I notified both XXXX and Experian of an account that arose from identity theft. I sent an affidavit via US mail certified. I included all documents that are required to report identity theft to consumer reporting agencies, including identification along side, Social Security card, which is needed to legalize an affidavit document. In response, neither consumer reporting agency followed, correct protocol outlined in the federal credit reporting act by blocking such information within four business days yet both companies have sent me a response, one electronically and one via mail stating they dont believe the documents sent In were made by me. Well thats impossible? The documents were notarized. This is blatantly knowingly and willfully, stalling my request and to continue to report this record that stemmed from identity theft. Most likely their response stems from the fact I identified the companies who committed identity theft against me, which is XXXX XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. XXXX has since deleted such account. I have attached many documents associated that have been sent out in regards to the complaint.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history withXXXX 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 my account 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

RE : Bankruptcy Dear XXXX, After reviewing my credit report I noticed that there is a U. S. Bankruptcy Court items listed on my credit reports. 
Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. 
The original creditor in this case would be the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts.

The bankruptcy courts mailed me a letter stating that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. XXXX has provided documentation that it could not validate this public record information. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. 

Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. 
Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. You, XXXX, ARE BREAKING THE LAW AND ARE COMMITING FRAUD AS YOU NEVER validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report which is a violation of violation of 15 USC 1681a ( e ). 
An investigative consumer report is when any portion of which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 

You are also violating 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) considering you do NOT have my consent to furnish any information. 
Per 15 USC 1681c ( a ) Bankruptcy information is Excluded from the consumer 's report. 

You, CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY and your fraudulent activity and continuous violations are causing me great injury as you are preventing me from receiving credit to support and sustain my family.

These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.

I have been calling to get my account and credit updated at XXXX XXXX XXXX. My account had been in forbearance, but I have been trying to get it removed since early XXXX. First, I was told it would automatically end and I could not end it early. Then, after weeks of calling because the forbearance was still showing, I was told that it would not end unless I paid the back due amount. So I paid the back due amount, and my account still has not been removed from forbearance and my credit report has not been updated. Every time I call I am told something different and it never matches up. I have dealt with many banks for many reasons and this is by far the worst one I have ever been forced to deal with.
