I demand the late payment reported in those account 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!

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the credit bureaus ' response to my dispute concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. The credit bureaus have claimed that the disputed items have been validated without providing any substantiating evidence. I seek your assistance in addressing this matter in accordance with Title 15, Section 1581. 

As a responsible consumer, I recently exercised my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by submitting dispute letters to the credit bureausEquifax, XXXX, and TransUnionregarding certain items on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate. I provided clear and specific details outlining the inaccuracies and requested that these items be thoroughly investigated and either corrected or removed. 

However, to my disappointment, the credit bureaus have responded with generic form letters stating that the disputed information has been " validated '' without offering any verifiable proof or documentation to support their claim. This raises serious concerns regarding their compliance with the FCRA, particularly Title 15, Section 1581, which emphasizes the importance of accuracy and fairness in credit reporting. 

I firmly believe that the credit bureaus have not fulfilled their obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation into the accuracy of the disputed items. They have failed to provide any concrete evidence or documentation validating the accuracy of the information in question. As a result, the inaccurate items remain on my credit report, potentially causing substantial harm to my financial reputation and creditworthiness. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) intervene in this matter and ensure that the credit bureaus comply with their legal obligations under the FCRA. I kindly request the following actions : 1. Thorough Investigation : Direct the credit bureaus to conduct a proper and diligent investigation into the accuracy of the disputed items on my credit report. This investigation should involve gathering and providing verifiable proof or documentation to support their claims of validation. 

2. Removal of Inaccurate Information : In the event that the credit bureaus are unable to provide sufficient evidence validating the accuracy of the disputed items, I request their immediate removal from my credit report as mandated by the FCRA. 
3. Compliance Monitoring : Oversee the credit bureaus ' practices to ensure their compliance with Title 15, Section 1581, and other relevant provisions of the FCRA. Implement appropriate measures to prevent the dissemination of inaccurate information and ensure the fair and accurate reporting of consumer credit data.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment, anger, and disbelief regarding your handling of the fraudulent account that has appeared on my credit report. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this issue and my diligent submission of all required documentation, including the FTC Identity Theft Report, this fraudulent account remains unresolved, and my credit report continues to reflect inaccuracies that are severely impacting my financial standing and peace of mind. 
I brought this fraudulent account to your attention because I was assured that an investigation would be conducted, and the account would be removed if found to be fraudulent. Since then, I have written multiple letters and provided all necessary documents, including : A detailed explanation of the fraudulent accounts. 
The completed FTC Identity Theft Report. 
Copies of my identification documents. 
Any additional information requested by your office. 

Despite my compliance and the clear evidence presented, I am deeply frustrated to find that my efforts have been in vain. The account in question remain on my credit report, and I have not received any satisfactory resolution or clear communication regarding the status of your investigation. 

It is disheartening to experience such neglect and lack of responsiveness from an institution that plays a crucial role in safeguarding consumer financial information. The continued presence of this fraudulent account is not only unjust but also a severe breach of my rights as a consumer. I expect prompt and decisive action to rectify this situation.

Despite several attempts to have you correct the errors on my report, this issue remains unresolved. Consequently, I have escalated this to a factual report based on my own investigation.
