My accounts 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 to be removed/updated.

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.

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!

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''

XXXX XXXX XXXX c/o XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  [ XXXX ] XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Formal Complaint and Cease and Desist Order Against XXXX, XXXX Credit XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau , I am writing to file a formal complaint and issue a cease-and-desist order against XXXX for multiple violations of federal laws and regulations, as well as against Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX for their roles in reporting inaccurate and unauthorized information. 

The crux of the inaccuracy in Nordstroms reporting lies in their knowledge that the debt in question was discharged. Despite this knowledge, XXXX continued to furnish information related to my account to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX, which is a clear violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 

Furthermore, XXXX unlawfully attempted to collect on a discharged debt, which is considered a certificate of indebtedness by the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ). According to IRS regulations, such discharged debt can not be reported as income. XXXX has failed to provide me with a XXXX for the cancelled debt as required by law. This failure to comply with IRS reporting requirements and the misreporting of my account as a debt rather than a certificate of indebtedness are clear violations of federal statutes. 

In addition to these violations, XXXX has breached its own terms and conditions by sharing my information with non-affiliates, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, without my explicit consent. This action disregards my right to privacy as a federally protected consumer under the Privacy Act of 1974. 

Moreover, XXXX failed to inform me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 6802 ( b ) ( c ). This failure, coupled with the unauthorized inclusion of adverse information in my consumer report by Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX, further demonstrates the systemic disregard for consumer rights and legal obligations. 

I hereby demand that XXXX immediately delete the account related to me from their records and cease all further reporting to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. This cease-and-desist order is issued in accordance with federal laws and regulations governing consumer rights and privacy. 

I also request a thorough investigation into the actions of XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX regarding their handling of my account information and the inaccurate reporting of my financial status. This letter serves as my final attempt to resolve this matter amicably before pursuing further legal action, including filing complaints with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

XXXX was a middle man for {$260.00} I accidentally took from my own account to deposit in my account. XXXX was used as XXXX or XXXX. 
I wanted to borrow {$260.00} credit from XXXX to deposit in my XXXX checking account. 
Unfortunately I did not realize I had it set up for XXXX to pull from my checking account and then deposit the money into my account. 
I realized it I had made the mistake within seconds. I called XXXX to have them cancel that transaction before they process. My call was unsuccessful, the customer service agent stated he could not cancel the transaction due to the fact that it was done with my bank and the transaction was in process and I would need to reach out to my bank. I did so, my bank stated they would give me a credit while they investigated the transaction. I was informed if they found the transaction was a correct transaction they would pay XXXX and charge me, the investigation would take 10 days. 
I did not get charged for it. My XXXX was negative {$260.00} from the canceled transaction. I called to ask XXXX how this was a charge. They would tell me a supervisor was going to speak to me and they would leave me on hold for over 45 minutes and the line would cut off. This repeated itself three times. 
My mother had a XXXX account and has been paid off for a little over {$4000.00}. The collection agency is under my mothers name after we paid off XXXX upfront. 
The {$260.00} was an erroneous charge and needs to be rescinded. 
If it was ever a valid charge it shouldve been under my name, not my mothers. 
Ive called the collectors and asked for verification of the original transaction and to validate the debt. The collector stated they would send me a copy. I was sent a letter that read XXXX has validated the debt. That was not verification. 
I wrote to the claims department via email and have called them as well, I was sent a letter stating attached is the verification. 
It is not verification. I am attaching the letters they sent me. Please help me. This is not mine or my mothers debt and now it is affecting her credit.

I am filing this complaint to address the persistent issue of inaccurate derogatory items and charge-offs reported on my credit profile by Trans Union XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Despite my efforts to resolve these inaccuracies directly with the credit bureau, they have failed to correct or remove the erroneous information. My credit profile includes several charge-offs that are being inaccurately reported. These accounts are either not my responsibility or have been settled but remain incorrectly listed as charge-offs. There are additional derogatory marks on my credit profile that are outdated or unverifiable. These items have unfairly impacted my creditworthiness, livelihood and overall financial standing. I have previously disputed these inaccuracies with Trans Union, providing supporting documentation to substantiate my claims. Despite my disputes, the derogatory items and charge-offs remain on my profile, indicating a failure to properly investigate and correct the inaccuracies as required by law. 15 U.S.C. 1681i - Procedure in Case of Disputed Accuracy : Under this section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed information and correct or delete any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. 15 U.S.C. 1681c - Requirements Relating to Information Contained in Consumer Reports : This law stipulates the types of information that can not be included in consumer reports beyond certain time limits. Equity jurisprudence principles demand that wrongs be remedied and fairness maintained. Clean Hands Doctrine : This principle asserts that one who seeks equity must come with clean hands. My efforts to rectify my credit profile inaccuracies demonstrate my good faith and honest conduct, warranting equitable relief. The principle of subrogation allows me to step into the shoes of the creditor to rectify any inaccuracies. In this complaint I have provided a few federal cases to support my claims. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case underscores the broad equitable powers of courts to ensure justice is served, including ordering remedies that ensure fairness and correct wrongs. XXXX v. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case established that creditors must ensure the accuracy of the information reported to credit bureaus. Failure to do so can result in damages awarded to the plaintiff for harm caused by inaccuracies. XXXX XXXX Trans Union XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) : This case highlighted the obligation of credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes information. The court held that failure to conduct such an investigation could lead to liability for damages.
