I've been a victim of identity theft. I have noticed some inaccurate and fraudulent accounts on my credit report that I did not benefit from. According to 15 USC 1681 ( e ) B, this is a law for accuracy that the credit reporting agencies MUST verify in order to report any accounts to my credit. All information sold to the debt collectors and chargeoff accounts which appear on my credit, are indeed fraudulent and did not have my consent to have my information. My car loan was originally opened for $ XXXX, and accrued to $ XXXX when I was affected by XXXX. It has not been fully repossessed, as the GAP insurance company still has not even paid the loan company the amount of my GAP insurance. Also, I never authorized for a first financial credit line account to be opened in my name. I need these fraudulent, inaccurate accounts removed immediately. 
I will provide my identity theft report, my proof of address, my driver 's license ID, and proof that I was impacted by XXXX, which was after the time of when I got the car and fell behind on payments. My balance should not be $ XXXX, and when I called today, they stated I owed up to $ XXXX which would not be accurate either.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

My account with this XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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.

To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet and I feel as if I am being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is clearly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been well over 60 days and should be removed promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress that youve caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and my information may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.
