I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. These accounts were taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, these accounts shouldn't be in my report. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

Hi there, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing regarding a wrongful charge on my credit card by a merchant, which resulted in my only late payment on my credit report. 

In XX/XX/year>, I attempted to cancel my subscription with the company XXXX. I clearly remember clicking the " Cancel Subscription '' button. However, instead of canceling, XXXX adjusted the frequency of my shipments to once every XXXX months. Since I was using this card solely for this service, I stopped checking it after canceling the subscription, as there were no charges. Unexpectedly, after XXXX months, XXXX charged me for their products, resulting in a late payment. 

This is the first blemish on my previously perfect credit history. 

I have been trying to resolve this issue with XXXX, but they refuse to help and insist that a chargeback can only be initiated by the financial institution. I have spoken to several XXXX representatives, but they can not assist since the charge dates back to XXXX  They are not the only ones that can request a chargeback, because XXXX is telling me that they can not do a chargeback on themselves. Essentially XXXX is blocking me from filing a dispute. 

Please help me rectify this situation. I am trying to buy a home and do not want to incur thousands more in interest due to this small blemish on my history. I aim to remove this late payment and qualify for the best rates possible. 

Thank you for your assistance.

My account with XXXX XXXXwas never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 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

Due to XXXX XXXX simultaneously reporting the referenced account and debt and not deleting it altogether, has resulted in adverse action with the mortgage lender that I am working with, and has stopped the lending process, which can prevent me from getting the home. The erroneous reporting will also result in the lender having to run my credit again, outside of the mortgage inquiry period ( if this is not resolved ). Ultimately, adding more inquiries and lowering my credit score. 
The amount being reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX  is {$810.00}.
