I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION 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

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I understand that when a dealership applies for financing on behalf of a consumer, these inquiries may be viewed differently based on the timing of the applications. Specifically, I would like to clarify whether multiple hard inquiries made within a certain timeframe can be counted as a single inquiry, allowing for a more favorable impact on consumers ' credit scores.

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. 

30 days should be enough time to get back with me.

Re : Dispute of Account Account Number : XXXX Original Creditor : XXXX Balance : {$1800.00} Subject : Immediate Deletion Request Due to Inaccurate Reporting and Violations of Consumer Protection Laws Dear Jefferson Capital Systems, I am writing to formally dispute the validity and accuracy of the collection account referenced above, which is being reported to the credit bureaus by your company. This account contains errors and violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 USC 1681 and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 USC 1692. As such, I demand the immediate deletion of this account from my credit file. 

Violations : Failure to Provide Validation : According to FDCPA 15 USC 1692g, debt collectors must provide verification of the debt upon request. I have not received any valid documentation proving this debt belongs to me, nor have I signed any agreements with your company. Failure to validate this debt within the legally mandated time frame is a violation of federal law. 

Inaccurate Reporting : Under FCRA 15 USC 1681i, any inaccurate or unverifiable information must be corrected or deleted from the consumers credit report. The reporting of this account as a valid debt without proper validation is a breach of this regulation, and I have the right to have it removed immediately. 

Violation of Privacy : Sharing my private information, such as my Social Security Number ( SSN ), without my explicit consent, and continuing to report this account on my credit report, constitutes a violation of my privacy rights. According to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), creditors must safeguard consumer information and ensure it is not misused. 

Deceptive Practices in Collection : Under FDCPA 15 USC 1692e, it is illegal for a debt collector to use deceptive means to collect a debt. Without proper validation, continuing to report and attempt collection on this debt is a deceptive act and a violation of federal law. 

Legal Demands : I request that this account be immediately removed from my credit report across all bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) due to the above violations. 
I request that Jefferson Capital Systems cease any further collection attempts and communication regarding this debt, as required by law. 
I request written confirmation within 30 days that this account has been deleted from my credit report and that no further action will be taken. 
Failure to comply with this request may result in legal action, including filing a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and pursuing claims for damages as allowed under federal law. 

Please treat this communication as my formal notice under FDCPA 15 USC 1692c, that I wish to have no further contact from your agency, except for written confirmation of the deletion. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely,
