My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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.

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

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 


I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 


Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt. 

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items.

There's no proof that I'm delinquent or derogatory, so how can you report this? With all due respect, the claims within my report are wrong! You have to follow proper procedures if these claims are in your system and to be used in my credit reports! I challenge the accuracy and fairness of your findings by demanding evidence before you make any claims and take such drastic measures against my reputation.I know that you cant just decide which rules apply to your organization, so I won't let anyone report any false claims. it's important to make sure all of your claims are accurate and reported in the correct format- this is required by law ( FCRA ) as well as Metro 2 standards For any negative account I demand documentation / proof proving why your company considers it delinquent or derogatory. You have yet to provide me records documenting how your company verified and validated these accounts/ claims. Your proof of each negative claim you placed on my credit report should also include proof of a permissible purpose for any inquiry into the account. It's time for me to get my life back! I need you to send over some physical proof of what has been done and an updated credit report.Either confirm that this matter has been reported correctly or remove it from the report immediately. I am giving you 30 days to investigate.These allegations are without merit. Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim. If any of these claims are not true, please delete them immediately so I can restore my good name.

I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to conduct a reasonable investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report, which violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to Experian via XXXX certified mail ( tracking # XXXX ) requesting an investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report. Additionally, I disputed incorrect personal information listed on my credit report. 

To support my dispute and assist Experian in verifying my identity and address, I included a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address. 

However, on XX/XX/year>, I received an email response from Experian stating : We received a recent request regarding your credit information that does not appear to have been sent directly by you or to be authorized by you. As a precautionary measure, we have not taken any action on your alleged request. 

According to the FCRA, Experian is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file is disputed. It appears that Experian has failed to meet this requirement by not properly processing my dispute and not conducting a reasonable investigation into the inaccurate information on my report. 

I am attaching a copy of my dispute letter sent to Experian, along with their response, as proof of their failure to act.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: DRB-40, LLC (MO)

So, I have had my cell number for around 10 years. I keep repeatedly getting calls from a XXXX XXXXXXXX number. I have a XXXX XXXX, Mo number. Since they dont leave their name or who theyre calling from I have to look the number up that they say to contact them back on. Actually, the only thing they say on the VM is " Contact me or my associates at XXXX ''. Sometimes you may hear its start with XXXX but they ALWAYS leave out who theyre calling from or what their company name is, which I was under the impression is a illegal tactic under the FDCPA. 

Well, i called them once again and theyre name is Diversified Recovery Bureau LLC and theyre looking for a woman under the name of XXXX XXXX . Which I am not, no only is that not me but im a man, and no one in my family has that name. Ive told them this in the past. When calling, they dont even like to clearly tell you what their name is, they try to brush by it quickly and not clearly. Very unprofessional if you start questioning them. 

So, today is XX/XX/2023, I recieved another Vm doing the same thing, and i called them back to let them know that this is not me and they need to stop contacting me. Its frequent too. I have XXXX in my Vm log now, plus XXXX in my deleted folder, doing all the same tactic calling from XXXX number being ( XXXX ) XXXX. I have these Vm saved and can provide proof of them.

remove all negative items immediately The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times of how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
According to 15 use 1681 ( 5 ) The credit bureaus said everything was complete and accurate and I asked them how if the open date is wrong.

Then I ask them to provide me description of the investigation according to 15 USC 1681 ( 7 ) and they never did. I have proof of my letter for that.

Also according to 15 USC 1681 s-2 A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.
