My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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.

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!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MI)

It is crucial that consumer reporting agencies uphold their grave responsibilities when it comes to the handling of consumers personal credit files. After performing a re-investigation upon my credit file for account XXXX  XXXX pursuant to 15 USC 1681ia1a, your company failed to follow proper procedures in regard to correspondence to me the consumer, in the handling of the reinvestigation.

As clearly outlined within, 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) ; 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy Subchapter 7 states the following ; ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a detailed description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description.

Further outlined within 15 USC ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) ; ( 6 ) Notice of results of reinvestigation ( A ) In general A consumer reporting agency shall provide written notice to a consumer of the results of a reinvestigation under this subsection not later than 5 business days after the completion of the reinvestigation, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by other means available to the agency.

( iii ) a notice that, if requested by the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available.

It is ridiculous that this account is even being reported as late as I have been set up for autopay during my entire payment history with XXXX XXXX. 

I am prepared to file a complaint with the XXXX  as well for both company 's if this situation is not rectified immediately. 

The correspondence mentioned above was NEVER made to me and therefore, your company is in direct violation of the FCRA and is now liable for monetary damages detailed within 15 USC 1681n and 15 USC 1681o.

Not only was a proper reinvestigation not performed as the derogatory account mentioned is erroneous to begin with, but your agency also failed to follow the FCRAs clear rules in the handling of correspondence to me in association with the account in question. Please delete this erroneous account as I have sought legal counsel in this matter and intend on seeking damages associated with this complaint if this issue is not resolved. Thank you for your time.

I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency has failed to respond to multiple dispute requests submitted on my behalf by my Power of Attorney. These disputes were sent more than 30 days ago, and I have not received any response or confirmation that an investigation has been initiated.

All necessary documentation was included in the dispute requests, including my identification, proof of address, Power of Attorney, and a detailed list of the items in question that require investigation. Despite providing everything required, the consumer reporting agency has not taken action, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I request that the CFPB intervene to ensure the consumer reporting agency conducts a thorough investigation and provides a timely response as required by law.
