I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized accounts appearing on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to have these accounts removed, they persist, causing significant damage to my financial reputation and well-being. The accounts in question are in clear violation of 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes. It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

My account with the company and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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.

This company 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.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any accounts which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute accounts do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

I have items passed on that should be taken out or removed. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (TN)

My mortgage was bought out from XXXX by carrington. My family had a few bad financial months, and fell behind on our mortgage. I kept in touch with them and tried to make numerous XXXX payments in which they did not put towards my account, it went into a " holding '' account ( which I did not know ) when I called to make another payment they would not accept unless it was the full balance owed. I started saving money and calling weekly to make sure it would not be foreclosed on so I could pay the full balance. I finally had the total amount due and called to make a payment for my delinquent months. ( I had just spoken to a rep XXXX days prior ). They informed me that my home had already been sent to a foreclosure attorney a week prior. I explained that this could be true because I had just spoken to a rep XXXX days ago and I could make the payment. Long story short after the supervisor listening to her employee tell me all of the wrong information and that I had a few more days to pay and even saying wait till the XXXX month and pay that also -- that I would not be in threat of foreclosure she assured me that her employee did need more training and made a mistake but it would not change the fact that my home was in foreclosure. So now they will not take my payments and I have to pay reinstatement fees even though admitting her employee was wrong and gave false information. Now I am in fear of losing my home all because I relied on the workers to give me accurate information.

I withdrew my request for a loan with Mason McDuffie to work with the Builder 's preferred lender, as this was in my best interest. Mason McDuffie asked me to remain with them and offered a full loan approval in 48 hours. After I declined, Mason McDuffie entered my loan into the FHA system as a denial. This created a significant impediment to my loan being transferred and approved by the Builder 's preferred lender.

Company: Independent Savings Plan Co. (FL)

On or about XX/XX/XXXX a XXXX XXXX came to my house and installed a water softener system and told me that they have in house financing for their systems and it would only be {$70.00} a month for 96 months with no interest or fees. I was never given any account information or terms just a yellow paper receipt with the cost of the machine and the additional price for the platinum maintenance package. The technician had a little cell phone that I signed the installation agreement but I only signed that XXXX thing. I started to immediately have issues with the water softener system and tried multiple times to obtain assistance in repairing the issues. The original company ( XXXX XXXX ) never followed through, falsely changed their address with the XXXX  and won't honor their part of the deal and when I did speak to a representative I told them I wanted to cancel the contract and have them take the machine back, at which point they informed me they don't hold the money part - it was a CREDIT CARD!!! ( not what I was led to believe at all ) and I would have to dispute it with the credit card company ( ISPC ). So, on XX/XX/XXXX I sent ISPC a letter disputing the validity of the debt since I was never told I was opening a high interest, low balance, incurs monthly fees, credit card. I sent ISPC a letter of refusal to pay, requested that they stop contacting me completely by phone or text, and disputed the validity of the debt. On or about XX/XX/XXXX - ispc sent a response that included an agreement that they would not communicate with me via phone or text. They also sent copies of the alleged agreement with my alleged signature - however, every single spot is the exact same signature. The technician from XXXX used my first signature for the original contract to fraudulently apply me for this credit. After this letter from them arrived, they continued to call me and leave voicemails and refused to remove the info from my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX I received another letter that is the opposite of their first response but still does not solve the fraudulent opening of this account problem. I have already reported the XXXX XXXX XXXX to the XXXX  and the attorney general for fraudulent and deceptive practices and neglect of follow through for their unkept promises. I am still getting phone calls from ISPC.

Because we did a loan modification and filed bankruptcy we can not make our payment online and every time we have to call to make a payment we have to spend like 30 minutes or more waiting for someone to answer, and then get hung up I think this is not acceptable because they are still being paid and I think is abusive.
