Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NV)

I am writing to express my absolute outrage at the egregious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681I ) and the shocking absence of Metro 2 compliance evident in your recent reporting. Transparency, accuracy, and adherence to standards are non-negotiable, and it is abundantly clear that your actions have fallen disgracefully short of these expectations. 



Upon reviewing the credit report you provided, it is blatantly evident that it fails to adhere to both FCRA an

d Metro 2 data field formatting standards. This not only raises serious concerns about data accuracy but also highlights a complete disregard for established reporting processes. In light of this deplorable situation, I formally d
emand that you provide me with a document outlining all evidence supporting the inaccuracies in my report. This document must be verified and complete with sources. Any deviation from the XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) standards jeopardizes the integrity of dataa matter of grave concern. 



Furthermore, I insist that you take immediate and aggressive action to rectify any false accounts on my credit report. Address the non-compliance with Metro 2 standards and ensure my credit report adheres strictly to the established formatting standards. Remove any inaccuracies and false accounts promptly to comply with FCRA and Metro 2 standards. 



In accordance with the FCRA, I am entitled to sue for up to {$1000.00} per violation and Your immediate attention to this matter is not only crucial, but it is also imperative. Further non-compliance will result in swift legal action within [ 30 days ]. This is your final opportunity to rectify these violations promptly, or I will pursue legal action to remedy these violations and demand the immediate removal of inaccurate information. 



Furthermore, I remind you that you must immediately remove any unproven claims listed from your reporting. I demand nothing less than 100 % accuracy on my credit report, and I expect only factually accurate, verified, and compliant data to be documented in it. This includes claims that may comply with necessary reporting practices mandated to be certifiably compliant, especially the mandatory and complete Metro 2 Compliance standards set by XXXX in their XXXX, where it is clearly stated that any deviation from these standards jeopardizes the integrity of the data. 



Your immediate attention to this matter is non-negotiable. Act swiftly.

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

My account with the company and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH 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 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
