Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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.

( 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 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

I am writing to express my utter frustration and disbelief at the abhorrent level of service I have received from Equifax in regard to a disputed inquiry on my credit report. Since XXXX, I have tirelessly and diligently attempted to rectify this matter, only to be met with sheer obstinacy and an unwarranted refusal to correct a glaring error on my report. It is nothing short of infuriating that Equifax, a company entrusted with such sensitive financial information, has displayed such blatant disregard for the wellbeing and integrity of its customers. This relentless stonewalling is not only unprofessional, but it undermines the very purpose of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and its mission to safeguard consumer interests. It is high time that Equifax be held accountable for its disgraceful conduct. The intransigence displayed thus far is nothing short of a gross injustice, and I implore the CFPB to take swift and decisive action to rectify this egregious situation. Your immediate attention to this matter is not only warranted, but demanded, as I refuse to accept anything less than a fair and just resolution to this issue.

After reading through they outrageous annual and monthly fees I declined the off and did not submit an application. The next day XXXXASPIRE showed up on my credit report as a hard inquiry. I am trying to rebuild my credit score and even a small hard inquiry is a big deal to me. Especially since it was a pre approved offer and an offer I declined to take.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: BMW Financial Services NA, LLC (NJ)

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute recent fraudulent activity associated with my credit report. XXXX XXXX XXXX and BMW FINANCIAL is reporting to the credit bureaus I have an account with them and. I do not or ever have. I have reason to believe that fraudulent verification of debt has occurred without any contractual basis or sufficient evidence. 
Upon reviewing the documentation AND the information from representatives of both parties, it has become apparent that the verification process was not conducted properly & solely through audio recordings, with no accompanying contract or agreement. This raises significant concerns regarding the legitimacy and legality of the verification process. 
As a responsible customer, I have always maintained clear and transparent communication regarding my financial obligations. However, the absence of a formal contract or agreement undermines the integrity of this process and casts doubt on the validity of the verification. 
Furthermore, relying solely on things like audio recordings for debt verification lacks transparency and fails to provide adequate evidence to support the process. Without a written agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the debt verification ( WHICH CAN ALSO BE FABRICATED ), I can not accept the validity of this process. 
I kindly request that both XXXX XXXX XXXX and BMW FINANCIAL ( XXXX ) BE REMOVED OR provide me with the following information to address this matter : A copy of the original contract FROM THE DEALERSHIP THIS LOAN WAS ESTABLISHED FROM. 
Any documentation supporting the use of audio recordings as a valid method of debt verification. 
Clarification on how the verification process was conducted and how it complies with relevant regulations and legal standards.

Equifax has the wrong SSN associated with my name and it is mixing with another person showing their information. I informed them of this and sent all the necessary information via mail months ago. They claimed they never received the information so I sent it again priority mail so I know it was delivered. They still have not corrected the problem. When I call their service center just tells me they havent received it yet. This is preventing me from closing on a house with a mortgage.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding their handling of a disputed auto loan account reported on my credit file by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite my repeated attempts to dispute this account, it continues to be verified by Experian without a proper investigation. 

I have provided substantial evidence directly to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which clearly demonstrates the inaccuracies in their reporting. However, XXXX has failed to take the appropriate action to delete the erroneous information. Moreover, it has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has recently been involved in violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to correct inaccurate information provided to credit reporting agencies. 

Experian has solely relied on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 's inaccurate and incomplete information, disregarding the documentation I have provided directly from the furnisher. This demonstrates that Experian has not conducted a proper investigation as required by law. 

The specific violations in this case include : Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation : Under FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute from a consumer. Experian has failed to fulfill this obligation by relying solely on XXXX 's inaccurate reporting and ignoring the evidence I provided. 

Failure to Correct Inaccurate Information : Under FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ), furnishers of information are required to correct and update information that they determine to be incomplete or inaccurate. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to comply with this requirement, and Experian has not taken the necessary steps to ensure the accuracy of my credit report. 

Negligent and Willful Noncompliance : Under FCRA Sections 616 and 617, both furnishers and credit reporting agencies can be held liable for negligent or willful noncompliance with the Act. The failure of Experian to properly investigate and correct the inaccuracies in my credit report constitutes noncompliance with the FCRA. 

I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene in this matter and ensure that Experian conducts a thorough and proper investigation into my dispute. I request that the erroneous auto loan account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX be deleted from my credit report immediately. 

If this matter is not resolved promptly and satisfactorily, I will pursue arbitration for the violations mentioned above. Your prompt attention and assistance in this matter are greatly appreciated.
