To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as an official and urgent demand for immediate correction of the blatant inaccuracies in my consumer credit report, which I lawfully obtained under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Your continued incompetence and failure to abide by the explicit legal standards outlined in the FCRA is not only unacceptable but also a direct violation of my rights as a consumer. The FCRA mandates, in no uncertain terms, that all information within a consumer credit report must be 100 % accurate, verifiable, complete, and timely. I will not tolerate anything less than full adherence to these legal obligations99.9 % accuracy or verification is not acceptable. I expect immediate proof that the information you have reported is in full compliance with federal law. Anything short of absolute accuracy and legality will result in further escalation, without hesitation. Listed below are the specific tradelines that are erroneous and defamatory. I expect not just a review, but an immediate correction of these items. Your failure to do so is a reckless disregard of your legal responsibilities and will not be taken lightly.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Possible Financial Inc (TX)

I am writing to dispute the accuracy of a charge-off listed on my credit report under the account # XXXX I have received a 1099-C form for this account, indicating that the debt was canceled. According to the Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) 6050P, a 1099-C form is issued when a creditor cancels a debt of {$600.00} or more. This means the debt has been legally forgiven and should no longer be reported as a charge-off.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ), I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. As the debt has been canceled and a 1099-C form has been issued, the reporting of this charge-off is both inaccurate and misleading.

I request that you conduct a reinvestigation of this matter under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and remove the charge-off from my credit report. If the information can not be verified, it must be deleted from my credit file according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

Please provide me with written confirmation that this item has been corrected and removed. If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this information, it must be deleted from my credit report as required by law.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA)

On XX/XX/year>, I initiated a transfer with my Chase account and my credit union, XXXX. Since the account was new, Chase asked me to verify the validity of the account via trial deposits. On XX/XX/XXXX, I logged into my POLAM account, along with my Chase account, and verified the two trial deposits : one for {$.00} and the other for {$.00}, totaling {$.00}. After verifying the deposits, the bank permitted me to remit funds to the external account. I inputted a transfer amount of {$2000.00} and initiated the transaction. 

However, the following day, I received an email from Chase that I had a secure message. The message indicated that the transfer was cancelled with no context behind the cancellation. I contacted Chase via telephone on XXXX the XXXX at XXXX pm XXXX. After speaking with the first representative, I stated that it was unfair for the bank to take me through the verification process, obtain the details of my external account, only to present the idea that it was going to send funds to my external account but to just deny the transfer. I requested my concern be escalated to management. The supervisor then spoke to me and asked me what the details of the external account were ( routing and account number ). I told him that those details were already provided when I established the external account on my profile. He stated that when Chase determined that the information " could not be verified, '' they deleted the entire account, along with all details. I was shocked as to why the bank would not only take me through the process of external account verification but would then strip all evidence of the external account to where even internal staff were not able to source it. 

I am asking the XXXX to conduct a review of this transaction under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. I am unsure what the bank has done with the external details regarding my account, along with why the bank would take a customer along a process of account verification and permit me to initiate a funds transfer, only to deny the transfer the following day and prevent me from transferring my funds to my desired account. From my perspective, the bank improperly performed an act of coercion and held my funds when no external factors could evidence why the funds could not be remitted. Lastly, the bank is required, per regulation, to maintain documentation of account transfer up to the statutory timeframe. Where has the bank stored this data?

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

My account with Equifax 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. 


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.

Equifax 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
