" 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

XXXX is sending INCORRECT information to FICO-Equifax, stating that my account is closed, included in bankruptcy and there was a late payment XX/XX/XXXX. NONE OF THIS IS CORRECT. 

Only the FICO Credit Report is showing the wrong information. I requested/reviewed all 3 of my credit reports on the 3 credit bureau 's pages ( they are correct ). 

XXXX is being predatory and criminal because when I did a balance transfer to another account in XX/XX/XXXX, they took away {$11000.00} of established credit limit from my account ... in retaliation of my balance transfer. They went further to retaliate against me by reporting false information to FICO-Equifax Report starting in XX/XX/XXXX. But the supposed late fee they claim was in XX/XX/XXXX. I also reviewed the CC statements and verified with their credit department, that everything was in good standing. SO WHY ARE THEY REPORTED FALSE INFORMATION TO FICO-EQUIFAX? 

AGAINXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX HAS BEEN RETALITORY. THEY COMMITTED A FEDERAL CRIME, AND ARE SUBJECT TO LAWSUIT.

My account with the 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 XX/XX/2023 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!

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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries.

I have a credit card with XXXX XXXX XXXX I haven't used this card in over 3 months and i don't carry any balances on this card. I just recently lost my XXXX and XXXX, the card company is charging me a fee every month to have a card with them. In error i forgot to pay the {$10.00} fee, I wasn't notified about the late fee until it had climbed to {$57.00} dollars. I always put all my cards on auto payment as i have exceptional credit, this company doesn't have a auto payment feature in their system as they told me they stopped having it during covid and never put the feature back in the system. 
This is very stressful as i'm currently in the process of purchasing a home for me and my family, I just recently looked at my credit score and because of this {$10.00} 30 day late on my credit my score has dropped XXXX points from this issue. This will destroy my credit worthiness and history, Only because i wasn't able to put this card fee on auto payment. 
I have to manually pay {$10.00} every month. Im asking you to contact this company that hasn't been helpful at all. The company should at least have a option for auto payment, so if a customer has to pay this fee every month, he or she doesnt have to manually put a payment in for the fee of {$10.00}. I believe this is done purposely so most people will forget about the fee and be charged a late fee and late payment on their credit report.
