I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

On XX/XX/XXXX I called my credit card and had XXXX XXXX taken off as an authorized user. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter in my inbox on my credit card that stated the authorize user has been removed. To clarify that I emailed them and ask them to add his name to the letter saying that he is no longer an authorized user. On XXXX XXXX it was reported to the credit bureau that he was still an authorized user so I called the credit company and ask them why they put him in as an authorized user because now his credit score dropped, and his debt to ratio went up. Hes trying to buy a house and now because of them reporting this to the credit bureau after I had asked them to remove him he hast to wait to get a mortgage for to refinance his house. I have documentation to prove this and I would like it removed immediately from his credit report. The credit card is a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX by XXXX XXXX 
When I called to dispute it with the credit card company, they were like oh well.

IN 2021, XXXX banking sold my mortgage to XXXX XXXX. At the time I was paying XXXX bimonthly and they would hold the first payment until the second arrived. When XXXX took over, I continued to make the biweekly payments from my bill pay account. But they would send the first back as an incomplete payment before the second payment arrived resulting in late payments. I spoke with someone on the phone and he said that XXXX also had that program, but I would have to pay to use it. I said that was fine but I would just mail the full payments instead of continuing the biweekly payments. Then I sent checks in and the checks were not cashed. I called to find out why the checks were not being cashed and was told they had not received them, but that it was not a problem they were going to put me in a COVID deferral program and I would receive documents on that within 30 days and not to worry about the missing checks. I received an approval letter and called weekly about the documentation. A month later I called again and was told that it was denied after all as I was now four months behind ( despite that I was told not to worry about the missing checks ) and that they were putting me in foreclosure. I told them I had the money as I had had it all along, yet multiple calls and no one would tell me the amount to pay to resolve the issue. I then received an email stating that the missing checks had been received, but they had gone to the old address and would not be cashed. Following that I received a mortgage acceleration letter. I finally found a customer service person who took pity on me and gave me the amount to take to the bank to resolve the issue before the legal department even moved forward with the foreclosure. However, they put multiple late payments onto my credit report including 120+ days. I have sent letters, spoke with their executive team and had a lawyer contact them and they refuse to resolve the issue removing the late payments from my credit saying that despite that I had been paying XXXX biweekly that they were not obligated to honor that and that I should have received a welcome letter with the change of address which I did not and my payments were automatic through my bill pay service. This is hands down the worst banking service I have ever had.

Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) require the equifax to validate these accounts ( A ).

I am a victim of identity theft. I was affected by the Equifax breach. My information was sold on the dark web. Ive spoken with numerous agents, asking them to please explain the documents that are accepted and needed to show that I was affected by the breach. I provided them with receipts showing I had to purchase credit monitoring services. Ive also asked what type of proof I can provide to show I took time off work trying to contact all three bureaus, on top of purchasing stamps, envelopes, and printing papers to send it, showing that I was affected, on top of paying lawyer fees. Every time they call, they state I would have to file an appeal. I stated, " Okay, thats fine. What do I need to include in the appeal? What type of documentation will be acceptable? '' They tell me they have to escalate the call and find out, which sometimes takes 2-5 days. When they call back, they literally read a script and still dont answer my questions. The calls are recorded and monitored. I feel its completely unfair to tell me I have 30 days to file an appeal but not provide me with the proper knowledge of the information that I need to submit my appeal. No email was ever sent with the directions regarding the appeal. The only thing the reps do is call back, reading from the script. The court settled and stated people that were affected by the claim. I was affected, and I am trying to do everything that I need to be compensated, and they arent working with me at all.

I wish to express my deep disappointment regarding the reporting provided by your organization, as documented in the enclosed document. It is regrettable to note that the aforementioned reporting falls significantly short of being comprehensive and fails to meet the standards I deem essential. As mandated by the law, it is crucial for both your esteemed entity and the data furnishers involved to undertake the certification of all facets pertaining to the obligatory Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Metro 2 compliance. This certification must be executed with utmost integrity, accuracy, thoroughness, and timeliness, so as to avoid any inadvertent violation or infringement upon my consumer and civil rights

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

My account with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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 that are reported 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. 


XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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
