These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

I went to a used car dealership on XX/XX/2019 at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX to test out a XXXX on their lot. Met the salesman, test drove it and I loved it. After three hours of negotiating a contract I was able to get the deal and price I wanted. I signed numerous papers and was told my car would be ready in two days so they could detail it. 

Two days later I get a call from the manager telling me the car has numerous leaks and they wont sell it to me now, and that its being put up for auction. I told him my family member is a mechanic and Id like to have him look at it, knowing this already seemed fishy. He told me no and that their reputation stands by it. He said I can look at other cars on the lot and get one of those, I told him no, the Jeep was what I wanted and came for and that they should honor my contract or terminate it. 

He terminated it. Found out he sold the XXXX to another person. Now, I have all these inquiries on my credit report that I can't get a loan approved for it. Many of these inquiries I didn't authorize.

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

My account with the company has always been in good standing, and I have never been late with a payment. I have a stellar payment history with XXXX XXXX, with all payments set up on Autopay. The reported late payment is due to a systematic error on their part in processing my payment. 

This is a clear billing error by the company and does not reflect my actual payment history, which is a violation of USC Code 1681eb. This mistake has significantly harmed my reputation, character, lifestyle, and family.

I demand that the late payment reported in the specified months be removed.

The company is not in compliance with 15 USC 1666b, which outlines the requirements for treating a payment as late. They reported my payment as late without following the law.

According to 15 USC 1666b ( a ), a creditor can not consider a payment late if they have not adopted reasonable procedures to ensure that each periodic statement, including the information required by section 1637 ( b ), is sent to the consumer at least 21 days before the due date.

The company failed to send the periodic statement and the necessary disclosures as required by section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date in good faith pursuant to rule 1002, but this proof was never provided. 

This situation is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and unjust to me as a consumer. 

Please remove the late payments from my consumer reports.

At this time I would like to prepare another appeal for investigation before I confer with my own counsel to obtain advice on how to handle fraudulent, incorrect and unverifiable account that is kept to be established as correct.

My account with ( 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 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. 


( 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

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from Venmo informing me that unusual activities had been detected on my account, and I was required to provide additional information to verify my identity. I promptly complied by uploading my ID via the Document Upload Form as requested. 

However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a follow-up email from Venmo stating that there was nothing more that could be done to unfreeze my account and that there was no further information I could provide to resolve this issue. Since then, I have made numerous attempts to contact Venmo via email, phone, and the in-app support feature. Unfortunately, my messages have either been ignored or met with the same responsethat nothing further can be done to assist me. 

This situation has caused me significant inconvenience and financial distress. As a customer, I believe I am entitled to a clear explanation of the reasons behind the suspension of my account and the withholding of my funds. Furthermore, I believe it is unacceptable for a financial service provider to withhold a customer 's money for over six months without providing a satisfactory resolution or proper communication.

Section 602a of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ) emphasizes the importance of consumer reporting organizations upholding fairness, impartiality, and respect for privacy. XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting companies ; I am the consumer. According to 15 USC 6801, financial institutions must respect customers ' privacy and protect their nonpublic personal information. The title " Furnisher of information to credit agencies '' defines a financial organization.

Section 2 of 15 USC 1681 states : " In general. '' According to subsection ( c ), a consumer reporting organization may only provide a report based on the written instructions of the consumer. The banking institution and consumer reporting companies, XXXX and XXXX, did not obtain my express agreement to provide this information. XXXX and XXXX 's consent to provide information to credit agencies, whether spoken, nonverbal, written, or inferred, is revoked. 
15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) provides : " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' ( provider of information to credit agencies ) I was never advised of my right to nondisclosure. Not only that. 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This is an unpleasant thing being reported again without my authorization which is against the law. 
According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A, individuals are prohibited from providing incorrect information about consumers to consumer reporting agencies if they have probable grounds to believe it is so. 15 U.S. Code Section 1681e states '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to confine the providing of consumer reports to the reasons listed under part 1681b of this title. XXXX and XXXX aren't following acceptable processes. Also According to 12 CFR 1016.7, consumers have the right to opt out at any time. Therefore, I am opting out of your reporting services.
