Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

My account with XXXX  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 in XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year> 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 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!

This disputes are due to the violations that Experian is reporting inaccurates informations on my credit report. This is violations 15 USC 1681d defamation of character and you are now in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1611 Criminal liability for willful and knowing violation that you are reporting incorrect information.

The reporting of the late payments are also not accurate!!!

these should not have been reported in the first place!!!! THIS IS ILLEGAL This is an inaccurate direct violation 15 USC 1666b, Remove late payments Asap By the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I demand that these items be removed from my report. It is my understanding that you will get the creditors to abide by my demands per Us law or be prepared to face some legal consequences! 


I tried to talk to the creditors and they turned me down. They hung up on me. 
They did not help my situation!! 

Now im demanding that these things be removed or prepare for {$1000.00} fines to be dished out!

-This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties and I did not participate in any of it. More so they didn't follow the proper 5 step validation procedure which make this unfair practices. According to the FDCPA I'm entitled to XXXX dollars per violation and clearly they violated my rights.

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

The debt collector has repeatedly " refused '' to comply with governing law and has ignored all my previous letters to them. So I am engaging the CFPB in the process so that it can closely monitor whether or not the debt collector complies with the law this time or continues to refuse to comply by ignoring my request fro information I have a lawful right to request. The CFPB must do 2 things in my case : 1 ) compel the debt collector to produce the validating information - certifed mail receipt that it sent notice within the timeframe the law requires, and 2 ) be expedient this time. The debt collector eith has the information I'm requesting as valid proof, or it does not. It only takes 24-48 hours for them to respond to my request, given its nature, not 60 days. The debt collector can not skirt the law this time and I urge the CFPB to pay close attention to the behavior of the debt collector and be prepared to sanction and penalize them, ans I as well will pursue legal action, as their nonsense has gone on too long. A refusal to ignore the law, and not comply is a very seroius matter.

I am writing to dispute and request the immediate removal of fraudulent inquiries from my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have discovered several inquiries that are not authorized by me. These inquiries are damaging my credit standing and have the potential to cause significant harm to my financial reputation. I have already submitted a report to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding these fraudulent inquiries and have enclosed a copy for your reference. Despite this, these inquiries are still being reported by your bureau. This is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I demand that these inquiries be removed immediately.

I recently discovered that my creditor failed to provide the required 21-day notice before the payment due date, along with the statement that outlines my balance and due amount. This notice period is critical because it ensures that I have adequate time to review my statement, arrange for payment, and avoid any late fees. 

Due to this oversight, I was not given sufficient time to make my payment on time. As a result, the creditor charged me late fees, and it now appears as though I did not pay my bill when, in fact, I was not given the opportunity to do so within the proper timeframe. This situation arose due to the creditor 's failure to follow the proper notification procedures, and it is their mistake that has caused this issue. 

I expect that, given this error, the creditor will rectify the situation by waiving any associated late fees and adjusting my payment record to reflect that this delay was due to their non-compliance with the 21-day notice requirement, not my negligence. 

PERSONAL INFORMATION : The wrong info in my credit reports makes it tough to get new credit. Errors confuse lenders and give a false idea of my creditworthiness. This hurts my financial reputation. I'm formally asking to correct and remove these mistakes from my reports. It's vital for lenders to see my true financial status for fair evaluations
