Fortiva, closed my credit card account three days after setting up a payment arrangement the closed account hit my account and lowered it by over 100 points on XX/XX/XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX the change started I attached the closed account reporting and when it was closed and the recently updated open account. If this account hits my credit again as closed it will surely lower it again this is unethical due to the nature of tactical measures to obtain Furnishing and Reporting Inaccurate Information knowing the account is closed showing as current when it rectified will decrease my score yet again I called and they verified the account was closed however still showing current XX/XX/XXXX was updated as open. 

FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT/REGULATION V. Section 623 of the FCRA and Regulation V generally provide that a furnisher must not furnish inaccurate consumer information to a CRA,

My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with 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 XX/XX/year> 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 XXXX ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX 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!

These records were obtained from XXXX and reported without my explicit consent, violating multiple sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other related laws protecting consumers rights regarding the use of personal information. Furthermore, the courts of Oklahoma clearly state that they do not report bankruptcy information to credit reporting agencies. 

Relevant Laws FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) : States that a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report if the consumer has given written instructions to the agency to do so. I have not provided any such consent for this bankruptcy information to be included.

FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Grants consumers the right to dispute the accuracy of any information on their credit report. Upon receiving a dispute, the credit reporting agency must conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days.

FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) : Mandates that if the investigation finds the information to be inaccurate or unverifiable, it must be promptly deleted or corrected.

FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) : Requires furnishers to provide accurate information and correct any inaccuracies once notified.

FCRA Section 607 ( b ) : Obligates credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

FDCPA Section 809 ( b ) : Entitles consumers to request debt validation. The collection agency must provide proof that the debt is valid and that they have the right to collect it. Failure to provide this proof requires the removal of the collection account from the credit report.

TILA Section 131 : Mandates clear and accurate disclosure of credit terms. Any failure to comply with TILA disclosures could invalidate the debt.

Immediate Actions Required Given these legal obligations, I demand that you : 1. Provide definitive proof that I committed the actions as reported, including : Complete documentation proving the validity of the debt.

Verification procedures used during your investigation.

Written confirmation from the original creditor substantiating their claims.

2. Remove the inaccurate and unauthorized accounts and bankruptcy records from my credit report immediately if you can not provide the requested proof.

Failure to comply with this request within the FCRA-mandated 30-day period will result in immediate legal action. This includes filing a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and pursuing all available legal remedies.

Consider this your final notice. If these inaccuracies are not corrected and the accounts are not removed, I will take further action to protect my rights.

I expect a prompt and thorough response. Provide the requested proof or delete the inaccurate accounts and bankruptcy records immediately.

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.

The info in my credit reports is wrong, making it hard for me to get new credit. When I apply for credit, the errors confuse lenders and paint the wrong picture of my creditworthiness. 

These mistakes seriously harm my financial reputation. So, I formally ask for them to be corrected and removed from my reports. It's crucial that my credit file shows my real financial status for fair assessments by lenders.
