I have items passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

XXXX is reporting my account closed on XX/XX/XXXX, where as this account was to fall off the report this XXXX. 

I have another document showing the original close out date on XX/XX/XXXX Equifax did this as well on my accounts. 

XXXX, to date is still keeping the original closure date of the account. 

This is complete FRAUD and a SCAM to me. These actions are directly hurting my ability to find a home to live and is constantly creating a breach of my peace. I have been dealing with this issue of False Reporting for years with XXXX Bank. 

I want these three accounts removed off the credit report. They are legally at the timeframe to fall off the report and changing the dates of original closure is against the federal law. 

These actions of removal need to happen immediately, or I will be forced to litigate against each company participating in the FRAUD related to the accounts in question.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681 Section 602 ( a ), consumer reporting agencies must handle their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers privacy. Equifax and XXXX are such agencies, and as a consumer, I am entitled to ensure my private information remains confidential. This is further supported by 15 USC 6801, which mandates financial institutions to respect customer privacy and secure their nonpublic personal information. The entity providing information to credit agencies is a financial institution under this statute.

Furthermore, 15 USC 1681 Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) specifies that a consumer report can only be furnished according to the written instructions of the consumer. Equifax, XXXX, and the information provider do not have my written consent to share my information. I revoke any previous consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise. 

15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) prohibits financial institutions from disclosing nonpublic personal information to unaffiliated third parties unless the consumer is informed about how to opt out of such disclosures. The information provider never informed me of this right. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in reports if it dates back more than seven years, except for criminal convictions. This adverse account, reported without my permission, is illegal.

Under 15 USC 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ), no person should furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or suspect it is inaccurate. Moreover, 15 USC 1681e requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violating Section 1681c and to restrict the furnishing of consumer reports to authorized purposes. Equifax and XXXX are failing in this regard. 

Lastly, 12 CFR 1016.7 allows consumers to opt out at any time, and I am choosing to opt out of your reporting services.

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.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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. 

XXXX 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

It is shown accurately on XXXX reporting " included in bankruptcy ''. I will continue to fight this until the XXXX credit bureaus show it accurately as " included in bankruptcy '' as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is being deceptive and lying in that they have a separate payment arrangement made with my ex husband, that has nothing to do with me as surrendered the vehicle in XXXX. This is wrong, and it is damaging to my credit reporting preventing me from being able to obtain financing on a new home. As a single hard working mom, I will always fight for what is right to defend my home, my son and our livelihood.
