I recently reviewed a copy of my consumer credit report and I noticed that I had some fraudulent accounts/items on my profile. I'm referring to the account from Spring Oaks Capital LLC with account number XXXX. Please remove this account from my report IMMEDIATELY because I did not authorize them and I do not recognize them. I never entered into an agreement or a contract with Spring Oaks Capital LLC. Which makes this fraudulent account/item, inaccurate reporting to my consumer credit report and a violation of my consumer rights under the FCRA and the FDCPA. This fraudulent reporting is hurting my ability to obtain credit and is damaging my financial reputation. I demand for all forms of communication from Spring Oaks Capital LLC to cease and for this account to be deleted from my consumer credit report.

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 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!

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.

( CREDITOR NAME ) 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

I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, XXXX has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. 

Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. 

I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. 

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. 
The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. 

I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.
