This debt was paid in 2019. I have been disputing it ever since it appeared on my report and Experian and XXXX refuse to investigate. They just place a statement that it meets the FCRA without sending me proof that this debt is valid. I am a current XXXX XXXX customer and would not be allowed to continue services if the debt has not been paid.

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

My account with the company has always been in good standing, and I have never been late with a payment. I have a stellar payment history with XXXX XXXX, with all payments set up on Autopay. The reported late payment is due to a systematic error on their part in processing my payment.

This is a clear billing error by the company and does not reflect my actual payment history, which is a violation of USC Code 1681eb. This mistake has significantly harmed my reputation, character, lifestyle, and family.

I demand that the late payment reported in the specified months be removed.

The company is not in compliance with 15 USC 1666b, which outlines the requirements for treating a payment as late. They reported my payment as late without following the law.

According to 15 USC 1666b ( a ), a creditor can not consider a payment late if they have not adopted reasonable procedures to ensure that each periodic statement, including the information required by section 1637 ( b ), is sent to the consumer at least 21 days before the due date.

The company failed to send the periodic statement and the necessary disclosures as required by section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date in good faith pursuant to rule 1002, but this proof was never provided.

This situation is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and unjust to me as a consumer.

Please remove the late payments from my consumer reports.

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.
