Please note that this is my THIRD WRITTEN REQUEST. I have contacted the CREDITORS BELOW and they have no proof that I initiated such inquiries, no written authorization, and have provided no permissible purpose. Since they have no authorization from me, either written or verbal, THIS IS A VIOLATION UNDER FCRA Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). You are required by federal law to verify ( by physically verifying the original signed consumer contract ) each and every INQUIRY you list on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone who pays for your reporting services could fax, mail, or email a fraudulent account. 
The unverified items listed below remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. The FCRA requires you to have a copy of the original documentation from creditors on file to verify that this information is mine and correct. In the results of your first investigation, you stated in writing that you " verified '' that these items are being " reported correctly. '' Who verified these accounts? You have not provided me with a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRAyou are required to " immediately DELETE all information that can not be verified.

My account with XXXX XXXXwas 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 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. 

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 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

" 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

I am writing to you for the fifth time to dispute the inaccurate addresses that are currently listed on my credit report. Despite my previous communications dated [ insert dates of previous letters ], these erroneous addresses continue to appear on my credit profile, and no corrective action has been taken. These addresses do not belong to me and have never been associated with my personal or financial history. It is evident that there has been a significant oversight in the verification process conducted by your bureau. The continued presence of these inaccurate addresses on my credit report not only undermines my credibility but also reflects a blatant disregard for the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information they report. 

I have already provided ample documentation and evidence to support my claim that these addresses are incorrect. Your failure to address and rectify these inaccuracies is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of diligence in fulfilling your legal obligations under the FCRA. It is imperative that you take immediate action to investigate these discrepancies and remove the erroneous addresses from my credit report. 

I demand that you conduct a thorough and proper investigation into this matter and provide me with a detailed explanation of the steps taken to verify and correct my credit information. It is your responsibility to ensure that all items on my credit report are accurate and verifiable. The continued inaction on your part suggests a serious lapse in your verification procedures.

Without my knowledge, XXXX XXXX Bank ( XXXX ) increased credit limit from {$17000.00} to {$20000.00}. I contacted XXXX representative to discuss and request that it be kept at its original amount due to identify theft concerns. I also requested she place an " opt out '' note to prevent future increases. She did not mention this would be reported to credit agencies as a decrease in credit limit.

XX/XX/year> Submitted a written Credit Bureau dispute to XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX to Equifax, XXXX and XXXX that the credit increase/decrease on my credit report as submitted by XXXX were, in fact, false and not accurate. The decrease in limit was initiated by the consumer and not XXXX. I also submitted Consumer Statements stating that the information reported by XXXX was false. All three agencies refuse to correct credit increase/decrease reported falsely by XXXX. 
XX/XX/year> Received call from XXXX ( XXXX XXXX that he was advocating for a correction. He was not able to assist me.

I am requesting that XXXX reverse their decision and correct information on my XXXX credit reports indicating that " they '' increased credit limited from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX and then decreased it on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Consumers should not be penalized for trying to protect their credit that, unfortunately, allows credit card companies to automatically increase credit limits without their knowledge. 
This was a WFB error that they reported my consumer request as a " credit decrease '' when, in fact, it was the consumer who requested the change to the original credit to protect credit scores.
