I've also called on MULTIPLE occasions regarding the negative items that are reported on my credit report. These accounts are NOT MINE. I am the primary consumer of the complaint and there is no third party involved. This complaint was not submitted in error. Attached you will also find my ID as proof of my identity and my Proof of Address.

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 am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Subject : Formal Dispute of Unauthorized Multiple Credit Inquiries and Request for Removal and Compensation Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally dispute unauthorized multiple inquiries on my Experian credit report. Despite an identity theft alert in place, your agency allowed companies such as XXXX XXXX  to make repeated inquiries in short intervals, drastically affecting my credit score and preventing me from securing housing and other credit.

My available funds were frozen and remained frozen until one of the 3 transactions posted to card. The three transactions werre XXXX for {$0.00} two times ( testing card ) and {$270.00} to XXXX XXXX.They told me that it takes 90-120 days to get $ back. Wisely refused to remove the hold and could not provide auth # or any info to assist me with getting information from XXXX XXXX. I escalated to super and they stated they would but could not remove hold and I would receive funds on XX/XX/XXXX which is 5 days per Visa regs. They did not inform me of where to send written confirmation of error to receive provisional credit within 10 days when I notified then. On XX/XX/XXXX one of the 3 transactions posted and removed {$270.00} from my card balance. On XX/XX/XXXX I received letter with case # and telling me to complete form and send back within 10 days but again it did not provide me with my right to provisional credit if I provided written notice of error. Written notice was already provided on XX/XX/XXXX and again via chat re : XXXX again they confirmed receipt and stated 45-90 days before investigation would be complete. I also completed this form and emailed it XX/XX/XXXX to the email on the form but it bounced back as invalid email address. 
I notified them via chat in writing of all info and they confirmed it was received, yet they continue to state it will take at least 45 days to get $ back. They are holding my funds for no reason for a fraudulent transaction and not adhearing to the regulatory requirments under REG E, EFTA or VISA Regs for unauthorized/fraudulent transactions.

Company: Advantage Finance LLC (TX)

In XX/XX/XXXX, I refinanced my title loan from XXXX to Advantage Finance. I ended up finding myself in a position where I got into a situation where I got behind on my rent due to some extenuating circumstances that were beyond my control & missed months of payments. I owed about {$6000.00} on the original loan & they finally came & picked up my car in XX/XX/XXXX. I ended up having to file a XXXX XXXXXXXX to retrieve my vehicle because at the time they wanted a lot of money that I didnt have at the time. I was considering dropping my bankruptcy to see if I could work something out regarding the total but now theyre saying I owe XXXX XXXX on a car that I just paid off in XXXX & its a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The current blue book value for the car if I were to sell it or trade it in would be {$7000.00} which is still double of whats owed. I spoke with my attorney who told me I should reach out if I wanted to forego my bankruptcy because Id like to invest in real estate in order to build a substantial income. Spoke with XXXX & was told in order to refinance that I need to pay {$7000.00} which is even more than the amount I borrowed. This is predatory lending & I hate that I even got the loan because Im trapped & cant get out of this. If I was able to pay the loan without all of the added interest I would be fine

Spoken to representative on XX/XX/scrub>XXXX. I notified agent that their reporting of my account is wrong on all 3 credit bureaus. It states my account is closed which is incorrect. States wrong last payment. Account status states repossession which is the wrong account status. I still have the vehicle in my front yard due to I paid the reinstatement fees and the account was brought to current and have also made a regular payment on the account .so the reported balance is wrong. This has substantially lowered my credit profile more than it should be the company 's false reporting.
