I reviewed my Consumer Reports and noticed I have incorrect items on my Consumer report that I was not aware of. Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report Consumer information to the best of their ability with Maximum Accuracy. I have never been late on payments and also I have no knowledge of these Fraudulent accounts and Fraudulent inquiries Please investigate and provide Proof with statements showing that these payments were late and that these Fraudulent accounts and Fraudulent inquiries our mine. If proof can't be provided I demand these payment accounts and inquiries be updated too on time as they should be as I was NEVER Late and the Fraudulent account and Fraudulent inquiries be removed. Thanks

I am writing in response to their recent decision made on XX/XX/2024 to deny my request for the removal of the " charge-off '' status and other negative remarks from my account which I requested on XX/XX/2024. I strongly disagree with their decision and am formally demanding a redetermination based on several legal grounds. 

Firstly, under 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts, only the original creditor has the authority to validate debts. As the original creditor, I assert that I do not validate these debts or accounts. Their attempt to present themselves as the original creditor is misleading. My signature and Social Security Number on the application signify that I am the one who granted value, thus making me the original creditor. Therefore, any claim of debt by their company is invalid and must be removed from my account records. 

Additionally, I wish to highlight that their company is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1601, which outlines the necessity for transparency and fairness in credit transactions. Their failure to comply with these regulations is unacceptable. Moreover, under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which pertains to civil liability for willful noncompliance, their company 's actions have caused significant harm to my credit standing.

My account with XXXX 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 XXXX  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 XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX 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
