Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

My account with EQUIFAX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

I have previously filed a complaint with the FTC regarding these negative accounts, but they are still present. It has been a while since I took action, and there has been no resolution so far. Additionally, I received a letter from the credit bureaus stating that I am not responsible for sending the letter to them, which is incorrect. I am the one who should send my letter.

I show a bankruptcy on my credit report. I contacted the court and they said they didn't furnish any information to the bureaus. It is clear they do not report to you or any credit bureau for that matter ; therefore the item with the court was either an error or a lie. Either way, the reporting requirements do not comply with FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681I ) and the information must be deleted immediately.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

I am a victim of identity theft, and despite my repeated efforts to notify XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX about the fraudulent information on my credit reports, they have failed to remove the inaccurate addresses, phone numbers, and employers that do not belong to me. This situation has caused me significant distress and has the potential to harm my financial well-being. 

I have sent multiple letters to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX detailing the fraudulent information and requesting its removal, but to no avail. The addresses, phone numbers, and employers listed on my credit reports are not associated with me, and their presence is a result of identity theft. 

The fraudulent accounts and personal information on my credit reports, as well as the addresses mentioned in the documents I provided, clearly indicate that my identity has been compromised. Despite my efforts to rectify this situation, the credit bureaus have failed to take appropriate action. 

I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure that XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It is crucial that the inaccurate and fraudulent information on my credit reports is promptly removed to prevent further harm to my financial reputation and well-being. 

Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

XX/XX/year> Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Information XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account Number : XXXX Dear Equifax Dispute Resolution Team, I am writing to formally dispute an item on my Equifax credit report that is inaccurate. The account in question is listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX, with account number XXXX. 
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that this account has been inaccurately reported. I contacted the creditor directly, but they referred me back to the credit reporting agency. Despite this, Equifax has previously verified the account as accurate.

This incorrect information has significantly impacted my credit score and overall credit health, resulting in a denial of credit and a noticeable dip in my credit score.

Given these circumstances, I am requesting that Equifax either correct the inaccuracies or remove the account from my credit report. The presence of this incorrect information is unjustly harming my credit profile, and I respectfully ask for a thorough re-investigation of this matter.

Please provide me with a written confirmation of the results of your investigation and the actions taken to rectify this error.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX Re : Request for Removal of Charge-Off Account Account : XXXX Account Number : [ XXXX ] Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the information being reported on my credit report under the account listed above. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681 et seq., I am exercising my rights under federal law to challenge the validity and completeness of this account 's reporting.

Under Section 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies are obligated to provide a detailed description of the investigation they conduct within 15 days of receiving a consumer 's dispute. Therefore, I request that you initiate a thorough investigation into this account 's history and provide me with the following information : 1. The Original Creditor 's Verification : Please verify the accuracy of the reported information with the original creditor, including the date of first delinquency and the accuracy of the balance owed. 
XXXX. The Date of First Delinquency : According to my records, the date of first delinquency and subsequent charge-off may have been reported inaccurately. Please confirm this date, as it is critical in determining the reporting period.

3. Verification of Account Status : The current status of this account appears inconsistent across the various credit reporting agencies. Specifically : o XXXX reports the account as Charged off as bad debt with a derogatory rating and mentions Dispute resolved ; customer disagrees. 
o Experian reports Subscriber reports dispute resolved - consumer disagrees, noting an unpaid balance reported as a loss. 
o XXXX lists the account as Amount in high credit original charge-off amount and mentions Consumer disputes after resolution.

4. Inconsistent Payment Histories : The payment history reported by XXXX, Experian, and XXXX varies significantly, reflecting discrepancies that cast doubt on the accuracy of the account information. 
Given these inconsistencies, I believe that this charge-off account may not be reported accurately or in full compliance with the FCRA. Therefore, I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit report immediately, or that you provide conclusive evidence to support the continued reporting of this account.

If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this account, I expect you to remove it from my credit report within the legally mandated 30-day period. Additionally, please provide me with a copy of the detailed investigation report as required by Section 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving confirmation of your receipt of this dispute and the results of your investigation. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/year> SSN : XXXX

I am writing to you for this time regarding the accounts listed below that continue to appear on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to have these inaccuracies corrected, these accounts remain on my report, negatively impacting my credit score and causing me undue stress and hardship. I am once again formally requesting that these accounts be permanently removed from my credit report. This request is made under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which obligates credit reporting agencies to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. These are the following accounts : XXXX. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - It seems that the following information reported is incorrect : account number, payment status, and date open. Get it right immediately ; otherwise, update the account from my report. 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - You are reporting different information from other bureaus. Per FCRA, reporting must be 100 % accurate or the information must be updated. 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - Please check the Payment History and Status information on this account and adjust accordingly. 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - Please check the status of this account. It is entirely wrong, to begin with. I was never late on this account. 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - My record shows that this account was paid as Agreed and I never missed a payment. Please update it immediately. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - The number of late payments is incorrect. I never missed a payment. Please adjust immediately. 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - I requested an investigation and the removal of the charge-off status. No changes were made. No investigation was conducted at all. You had optimal time to review this matter and make the appropriate corrections, you elected not to. 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXXalance Owed : {$200.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due as stated. That is utterly unfathomable! Had a proper investigation been conducted you would have seen the error and corrected it immediately. You failed to do your job ; you must now REMOVE THIS ITEM ALTOGETHER.
