I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that XXXX out of XXXX of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

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.

Company: DIGITAL FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (AZ)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my consumer report. It has come to my attention that your agency is reporting information on my consumer report without my consent, thereby failing to apply maximum accuracy in accordance with your vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit information as stipulated in 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ).

Furthermore, I am aware that your company policy requires you to maintain written consent from me, the consumer, authorizing you to report any account on my consumer report. Federal law under 15 U.S.C. 1681b requires that you must have either court jurisdiction or a handwritten letter from me giving you permissible purpose to report such information. Your failure to adhere to these requirements constitutes a violation of my privacy.

Additionally, as a financial institution, you are obligated to uphold maximum privacy of my nonpublic personal information pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 6801 ( a ), which states that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information.

Moreover, I demand that your agency immediately cease and desist all illegal activities and all mediums of communication related to the collection of this alleged debt. Your persistent attempts to contact me at inconvenient times have caused significant disruption and damages, affecting my business hours of operation. I am fully aware that a medium of communication also includes my consumer report, and I demand the deletion of the account reported on my consumer report.

I demand that your agency promptly investigate this matter and remove the inaccurate information from my consumer report. Please provide me with a written response detailing the actions you have taken to rectify this situation within 30 days of receipt of this letter.

Failure to comply with these demands will leave me no choice but to pursue all available legal remedies to protect my rights and seek compensation for the damages caused by your actions.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

The failure of XXXX XXXX XXXX to provide the requested validation leaves me with no other recourse but to seek your assistance in ensuring that this erroneous debt is expunged from my credit records.

My account with this company is being reported late 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 MONTHS REPORTING 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. 

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.

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.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (CA)

Seterus , Inc., was a division of the XXXX XXXX lender who purchased my home loan and began a series of illegal attempts to change the terms of my morrtgage, the date the mortgage was initiated was off by 7 years, the length of the mortgage was increased from 30 to 48 years, and continual unsuccessful attempts to modify or forclose on my mortgage. The company was shut down for its business practices, but not before it had damaged my credit with false legal fees, additional money taken from my checking account for " homeowner insurance '' when I always was covered, false reporting of late payments when they had auto-pay, additional fees for XXXX` drive by '' visual inspections to make sure my property was inhabited, and continual phone abuse reminding me of upcoming payments when they had an auto-pay account with me. When their company was shut down, they were ordered to remove any reference to them on my credit reports. They did not. My loan was subsequently transferred to another mortgage company where it was paid on time for the duration. This has gone on for 5 years, and needs to be removed from all credit reporting agencies.

Please provide me with the return of the time and form as prescribed by regulation or the Secretary of my name, my address, my TIN, the date, and amount of the discharged/charged off debt and any other information as prescribed by the Secretary.
