I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

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.

Since 2020, I have been disputing a debt with all three credit bureaus. In XXXX, I sent certified dispute letters to all three bureaus, along with all required documents, including my ID and Social Security number. XXXX returned the certified mail green card but has not provided any response regarding the dispute. I have not received the certified return card from XXXX or Experian. XXXX has repeatedly stalled, asking for more information despite receiving everything they requested. 

I also disputed the debt online, but the investigation results came back as accurate and validated. When I contacted Experian to ask for documentation on how they validated the debt, I spoke with a representative who was very rude. She informed me that they use an automatic system for disputes and that she was not allowed to share any information about how the debt was validated. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 18 U.S. Code 1028, 15 U.S.C. 1681b, and 15 U.S.C. 6802, I have the right to dispute inaccurate information and to receive documentation validating the debt. I have repeatedly asked for the validation of the debt, including the original purchase agreement, payment history, and proof that the collection agency is licensed to legally collect the debt. Both the credit bureaus and the collection agency have refused to provide this information, which is a violation of my rights under these laws. 

I respectfully request the immediate removal of this debt from my credit report, as the bureaus and the collection agency have failed to comply with federal regulations and have repeatedly violated my rights.

My account with 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 60 days 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.

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
