Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MD)

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint concerning inquiries on my credit report that I neither recognized nor consented to. These unauthorized inquiries are not only concerning but also damaging to my financial reputation. It has come to my attention that certain inquiries have been made on my credit report without my consent or knowledge. I want to emphasize that I have no association with these inquiries and have never authorized any entity to access my credit information in this manner.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

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.

I asked Equifax on four occasions to validate this information with these companies and provide me with copies of any documentation associated with these accounts bearing my signature, authorizing an inquiry.

I advised that they have 30 days to produce the requested contract and to complete this investigation, as per the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 611.

Equifax did not complete an investigation, nor had communications of results or said investigations.

My account with 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 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 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!

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

XX/XX/year> I called XXXX XXXX about my XXXX XXXX XXXX  business account to make a payment arrangement the manager approved my payment arrangement so after the manager approved it I had to call back because the company I work for was sending my check late so the representative that I spoke with in XXXX after talking to the manager I explained to him the manager had approved the payment arrangement but I was calling back because my check wouldn't be in by the date the payment arrangement was made so I asked him if it was okay to send it in the next week he said let me take a look and see he came back to the phone and said yes it's okay to pay the next week. Remind you the payment was submitted in the same month and was not 30 days past due and XXXX  XXXX is making false late payment to my credit report and I have never been late since I have had a credit card with the company but to make a false report to the credit bureaus is wrong because it's making it seems like I can't pay my bill on time.

( I ca n't be worried about losing the house when NationStar forced me out.All I want is my money back so that I can move forward and have a safe roof over my child and I heads. ) I found out XXXX years later, that my original lender was a predatory lender. My original lender back in year XX/XX/XXXX was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX was in the process of modifying my loan ( so they say ). Next thing I know is I received papers in the mail saying that XXXX XXXX XXXX would pick up were XXXX XXXX was in modifying my loan. Then it was an on going cycle with XXXX XXXX XXXX til XXXX day I received another letter from Nationstar Mortgage. In my opinion, Nationstar was very rude and unprofessional. They say that they were going to modify the loan. But I caught them in plenty of lies. Nationstar does not communicate well with there staff. I have all of the documents and conversations written down concerning this entire matter all the way to XX/XX/XXXX, when I surrendered my keys to Nationstar for the cash for keys program. As you can see, at this point I got tired of their lies and foolishness. I hope to hear from you seen.
