-- - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2024 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Washington, DC XXXX Subject : Request for Investigation of Consumer Rights Violations Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally request your assistance regarding a serious violation of my consumer rights related to inaccurate information on my credit reports maintained by XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. I have contacted the credit bureaus multiple time and nothing was never done expect saying that my file was accurate and that is false. There was also an occasion where my birth year was incorrect. 

I have previously submitted letters to the credit bureaus disputing various items that I believe are inconsistent, erroneous, and some of which have been on my credit reports for over seven years. Despite my efforts, including sending multiple letters outlining my concerns, I have not received any satisfactory resolution, nor have I been contacted by the credit bureaus to fully investigate these matters.

The specific issues I am encountering include : 1. **Inaccurate Amounts** : The reported amounts for several accounts do not align with my records.

2. **Outdated Information** : Some items on my credit report are over seven years old and should have been removed per the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

3. **Lack of Investigation** : I was never contacted by the credit bureaus for further information, which I believe indicates a failure to conduct a thorough investigation as required by law.

Given these ongoing issues, I am requesting that the CFPB take action to ensure that XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX investigate my claims fully and delete any information that is inaccurate, outdated, or a violation of my rights under consumer protection laws. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your support in ensuring that my consumer rights are upheld.

I have asked for all the creditors that has falsely reported information on my credit file to validate debts by providing proof of this alleged item, specifically the original application, contract, note, other instrument bearing my signature and payment history. Please provide this information within 15 days. This agency is in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692g. They were to notify me of this in writing 5 days prior, I was not. As the original creditor, only I can validate this debt. I do not validate this debt. Therefore, the following accounts must be deleted from my report. Failure to respond satisfactorily with deletion of the above referenced account and a free copy of my report after the changes have been made will result in the above actions being taken against your company. 

Debt buyer are not a creditor therefore on my report where it shows collection agency as creditor it's inaccurate reporting and violation under FDCPA definitions of creditor. This is inaccurate and needs to be deleted immediately as its a violation. Please view the below definitions, 12 CFR Part 1006 - Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( Regulation G ) 1006.2 ( g ) Definitions. 
( g ) Creditor means any person who offers or extends credit creating a debt or to whom a debt is owed. The term creditor does not, however, include any person to the extent that such person receives an assignment or transfer of a debt in default solely to facilitate collection of the debt for another.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  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 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 to be removed/updated.

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.

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!

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
