Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

My accounts 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 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.

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!

Company: OPORTUN FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CO)

I saw on my credit report that there was a huge drop in credit score, and investigated to find that some scammer opened 2 lines of credit and one line of personal loan under my name, using my social security and birth date.I contacted oportun the company that the persona loan was open under, and they were not helpful at all, I told them that I did not authorize the loan, and never opened the loan, and they said they will get back to me, have not heard from them in 2 weeks, I keep contacting them, telling them I am not willing to pay for someone elses loans, but they dont seem to know what they're doing and keep saying just wait, you will hear from us. I need this loan closed and they need to find the person thats responsible for this. I believe it is the same person as the person that opened th two lines of credit, whom I have some information on. I was able to figure out his address, email, and phone, but no name from investigating through the othe two lines of credit he opened with my information.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Frost-Arnett Company (TX)

I received XXXX bills of owing a debt, but I have insurance and had insurance during the time of treatment and well after I called a few times and was told the debt was waiting for approval of payment.. 
XXXX debt was taken care of because I called XXXX XXXX after a notice in the mail and called my insurance company on XXXX way of which I should not have had to do. 

I asked about the other debt in the amount of XXXX and was told it should be taken care of and they are waiting on my insurance company to pay it.. 
I have not got ta a phone call A letter. Or any other type of attempt to collect this debt from XXXX. I only got a letter stating that it was in collections. 
I have provided my insurance information on every call I have made to XXXX XXXX I assumed it was take care of since I had not heard anything for months. 
This is unprofessional and unfair The lack of communication between them and the insurance company is not my fault and they are causing me a great inconvenience as I am trying to transition financially to be able to qualify for certain things coming up soon. 

This needs to resolved and XXXX XXXX  needs to take the proper action to resolve this matter instead of sitting and waiting on the insurance company. 

It is clear no efforts have been made to confirm my insurance. 

And again, nor was I notified that this was not taken care of How is it XXXX bill was taken care of, but the other bill which was a continuation of of the first bill Again instead of calling me or sending notice No efforts were made other than waiting They made no attempt to follow up with my insurance company Instead they sent it to collections which is incorrect since I had coverage

My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I have always maintained an impeccable payment record with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with all my payments set up on Autopay. This reported late payment is due to a system error on their part during payment processing. 

This billing error by the company does not reflect my payment history and violates USC Code 1681eb. This mistake has severely impacted my reputation, character, lifestyle, and my family. 

I insist that the late payment listed in the MONTHS REPORTING LATE be removed immediately. 

The company is not complying with 15 USC 1666b, which outlines the standards for treating a payment as late. They incorrectly reported my payment as late without following the law.

15 USC 1666b ( a ) specifies that a creditor can not consider a payment late unless reasonable procedures ensure that the periodic statement, with required information per section 1637 ( b ), is mailed or delivered to the consumer at least 21 days before the payment due date.

The company failed to send the periodic statement and disclosures as required by section 1637 ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the due date in good faith under rule 1002, but it has never been provided.

This situation is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and unjust to me as a consumer. 

I demand the removal of the late payments from my consumer reports.

According to a certified mail receipt, the credit bureaus received my dispute regarding all accounts relating to XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2024. I sent an affidavit to XXXX  XXXX explaining the inaccuracies listed on my credit report as well as duplicate accounts.

On XXXX XXXX, 2024, I received an email directly from the company stating they received my dispute regarding the auto loan. No mention of the XXXX XXXX credit cards listed in the dispute. My Experian dispute center does not show a dispute reported for the credit cards which were removed and my XXXX results returned stating disputed items not currently reporting on your file. '' However, they were REMOVED from my credit file. In addition to that, the XXXX XXXX XXXX collection was the duplicate I was referencing which is still on my account. Then a collection under the furnisher XXXX XXXX was then added to my account once these credit cards were removed. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), which states bureaus must assure maximum possible accuracy of the information in a report, I requested validation of these account due to inconsistency in account information amongst the reports. Which was not validated, resulting in the removal and further confirmation that the furnisher understood the FCRA violation. Also, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 623 ( 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ) both the bureaus and the creditors have an obligation to report disputes accurately. That was not done in this case resulting in another violation of FCRA and showing the companies lack of due diligence in credit reporting.
