They called me and told me they would turn it over to XXXX XXXX Attorneys Office to collect monies owed through courts. the check amounts were {$110.00} and XXXX. SO I get the money and delivered it to them paid in full. Much to my surprise in XX/XX/XXXX Vance and Huffman LLC placed these on my credit report. I called them and told them they were paid. They said they didnt care that I owed the money. Quite rude. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and they said they had no record i owed them any money. I called the collection again but they demanded I pay on a debt that had been paid in full years before. I dont have the receipt of payment because I changed banks and moved a few times. Covid happened shortly thereafter. This has caused great harm and undue stress. My attorney advised me to file a police report against Vance and Huffman. I want this removed from my credit immediately as its caused me great harm.

This matter is causing significant concern, as my credit history is being unjustly damaged by information that is neither accurate nor reflective of my true financial activities.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax 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 Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX5 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 : Inconsistent Payment History Reporting : The payment history for this account is reported inconsistently across the three major credit bureaus. For instance, XXXX, Equifax and XXXX show 30 and 60-day late payments for the same time period. 

On-Time Payments : I have attached bank statements and payment confirmations showing that all payments were made on time. The evidence provided contradicts the late payment information currently reported by the credit bureaus. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax 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 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.
