I am writing to express serious concerns about issues I have encountered with the credit bureau.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

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. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

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 sent a letter regarding the errors and unfamiliar entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't heard back in over 30 days. It seems like my concerns are being overlooked, and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Upstart Holdings, Inc. (MI)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off listed as : XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper. I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

My account with EQUIFAX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 my 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 REPORTING 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.

EQUIFAX 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 XXXX 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
