Your failure to properly verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681, unverified accounts must be promptly deleted. If you are unable to provide me with a copy of the verifiable proof that you have on file within 30 days for each of the accounts listed below, then you must remove these accounts from my credit report.

I called you three times on the number provided.

Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: CLGF Holdco 1, LLC (MI)

Concora Credit, which recently acquired XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX recently sent me XXXX letters, XXXX for each of my respective cards. Both letters are relatively the same in its verbiage, but in differing amounts. These letters notified that not only is Concora going to increase the interest rates of XXXX of my cards to XXXX XXXX  but both of my cards are now subject to monthly maintenance fees. The Indigo card will be reviving a fee of XXXX  XXXX, whereas the XXXX XXXX  will be receiving a fee of $ XXXX. These letters also state that I have the right to reject these changes. However, it also states that should I choose to do so, my account will subsequently be closed, and Ill need to pay the account in full. It should be noted that these cards already had hefty annual fees in place upon signing up for them. 
The second provision states that by choosing to continue keeping these accounts active, I am subject to these changes no matter what occurs with my account, including transferring the balance and closing it. Along with this, by essentially taking no action, I wont be able to participate in a class action lawsuit, nor have any legal bearing to file an individual claim against Concora under any circumstance, including the validity of these changes, and breach of contract. 
This is predatory in nature. This company knows that the vast majority of its card holders have a lower credit score, and probably dont have the means to file a lawsuit if they wanted to. Furthermore, if this isnt a textbook example of breach of contract, Im not sure what is. I am an existing customer who agreed to certain and specific terms upon application. To change these terms with no recourse other than to cause immediate damage to my credit score is far from ethical and surely can not be legal.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding a derogatory rating on my account. This negative mark is significantly impacting my credit, having already led to a loan application denial and increased interest rates on my existing credit accounts. The financial and emotional strain this is causing me is severe and ongoing. 

I formally request that you take immediate action to remove and block the negative entries reported about me to the three major consumer reporting agencies, in accordance with legal requirements. I expect this to be completed within the timeframe stipulated by law.

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

My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 XXXX AND XXXX 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
