I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

I've attached a copy of my report to this complaint on the following dates ( XX/XX/year> ). I am not requesting you to investigate this account, and update these payments to paid on time immediately with Equifax and XXXX, or to be removed all together. Thank you for your understanding.

My account with XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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 that are reported 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. 


XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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!

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — 
Company: TMX Finance LLC (GA)

I got a title loan in Georgia then I XXXX XXXX XXXX because of covid and job loss, I continue making payments to TitleMax in Georgia even when I really wasn't supposed to because I did not live in that state. Every time I make a payment to Title Max it states I need to be in that state to make that payment. It's easier to make monthly payments than it is to pay off the loan because of the predatory style loan that's set up for people who are in desperate need. Last time I made a payment to TitleMax was on XX/XX/XXXX of 2021 for {$800.00} that next month on XXXX they repossessed my car, my child car seat was in that car and they took it about 2 hours away from where I lived at the time in virginia. Ive been very transparent to the store manager in Georgia I believe his name was XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Georgia. I was not able to get the car the same day it took a few days before I was able to come up with enough money to pay off my loan, I had to ask friends and family and a lot of people for help. This loan that was set up was easier to make monthly payments and the loan will renew itself if you continue to make monthly payments the monthly payments are easier to pay than it is to pay off the loan. TitleMax knows this is the predatory style loan they know they were praying on Desperate people and it wasn't right for what they done I was very transparent to everyone at TitleMax involved yet they still repossessed my car and made me suffer and have loss of income. 
I asked TitleMax the show proof of monthly payments I made to prove that I overpaid my loan, I would like TitleMax to fix this and reimburse me at least for something because of all the problems I have had with them and because of all the fake reviews at the store. I was required to put a five-star review after I receive my loan from the store manager. I go on XXXX reviews and everyone has put in five stars there's a reason for that. it's not because TitleMax has a good business model it's because they're required to by the store manager, the reviews are not real.
