" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I write to you with deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the unauthorized inclusion of information in my consumer report, a clear violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b. This letter serves as an official dispute, urging your agency to conduct an immediate and thorough investigation into this serious breach of my rights. 

XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX DPT EDXXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX I am writing to dispute the accuracy of information contained in my consumer credit report. Upon recent review, I have discovered entries that violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA

), particularly Section 611, which mandates the maximum possible accuracy of information in a consumer 's file. Furthermore, the entries in question were reported without my written permission, contravening the requirements outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) of the FCRA. As such, I request an immediate, comprehensive, and impartial investigation into these entries. I expect a detailed response
outlining the findings of this investigation, including the original written instructions from me ( Consumer ) with my wet signature. 

Moreover, I am not aware of any legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments, and I affirm that I did not authorize the reporting of such information to your agency. Therefore, in accordance with Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA, I demand a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments, along with written confirmation of the investigation 's completion and details of any actions taken to rectify this matter. 

Additionally, I request documentation, including the periodic statement and tracking number, to prove that each periodic statement was delivered to me at least 21 days before the payment due date, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1666b.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

Simple timing issue. I sold my house and the payoff amount was held up because a check was sent to the bank instead of a wire. Ok, no problem, but then the XXXX never informed me that a check wasn't acceptable and instead of letting me know so I can have the new buyer send the wire, they never informed me and just hit my credit with 30 days late. That's insane especially since they DID receive payment on time and NEVER to date let me know. If I didn't monitor my credit I still would have no knowledge of my account being late. 

As of now the account is paid off and I just want the 30 days late removed from my credit

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
