Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Billing dispute for services
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I noticed my credit score has been continuously decreasing every month since the beginning of this year. I checked my credit report today and noticed there are 6 late payments with XXXX XXXX. I have never heard of it or opened an account with XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX, and they confirmed someone opened an account and card under my name and social security number. XXXX XXXX confirmed there is a balance of {$11000.00}. However, they informed me that bank account was blocked and canceled by someone in XXXX. That someone, was also not me. The balance was never paid as I was never aware of this account since I did not open it. The the unpaid balance on this account as a result of identity theft has now significantly affected my credit score.

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 those account 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.

( CREDITOR NAME ) 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

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: DISCOVER BANK (NY)

During the Pandemic, I pro-actively reached out to all my creditors because we were mandated closed by the New York State. 

I communicated with my creditors about payments and what I could do while we were shut down about minimum payments. During this time they kept reassuring me that they understood and would work with me. There were days that I had to wait for XXXX hours on the phone trying to contact each vendor just to reach someone. 

I paid each creditor in full - all balances, interest, fees. I was told that upon payment that my account would show a positive payment status and history. I even asked them how they were going to report this to my credit bureaus. They all said that the account would show as being Paid in Full. 

However, this was not accurate or true. 
Based upon my review of my credit reports- They did not apply any PANDEMIC RELIEF or HELP to any months where I asked. They were recording every month as paid late. OR in one case even though the account was paid in full : The status was charged off. 
It was not until I asked them after making the payments why this was the case- when they each had indicated that due to the pandemic they would be providing some months of forgiveness and reduce the number of months that showed as late. In addition, my credit reports did not reflect for months afterward, the fact that each and every XXXX was paid to the creditors. 

I lost Business in the pandemic that I built for 20 years. I clearly know what it means to sacrifice and make changes. Each of my creditors was not cooperative nor were they transparent in how they were going to report my payments, final payoff, or any of the details that are negative on my credit report. 

If this is not resolved in a reasonable manner, I have hired an attorney and I will be suing each creditor and the credit reporting agencies for damages in STATE and FEDERAL COURT if I did not get a satisfactory resolution to this.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

It has come to my attention that there are errors on my credit report. 
Case law in XXXX vs. XXXX XXXX, courts ruled that information may not seem to be parroted and that a reasonable investigation must take place upon receipt of a consumer complaint. According to the FCRA, when a credit reporting agency receive a dispute the CRA must prove it or remove it.

I am demanding the proof be provided that these accounts are in fact mine or removed. Simply verifying that names, addresses and/or Social Security numbers match is insufficient. That s what fraud is, using information belonging to someone else to obtain credit. DO NOT tell me I need to file a police report, as there is no requirement to do so under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Is your obligation under the FDCPA to prove it or remove it. 
In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the courts said, during a dispute and subsequently investigation, with the original creditor, collector, or a credit bureau, that the original creditor or collector must provide account level documentation. That means an original contract, or similar proof, not just a printout of the payments that were made.

I am also notifying you that pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) that you should be aware that information furnishers have lost number suits and are unreliable. I will wait the appropriate time as prescribed by law at which time I will proceed to protect my good name and avail myself of any and all legal rights, including but not limited to look at auction.

Please make the requested corrections on the following account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Please note that I have opted out in writing of your forced arbitration terms and that I am willing to seek legal relief.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''
