On XX/XX/19 my place of employment received a call from XXXX XXXX and spoke very aggressively with my business partner saying they were trying to serve me papers.

I told him he could call me back tomorrow with my decision. He then hang up and called my office number again and spoke with my business partner and started to yell and belittle him also and go into detail about the debt that I owed, the settlement offer he gave and that he would start seizing my assets.

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 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 writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

To ensure that your company is reporting accounts 100 % accurately, I would like to know the procedures used to investigate these inaccurate accounts. Did you even conduct an investigation because it is still not reporting 100 % correctly? Its sad that your company would ignore the FTC guidelines in regard to your investigation efforts. I wonder if other consumers are being affected by your lack of investigation. I would like to know to whom you talked with at the collectors office when you started your investigation? Also, please send me their complete address. In addition, please do not send your template letter on how you conduct an investigation. I want details on how you did this.

I was sentenced to XXXX  years in XXXX I was released this year XXXX. My social security card, ID, and birth certificate were left in my home at that time of my arrest and someone stole it. Someone has been using my information to open bank accounts, credit cards, get car loans etc... None of this has been with my permission. There were a few accounts that I gave power of attorney for but none of the ones listed in this complaint. All of the items should be removed. I was incarcerated and therefore none of these accounts belong to me.
