Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (IL)

A person that I had long lived with opened several fraudulent accounts in my name, including with LVNV. I did not know of its existence until a credit report was run. I then confronted the individual who opened the account. I have disputed the account with LVNV directly multiple times now, but they are insistent the account is mine. I have requested information that convinces them of this. Up to this point, they have provided some information, but nothing that definitively demonstrates that I created it. I filed reports with the local sheriff 's department, the credit bureaus, the FTC, and the FBI. By now, most creditors have acknowledged this and closed and deleted the fraudulent accounts from my credit reports.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AL)

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

I checked my credit report and found that some of the data were incorrect. The three credit bureaus are required by Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) to verify these accounts ( A ). It is not permitted to report these accounts as unverified information without giving any supporting documentation within the legally permitted time frame. My credit report lists the following issues as needing investigation and correction due to inaccurate reporting in my file.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

My account with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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. 

This company 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!

I am disputing this because the creditor did not provide me with a Form 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ). According to IRS regulations, creditors are required to issue a 1099-C when they discharge {$600.00} or more of a debtors obligation to repay. The lack of a 1099-C suggests that the debt may not have been legally canceled, and therefore, the write-off should not be reported on my credit report.
