I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction.

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

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

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.

The balance of my escrow balance on XXXX is {$1700.00}. I made {$1000.00} on XX/XX/2022, and {$270.00} should be applied to escrow that results balance of {$2000.00}, and after {$2200.00} tax payment from escrow account, it would result a total balance- {$160.00} on XXXX ( Not - {$430.00} which shows on the statement for mistake ).
