I regularly check my credit report, and more so when I have been denied or granted credit. I noticed several new inquiries on my report. Because they assertedly do not " dispute '' inquiries on consumer behalf, I was directed by the Credit Reporting Agencies to contact each company directly to dispute the inquiries and request deletion. I sent a letter of dispute and demand to delete the inquiry to Nicholas Financial , Inc. using the address for them that appears on my credit report.

I noticed a late payment on my credit report that was 30 days late, which I never intended to escalate to that point. I have been unemployed for quite some time, homeless without a car, a place to live, or food to eat, and I have asked for help in every way I could without success. I explained in the late payment letter that if this Goodwill Courtesy is not granted, I will be unable to obtain a place, a job, or a car, and I am familiar with credit reporting because I previously worked in the industry. However, I have never paid late, and my income has been below the poverty level of the State of Florida, only receive income under the table until I can receive stable employment and I've been on my own since I was XXXX, and I have been in and out of several group homes. I was evicted from my home and had my car repossessed due to a lack of income. I request that this late payment be removed from the attached credit report as well as from the other two ( if it has not already been reported ). I have not had steady employment since XX/XX/year>, and I've been looking for work. My only source of income is food stamps, which barely cover my basic needs. I have been denied unemployment benefits, no help from anyone, and all of the resources I contacted require me to be employed.

I have been requesting for some time now to have the false and inaccurate information on my credit report to be corrected and removed, but I have been consistently ignored. I know I have rights as a consumer and it is blatantly being violated, this is really insulting and hurting my feelings badly. My life and credit score has been impacted negatively because of these errors being reported on my credit report.

" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. XXXX XXXX is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out.

Dear Equifax Dispute Resolution Team, I hope this letter finds you well. 

Upon recently obtaining a copy of my credit report, I identified multiple discrepancies that require your immediate attention. These discrepancies include unauthorized inquiries and conflicting information across different credit bureaus. Specifically, the discrepancies pertain to differing account numbers, dates of last activity, last payment dates, balances, account statuses, and original balances. The accounts in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> In accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), which mandates the implementation of reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum accuracy of the information contained in an individual 's report, I request that you provide complete documentation related to these accounts. This documentation should include : The original contract bearing my wet signature. 
Full transaction history from the date of account opening to the present or closure. 
Any other documentation used to verify the accuracy of the accounts. 
Additionally, as stipulated under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), in the event that any information disputed by a consumer is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable after a reinvestigation, the consumer reporting agency is obligated to promptly delete or modify the erroneous information and notify the furnisher of such action. 

I trust that you will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. Should you be unable to provide verifiable proof within 15 business days following your investigation, I expect the disputed accounts and/or information to be expeditiously removed. 

Enclosed, please find copies of my identification and a utility bill to verify my identity and address. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response.
