Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I am writing to file a complaint regarding specific negative items reported on my consumer credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified inaccuracies in the reporting of these negative items, which have adversely impacted my financial standing. 

Despite numerous attempts to address these inaccuracies with the reporting agencies, the negative items remain unchanged, affecting my ability to secure credit and loans. I believe these inaccuracies stem from erroneous reporting or misunderstanding of my financial history.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Repossession — Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle
Company: Westlake Services, LLC (OH)

On XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXXXXXX XXXX, Westlake Financial contracted a tow truck company to enter my private property in an attempt to repossess my vehicle. This action was captured on camera, providing clear evidence of this illegal entry. I have had a cease and desist order in place since XX/XX/XXXX, explicitly outlining federal laws under **15 U.S.C . 1692f**, which prohibits unfair practices, and specifically prohibiting any third-party attempts to repossess my vehicle. 

Westlake Financial has blatantly violated this cease and desist order by initiating this repossession attempt. Additionally, despite my clear and repeated requests, Westlake Financial has refused to engage in arbitration, dismissing my claims as frivolous. I have provided an updated cease and desist notice via email and sent certified mail, which is expected to arrive at your office by XX/XX/XXXX. This demonstrates my continued good faith effort to resolve this matter through legal and appropriate channels. 

I am a single mother of XXXX children and have been dealing with this ongoing case for XXXX years. This illegal attempt to repossess my vehicle has caused me significant distress and fear for my safety, as I believe Westlake Financial is unlawfully stalking my vehicle. 

- **Cease and Desist Violation** : By disregarding the cease and desist order, Westlake Financial has violated my rights, as protected under federal law. 

I demand that Westlake Financial immediately cease all unlawful activities, including any further attempts to repossess my vehicle, and comply with all legal requirements, including the proper handling of arbitration. 

In light of this situation, I will be filing a Temporary Restraining Order ( TRO ) against Westlake Financial to prevent any further illegal attempts to repossess my vehicle. Furthermore, I have taken all necessary steps to protect my legal rights, including submitting a 1099-A, 1099-C, UCC1, W-9, and 1040 to the IRS. Westlake Financial has yet to acknowledge or validate these submissions, further evidencing their disregard for legal procedures. 

Notably, Westlake Financial closed my car note account without issuing a 1099-C, in violation of federal law. My recent filing with XXXX, for which I have paid all required fees, underscores my commitment to resolving this matter legally, despite Westlake Financials continued attempts to circumvent the legal process. 

In addition to violating the cease and desist order, Westlake Financial has potentially committed illegal possession under **15 U.S.C. 1692f ( 6 ) **, which prohibits taking or threatening to take any nonjudicial action to effect dispossession or disablement of property if there is no present right to possession of the property claimed as collateral through an enforceable security interest.

On XX/XX/23, I sent a letter addressing inaccuracies and unknown entries on my credit report. Despite more than 60 days passing since then, I have not received a response. I believe I am being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), it is clearly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days provides grounds for their immediate removal from my credit report. Since it has been over 60 days, they should be promptly deleted. I insist that these accounts be removed immediately, or I will pursue legal action due to the distress caused by this situation. Furthermore, my personal information was impacted by the XXXX data breach, raising concerns that it may have fallen into the wrong hands.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NJ)

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.

My account with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXXXXXX 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. 


XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX 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
