In my Experian report, XXXX XXXX account number XXXX payments that I made on time have been marked as XXXX XXXX XXXX  days late, and XXXX XXXX XXXX  date lates which has negatively affected my credit score. In the first image I attached, you can see that my payments were made on time for XXXX in experiam report. After filing a complaint, the error not only persisted but was also changed to XXXX '' XXXX  days late, '' which is completely incorrect and harmful to my credit history. 

On the other hand, the second image I attached shows my XXXX report, where all my on-time payments are evidenced. According to the Consumer Protection Act, credit reports must be accurate and reflect the reality of consumers ' accounts. 

Under the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1666b and 15 U.S. Code 1681i, I have the right to dispute any inaccuracies in my credit report and demand an investigation. Despite submitting disputes, Experian has failed to rectify these errors. As a result of this misinformation, my credit score has been significantly impacted, leading to a denial of credit and other financial harm. Additionally, the incorrect reporting has caused unnecessary emotional distress as I continue to struggle with the consequences of these errors.

I was completely stunned when I saw incorrect accounts suddenly pop up on my credit report this morning, and I can't figure out why this is happening. I check my credit report regularly, and this has never happened before. I even tried refreshing my browser, thinking it might just be a glitch, but unfortunately, the wrong information remained. I'm really disappointed by this and now I'm requesting a thorough review of the documents I've submitted so that I never have to experience this XXXX  again.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally request the removal of the account associated with XXXXXXXX XXXX from my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to obtain proper debt validation through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), XXXXXXXX XXXX has consistently failed to provide the necessary documentation proving ownership of the debt in question. Instead, they have only responded with billing statements and a bill of sale, which do not meet the legal requirements for debt validation. 

According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S. Code 1692g ( b ) debt collectors must provide adequate validation of a debt upon request, which includes proof of an assignment of contract or documentation demonstrating legal ownership of the debt. Billing statements alone are insufficient for debt validation, as they do not prove that the debt collector has the right to collect the debt. Furthermore, providing a bill of sale is not proof of ownership ; it simply confirms that the debt was purchased, but it does not demonstrate that the purchaser has legal authority to collect the debt.

Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. Since XXXX XXXX has failed to provide proper validation, the continued reporting of this account on my credit report is a violation of federal law. 

For your reference, I have attached copies of the CFPB complaints I have filed and the responses from XXXX XXXX. These documents further demonstrate their failure to provide the required debt validation. 

I respectfully request that you investigate this matter and promptly remove any and all references to XXXX XXXX from my credit report. Please confirm in writing once this account has been removed. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

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

When I checked my credit report this morning, I was horrified to find incorrect accounts listed that weren't there before, and Im at a loss as to how this happened. I check my credit report often, and this was completely unexpected. I even tried refreshing the page, hoping it was just an error, but the wrong accounts still showed up. This has left me really upset, and I would appreciate it if you could carefully verify the documents I've sent to prevent this from happening again.

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.

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 

The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
