Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (RI)

My account with XXXX XXXX - XXXX 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 me 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 - 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

I am in receipt of my credit report dated in XXXX 2023.Since obtaining my credit profile I came across this account that does not belong to me. I sent Midland Credit Management certified letters and have not received a response from them regarding inaccurate marks on my credit report. I am for certain that I do not owe your company any money. For starters, I have never done business with you. In fact, I had never heard of your company until having received my credit profile. What I find strange is your attempt to settle the debt with me when I do not owe you any money in the first place! Please see this as me disputing once again this alleged debt with your company as well as requesting debt *VALIDATION*. You have more than enough time for you to send me and CFPB legal supporting documents bearing that I've done some type of business with you, *HENCE OWING YOU MONEY*. This is not my debt. Since this " UNKNOWN '' debt appears to have been sold to a collection agency anyway. The contract should be CANCELLED!

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.

Prior to the pandemic, I requested my credit reports and only received a short summary which reflected some discrepancies. I then disputed them and I've attempted to request my three credit reports since then for multiple years now. I've also have requested for the incorrect information to be corrected and I have had difficulties getting an updated and corrected report from all three credit bureaus. I am now being told that I have to verify my identity with the information that is being stored on the reporting system which is all false. Thus, making it impossible for me to verify my true identity. I am still unable to access my reports. Please note that I have already sent a copy of my photo ID, birth certificate, and social security card via certified mail. My data has been compromised ; I have been summoned to court for accounts I have never obtained but the credit bureaus would not correct this error. It appears as my accounts have been frozen and I am unable to unfreeze them due to their request of verifying my identity which I have attempted to. I am being denied for services due to the information on my report. I feel as my rights have been violated and I am being abused by the system that should be assisting me on this crucial matter. I feel as though I'm being treated as a criminal for a crime I did not commit. I am even unable to vote due to this discrepancy. My housing, my license, my medical, my school, and even my livelihood is all been affected and are at jeopardy, I need help!!!!

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
