Im writing you today about a grave issue. My privacy rights are being invaded. Per 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) you have full responsibility to exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Im exercising this right under the code. Please see the following information is handled with the utmost fairness, impartiality and respect for my right to privacy.

For the record, Im the one whos initiating the disputes under MY NAME. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. According to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) ( a ) Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

In your previous correspondence you mentioned that my identity theft report needed to be filed with a law enforcement agency which subjects to criminal prosecution. One of these agencies is the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). FYI the report I was filed online WITH THE FTC which by your representation IS A law enforcement agency. My FTC Report # is XXXX. I dont think you have reviewed the documents submitted & are sending me frivolous boiler plate responses to deflect from your responsibility to comply with FCRA laws. Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue.

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXXXX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX  XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Date of Payment Processing Error : The late payments were reported incorrectly due to a processing delay by XXXX XXXX that resulted in the payment being recorded late, even though the payment was initiated on time.

Inconsistent Reporting Across Bureaus : The payment dates and statuses reported by TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX are inconsistent, further indicating a discrepancy in the handling of my account information.

Evidence provided : Bank statements showing payment initiation dates. 
Payment confirmations from XXXX XXXX showing on-time payments. 
Correspondence with XXXX XXXX acknowledging the payment processing delay.

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the information being reported on my consumer report regarding an account with XXXX XXXX. Specifically, I am requesting verification of the original instrument of indebtedness associated with this account, as required under 12 U.S.C. 83, which states that no XXXX XXXX shall make a loan or discount on the security of the shares of its own XXXX XXXX.

Under 12 U.S.C. 83,
financial institutions are prohibited from securing loans or discounts using their own XXXX XXXX as collateral. Therefore, I am requesting the Consumer Reporting Agency to ask the financial institution to provide Proof of the Original Instrument of Indebtedness that supports the validity and accuracy of the debt being reported. 

REQUEST ACTION : I request that the Consumer Reporting Agency take the following steps to resolve this dispute : Verification of Debt : Please request the financial institution to provide valid and legally enforceable documentation, including the Original Instrument of Indebtedness, to confirm that the reported account was not issued in violation of 12 U.S.C. 83. 

Removal of Inaccurate Information : If the XXXX XXXX is unable to provide sufficient proof of the original debt instrument, I request the immediate removal of the account from my consumer report, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the information reported.

Provision of Supporting Documents : Additionally, I request copies of all supporting documentation used to verify the accuracy of the account information, including any loan agreements, contracts, or financial instruments that prove compliance with 12 U.S.C. 83. 

Compliance with FCRA : As you are aware, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires consumer reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information contained in consumer reports. Without proof of the original debt instrument, the reporting of this account is both inaccurate and incomplete, in violation of the FCRAs accuracy requirements. 

Please confirm receipt of this letter and provide me with a detailed response regarding the steps that will be taken to verify the disputed account information. I expect a prompt investigation and resolution in accordance with federal law.

My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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.

This company 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!
