Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I recently applied for a XXXX XXXX credit card. I was offered {$100.00} gift card for doing so. I was asked if I wanted a XXXX XXXX XXXX card with a {$59.00} a year charge. I said no, just a store card. I was turned down! This has NEVER happened to me. I have EXCELLENT credit and have for YEARS!!!!! Equifax advised them that I had " insufficient credit experience ''!!! I have paid off XXXX mortgages. I Have NEVER had a late payment. I do not have any loans. This is ridiculous that their inaccurate report cost me {$100.00}! 

Why was I penalized for NOT having loans and owning my home outright? This is ridiculous. I was so embarrassed and for NO REASON!!! Equifax need to do a better job!! Now my score will lose points because of this inquiry.

I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.

My account with ( XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH capital 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 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
