity theft, which has caused unauthorized accounts to be opened in my name. I have reported this breach and the subsequent identity theft to the appropriate authorities.
