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

I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) 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. 


( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) 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!

The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

I recently discovered that my creditor failed to provide the required XXXX 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 XXXX notice requirement, not my negligence.

I am applying for a mortgage loan as my new house is withing 60 days of being complete. The bank said they pulled my credit from the 3 agencies, but Equifax does not show any credit report. I called them 4 times and each time they tell me the same thing that there is nothing in my profile preventing my information from getting to the bank. 

My credit also shows a death notice from XX/XX/year> which was supposedly fixed last XXXX of XXXX. My loan officer and I are at my wits end trying to fix this so I can lock in my mortgage rate.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

On XX/XX/2023 our property was hit by a tornado which completely destroyed our home and out buildings. It was a total loss, the home and buildings were gone. 
On XX/XX/2023 we reported this event to our home insurance company. 
On XX/XX/2023 we got XXXX checks from our insurance company for the home and out buildings. 
On XX/XX/2023 we sent by priority mail overnight the XXXX checks, to our mortgage company. 
On XX/XX/2023 we got notification that the checks were delivered to our mortgage company. 
On XX/XX/2023 we talked to the Loss Draft department at our mortgage company to check on the status of the pay out to us. We were told that the money was deposited on XX/XX/2023. 
On XX/XX/2023 we talked to the Loss Draft dept. again and was told that they could escalate this issue to management. 
On XX/XX/2023 once again we talked to the Loss Draft dept. and they checked on the escalation and said the day before it went to management. The rep gave us a link to a website to monitor each step of the process. 
On XX/XX/2023 we got on the website to check the process and saw nothing new. We then submitted a written question on the website and submitted that. 
On XX/XX/2023 we called the Loss Draft dept., the rep said that an email was sent to management XXXX weeks ago, then sent us to a supervisor. XXXX said she would call me back that day. She called back but did not have any further information as far as the process was going. 
On XX/XX/2023 we checked the website again and did not see any change in the process. 
In addition to the above, On XX/XX/2023 we signed a paper with a mobile home dealer to reserve a mobile home that we found that was a very good price for a new mobile home. We put a deposit down to reserve it. During XXXX of the conversations above we made the mortgage company Loss Draft dept. know this and that we are not building a house, just buying a new mobile home to put on our property in the place where our previous mobile home was. We made it clear that we are not building anything just placing the mobile home there. The mortgage company only wants to release half of the price of the mobile home and we would have to finance the other half. We can not get financing at this time. We also signed a paper that allows the mortgage company to communicate directly with the mobile home dealer/sales rep. 
The issue has yet to be resolved.

XX/XX/year>XXXX  I was entered into a contract with what I believed was Markosian Auto 's in-house financing. It turns out I was entered into an agreement with a financial institute named APG Financial. I was told my {$2000.00} deposit was needed in order to get approved for said " in-house financing ''. My agreement was shown to me on a computer screen being scrolled through while going over terms of the agreement. I didn't know every time I said " okay '' ... an electronic signature was made in my name. This is how I was entered into an agreement making Markosian Auto my power of attorney and another agreement with APG Financial who collects my payments. I was charged gap insurance and the neither company was not licensed to sell insurance until XX/XX/year>. I was charged a fee for not being able to afford auto insurance with a {$500.00} deductible. I sent letters with tracking and certification to revoke power attorney and rescind the agreement. this was over 20 days ago. I stopped paying due to the fraudulent charges that I addressed in my letter to rescind. APG Financial turned the vehicle off after one bi-monthly " missed '' payment ( not even a full months payment late, not even 30 days late ), using a gps device in the vehicle due to the " late '' half payment. I have not gotten a response or any acknowledgement from Markosian Auto to move forward.
