XXXX XXXX, BELOW CITIBANK THAT REPORTED INACCURATE INFO, PLEASE CORRECT LATE PAYMENT INFO ON XX/XX/2024 PROOF OF PAYMENT ATTACHED # CITICARDS CBNA account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, SD XXXX, has violated my rights. 

When you provide information to a CRA, you have obligations under the FCRA to ensure the accuracy of the information you furnish. As a rule, its illegal to report information that you know or believe is inaccurate. You have " reasonable cause to believe '' that information is inaccurate if you have knowledge, other than allegations from the consumer, that would lead a reasonable person to doubt the accuracy of the information. FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) You may be exempt from this requirement if you give an address for consumers to report inaccurate information, but you can not, under any circumstances, report information the consumer has told you is inaccurate if it is, in fact, inaccurate. FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( C ) Closed Accounts If you furnish information to a CRA on a regular basis, you must notify the CRA that a consumer has voluntarily closed an account the next time you send information that would normally include that account. This is important because some users of information may interpret a closed account as an indicator of bad credit unless you clearly disclose that the consumer, not the creditor, closed the account. FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 4 ) If a CRA notifies you that a consumer disputes information you provided, you must : investigate the dispute and review all relevant information provided by the CRA about the dispute ; report your findings to the CRA ; provide corrected information to every CRA that received the information if your investigation shows the information is incomplete or inaccurate ; and modify the information, delete it, or permanently block its reporting if the information turns out to be inaccurate or incomplete or cant be verified. FCRA 623 ( b ) ( 1 ) You must complete these steps within the same time allowed under the FCRA for the CRA to resolve the dispute. Normally, this is 30 days after the CRA gets the dispute from the consumer. If the consumer provides additional relevant information during the 30day period, the CRA has 15 more days to resolve the dispute. The CRA must give you all the relevant information it gets within five business days of receipt, and must promptly give you additional relevant information provided by the consumer. If you dont investigate and respond to the notification of the dispute within the specified times, the CRA must delete the disputed information from its files. FCRA 623 ( b ) ( 2 ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 )

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

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.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: LEXISNEXIS (FL)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
