I reached out to XXXX XXXX in regards to an item on my credit since 2014. I've contacted them numerous of times and also disputed this item on my credit multiple times in regards to its inaccurate and illegal reporting. Per 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy Subject to subsection ( f ) and except as provided in subsection ( g ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, the agency shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller. 15 U.S. Code 1681c - Requirements relating to information contained in consumer reports Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : ( 5 ) Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. ( c ) Running of reporting period. ( 1 ) In general : The 7-year period referred to in paragraphs ( 4 ) and ( 6 ) of subsection ( a ) shall begin, with respect to any delinquent account that is placed for collection ( internally or by referral to a third party, whichever is earlier ), charged to profit and loss, or subjected to any similar action, upon the expiration of the 180-day period beginning on the date of the commencement of the delinquency which immediately preceded the collection activity, charge to profit and loss, or similar action. This unlawfully being placed on my credit has caused me to lose out on Credit Card opportunities, denied for bank accounts, my credit score tanking, I haven't been able to get a car and the list goes on. I've provided them proof from THEIR website showing my vehicle was paid for so why is it still on my credit? They charged this vehicle off and inaccurately reported my payment history to all 3 bureaus. I have disputed this with all 3 bureaus with no resolution just more run arounds. I can provide my payment history showing I received a credit that covered the vehicles balance- their system shows it. They have been making my life a living XXXX for 10 years- that is way past 7 years as stated above. XXXX XXXX is taking advantage of its consumers and purposefully ruining credit worthiness because they get away with ignoring disputes and complaints. It is unlawful! I have attached my payment history- you will see the credits in " ( ) ''.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Despite my previous XXXX written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request. 

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after XXXX written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

I previously notified you on XX/XX/24 that there was information on my consumer report as the result of identity theft. Also that I did not provide written permission or instructions for the identified transactions to be reported on my consumer report. In accordance with the law, the requirement threshold is simply : Proof of identity - a copy of my State ID was provided A copy of an identity theft report - furnished from identitytheft.gov, a government agency The identification of said information by the consumer - listed in my last letter but I digress is as listed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX. 

A statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer - which I have previously stated per the letter sent on XX/XX/24, but alas I reiterate once again that this information is not any information relating to any transaction by me as a consumer. 

As the consumer reporting agency, a block of the information that resulted from an alleged identity theft should have been no later than XX/XX/24. My request to block was and is not being made in error, nor is my request to block being made on the basis of a material misrepresentation of fact by me relevant to the request to block the identified transactions.

My accounts 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 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 XXXX  days before the payment due date. 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  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!
