Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MO)

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 am writing to formally dispute the presence of unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and inquiries on my credit report, which I received on [ Date of Credit Report ]. After a careful review, I have identified multiple accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. These entries appear to have been added to my credit report in error or as a result of fraudulent activity.The inclusion of these erroneous items has unfairly impacted my credit score and overall financial standing. 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.

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 couldn't believe it when I saw incorrect accounts on my credit report tonight. I've been regularly checking my report, but this time, there were unexpected discrepancies. I even refreshed my browser hoping it was just a glitch, but nothing changed. The inaccurate accounts were still there. This is really concerning, and Im asking that the documents I submitted be carefully reviewed so I can stop worrying about this happening again.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that this account is late though your company claims to have verified this. 

Depending solely on your flawed XXXX system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the XXXXr system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 those 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 XXXX  days before the payment due date.

( CREDITOR NAME ) Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  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

Company: Credit Karma (OR)

I have been attempting to reach out to Credit Karma about disputes needing to be filed on my XXXX XXXX 
I first reached out to Credit Karma on XX/XX/XXXX to attempt to speak with customer service after their live chat agents kept directing me to the email address. 
The problem, in short form, is this : There are 20+ fraudulent, unauthorized transactions on my debit card/checking account that occurred as a result of a lost/stolen debit card. I filed a dispute successfully for ONE charge in the app, but after doing so, the app would not allow me to file additional disputes, and kept directing me to the live chat if I needed to file more. 
Live chat agents are USELESS, and kept telling me it had to be done in the app through the process I used for the first - but again, it won't allow this, and still won't 11 days later. 
I made it very clear to Credit Karma agents that I can not call them on the phone- I am in the process of having pretty XXXX XXXX XXXX, and as a result, my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and will be for months. I clearly, for obvious reasons, can not wait MONTHS to dispute these transactions and get the hundreds of dollars that was stolen from me back - nor can I wait that long to dispute transactions due to banking policy reasons, of course. 
I asked if there was a way for me to file the disputes besides the app feature, since it is clearly not working. 
I was told they can not file them over chat, and was given the email. 
In numerous emails Credit Karma claims they also can't file the disputes over email - which makes NO SENSE, I clearly outlined the dates, amounts, and vendor names of each transaction that needs disputing, just put the disputes in, it isn't rocket science! 
I was told the only way to do it is over the phone, which is not physically possible for me, I literally CAN'T verbally talk due to my XXXX. 
They claim to not have a mailing address to send forms/documents to file the disputes either. 
It makes no sense to me that in XXXX they don't have a single way to file disputes against fraudulent transactions aside from a terrible broken app function that won't work and directs me to - you guessed it, dispute over live chat! Which they are pretending they can't do! - or over the phone. 
This is extremely bad practice and I expect this company to do their job and allow me to submit these disputes and regain my stolen money.
