I was genuinely taken aback to see incorrect accounts listed on my credit report today with no explanation. I checked my report as I normally do, only to find discrepancies that seemed to pop up out of thin air. I even refreshed the page, thinking it might be a technical issue, but the incorrect accounts remained. Because of this, Im asking for a thorough review of the documents Ive provided to ensure this never becomes an issue again.

" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 
In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat this item is being reported correctly? Who verified this item? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the item listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to have verified these. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. As in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

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.

Last XX/XX/XXXX my mom had a XXXX XXXX and sad to say I had to borrow again despite a promise to myself not be rob again with a consent. Payment has been debited to my account struggling until the pandemic came. I called every credit card and to the other companies I have loans and made arrangements and successfully they were able to accommodate me and was kind enough to follow what the government was saying regarding postponement except RiseCredit. RiseCredit if I remember mentioned having a {$10.00} interest but did not understand that it was daily until I was told by XXXX ( Customer representative ) today XX/XX/XXXX in the evening. She said that I agreed during my conversation last XXXX. I did not understand what was the conversation regarding charging me daily because attached if I am still paying the same amount every two weeks I will not ask for a favor during the pandemic difficulty. I am very sad and furious that I borrowed {$4000.00} and after 9 payments it is even increasing. I need money because I am financially drained. I do not understand all the math that person has been telling me last XXXX but whatever the case maybe it is very unfair to do this to someone who already has a hardship with money. I feel like I am going to kill myself for company like them. Please help me stop this to victimize another people who need help desperately. When you need help and they tell you a lot of things and you are already in trouble yo9u would say yes even if you did not understand. they should not be tolerated to operate this way changing 4, 000 % interest and what they say is " You agreed ''!!! I hope you can help me. If this organization can't help me I will seek a lawyer or won't stop until they are being stopped.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MS)

My accounts 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 to be removed/updated.

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.

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 complaint with the three major credit bureaus regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. They have ignored my complaint and are accusing me of using a third party to file it. This is not true, as I submitted the complaint myself. Attached are some letters and a copy of my ID for your review. If they continue to ignore my complaint, I will file a lawsuit against them and seek compensation for the damages they have caused
