Company: CNG HOLDINGS INC (SD)

On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a complaint with the CFPB against Tempoe LLC XXXX XXXXXXXX for deceptive practices and converting a purchase agreement into a lease arrangement after the product was paid in full ( CFPB Complaint ID XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX the CFPB ordered Tempoe LLC to pay {$36.00} XXXX in penalties and provide relief for tricking consumer and hiding contract terms ( CFPB choice of words from their press release heading ). Docket number XXXX. Tempoe consented to this order. In XXXX of XXXX, Tempoe sold the alleged debt to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. With the assistance of the CFPB I was able to get them to delete the tradeline from my credit reports and received a commitment from them to never resell the debt. ( CFPB Complaint ID XXXX ). However, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX purchased this debt and refuses to acknowledge the terms of the consent order and all previous CFPB actions. This tradeline remains on my credit file and is resulting in a significant rate bump on my mortgage application due to it lowering my credit score. Over the course of the mortgage term, this rate bump is equal to {$86000.00}.

I trust this correspondence finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a troubling discrepancy within my credit report concerning late payment associated with my account. Upon meticulous review of my report, I have identified instances where late payment have been inaccurately recorded, adversely affecting my credit standing. Upon contacting the bank linked to this account, they acknowledged a fault on their part. They have committed to rectifying the error by updating and amending my account to accurately reflect my payment history. They attributed these inaccuracies to a system glitch that led to the erroneous reporting of late payment. It is perplexing to me that while other credit bureaus have already rectified the status of this account, your bureau continues to report this late payment. This disparity in reporting raises doubts regarding the verification protocols employed by your bureau to ensure the precision of reported information.

" 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed inquiries I didn't consent to and personal information I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I never consented to these inquiries and did not provide written consent to report them List all inquiries : Here is the personal information that I never consented to or provided written consent to report : List all personal information want deleted :. 
Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that I authorized or consented to these inquiries or personal information and proof that I authorized the reporting of this information. If proof can not be provided I demand these inquiries and personal information be deleted. 
Adjust accordingly if there is no inquiries or personal information to be deleted "

Recently, I discovered that I am a victim of identity theft, there are fraudulent accounts I did not open on my credit report. This has caused me significant distress and hardship. These fraudulent accounts are hurting me deeply, preventing me from improving my quality of life for myself and my family. As a first-generation XXXX born to immigrant parents who came here seeking a better life, this situation is devastating. It feels as though the credit bureaus and creditors are not taking my plight seriously, possibly due to the commonality of XXXX names, which smacks of discriminatory practices contrary to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the list of accounts below has violated my federally protected rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681, 15 U.S.C. 1681i sections 611, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 sections 623, 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A, and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ). Please delete the fraudulent accounts immediately. I believe these fraudulent activities are a direct result of the XXXX data breach which led to Experian having inaccurate accounts on my report. Despite being affected by this breach. This failure to notify me has left me vulnerable and unprepared to address the fraudulent activities in a timely manner.

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 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.

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 XX/XX/year> 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

I received a letter dated XX/XX/year> from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that in pursuant to the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX settlement my federal student loans will be discharged. I have contact Mohela my student loan servicer on several occasion in regards to my account and provided Mohela with a copy of the discharged letter. Mohela has stated that my account is approved for discharged under the borrowers defense against repayments, however my account is still reflecting a balance. And when ever I contact them in regards to this balance they would not provide me the details I am requesting. Mohela refer me to other agencies such as XXXX who in turn tells me that they have limited access to my account, I will have to contact Mohela who owns my accounts. When I try to contact Mohela via telephone I unable to reach anyone and when I contact them via email they do not provide me with all the details of my account and refer me. I would like to know the details of my account that is still reflecting administrative forbearance incurring interest, why is my account reflecting a balance when I was approved for the student loan forgiveness. 
Once I make contact a day later my account will reflect a XXXX balance then after a few days/weeks it will reflect a balance again, interest and a payment amount. This is very frustrating going back and forth without being unable to speak with someone in order to get the complete details regarding my account from Mohela.
