Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

I am writing to formally dispute an entry on my credit report regarding a collection account with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ). This account does not belong to me, and I am requesting that it be removed from my credit report immediately. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report, and you are required to investigate and remove any information that can not be verified as accurate. I have never had any business dealings, nor have I signed any contract or agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Therefore, I am not legally obligated to pay this alleged debt. 

Additionally, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692, prohibits collection agencies from attempting to collect debts that are not valid or that do not belong to the consumer. Specifically, the FDCPA prohibits any form of false representation of the character, amount, or legal status of the debt. Since I have no contract or agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX, any attempt to collect this debt is in violation of the FDCPA. 

Please conduct a thorough investigation of this matter. If XXXX XXXX XXXX can not provide evidence that this debt is legitimate and that I am indeed responsible for it, you are required to delete this account from my credit report pursuant to the FCRA. 

I request that you provide me with written confirmation once the investigation has been completed and the inaccurate information has been removed. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect this issue to be resolved as soon as possible, as it is damaging to my creditworthiness and does not reflect my actual financial history.

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

My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 to be updated. 


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 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

I had rented a car from XXXX in XXXX MN, on XX/XX/year> I had {$1400.00} in my XXXX XXXX credit card account at the time XXXX was supposed to be taking {$460.00} off my credit card to extend the rental for another week. At that time my credit card was charged for {$1300.00}. When I called Chime about the issue which was that on the XXXX of XXXX I should of been charged {$460.00} and not {$1300.00}, that is {$850.00} more then what was supposed to be charged on my card. XXXX had been given {$570.00} ( on XX/XX/XXXX ) {$270.00} ( XX/XX/XXXX ) plus the {$300.00} deposit that was kept and not repaid, the same day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) the final sales transaction settled for {$830.00} for the {$1100.00} authorization hold for the first rental which started XXXX XXXX. An error had happened because Chime now says I owe them over {$500.00} and XXXX is telling me I owe them {$480.00} now yet I have a receipt and an invoice from XXXX  saying that I owe them {$25.00} then it went up to {$37.00} then the last time it was {$480.00}.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc. (WI)

I had loans for a private college through Navient. Navient put me in forbearance when I couldn't pay and told me that I'd sit in forbearance and accrue interest, or I should go back to school if I couldn't pay ( I elected to go back to school to try to get a higher paying job ). People like me should have been included in the settlement, can't tell if I actually qualify due to the limited information available, though think I should be eligible because I was steered towards accruing more debt, just in a different way than those pushed to forbearance long term. 

I received forbearance steering in the form of " we won't let you have it '' so " go back to school if you don't want to default '' When I try to log into Navient it takes me to my updated XXXX account. I previously reported it and they said they " couldn't find me '' which is disingenuous, and dishonest. I have attached a PDF of one of the hundreds of emails I have in my inbox from Navient about their servicing.
