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

My account with Equifax was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX 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.

Equifax 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 hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter that has come to my notice recently. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have discovered several fraudulent inquiries that I did not initiate. These unauthorized inquiries have significantly impacted my credit standing and raise concerns about potential identity theft. I am deeply concerned about the presence of these fraudulent inquiries as they may not only damage my credit score but also indicate possible fraudulent activity on my personal information. I have taken great care to safeguard my sensitive details, and the existence of these inquiries has raised alarm bells regarding the security of my personal data. I would like to emphasize that I did not authorize any entity, individual, or organization to inquire about my credit history. I demand immediate investigation and removal of these unauthorized inquiries from my credit report to rectify this distressing situation. To assist in your investigation, I have enclosed a copy of my credit report, highlighting the suspicious inquiries in question. I urge you to take prompt action to rectify this matter and restore the accuracy of my credit history. Additionally, I request written confirmation once the inquiries have been removed and any corrective action has been taken. Furthermore, I have already taken steps to protect myself from potential identity theft by placing fraud alerts with the three major credit bureaus. However, I am relying on your expertise and assistance in addressing this matter thoroughly and preventing any further damage to my credit reputation. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report, and I expect that this right will be fully respected throughout the resolution process. I expect to receive your written response within 30 days of your receipt of this letter, as stipulated by the FCRA. Failure to respond within the stipulated timeframe may result in my escalation of this matter to the appropriate regulatory authorities and legal action if necessary.
