I am writing to express my deep frustration and concern regarding the numerous, unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my credit report. Despite my persistent efforts, the fraudulent entries continue to plague my credit history, causing me substantial distress and financial harm. I first discovered the fraudulent items on my credit report. Since then, I have diligently reported this issue to your agency, providing extensive documentation, including police reports, affidavits, and dispute letters, to substantiate my claims of identity theft and fraud. Despite my repeated attempts, I have encountered a lack of resolution and continued reporting of these fraudulent accounts on my credit file. A comprehensive and thorough review of my credit file to verify the existence of the fraudulent accounts. An in-depth investigation into the origins and validity of these items, which I assert are the result of identity theft. Kindly help me remove the following items immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SD XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SD XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : XXXX XXXXprev. late open XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$5500.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NE XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XX/XX/year>.

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 XXXX  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 XXXX  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.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I am writing to formally request the removal of an inaccurately reported charged-off account with XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX from my credit report. The account in question is being inaccurately reported in violation of the Internal Revenue Code and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. According to the Internal Revenue Code, charged-off accounts are considered certificates of indebtedness and should be classified as income. As income can not be reported on a consumer report as a debt, the current reporting of this account constitutes inaccurate and misleading information on my credit report. The specific sections of law that support my claim include : Internal Revenue Code Section 61 ( a ) : This section defines gross income, including income from discharge of indebtedness. A charged-off debt should be reported as income, not as an outstanding debt. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) : This section mandates that furnishers of information, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, must not report information that they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Section 1692e : This section prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading representations in connection with the collection of any debt. Additionally, I have not received the Form 1099-C, which is required for me to properly remit my taxes for the discharge of this debt. This oversight further emphasizes the inaccuracies in the reporting of this account. Due to these inaccuracies, I request that this charged-off account be promptly removed from my credit report. This adjustment will ensure the accuracy of my credit report and compliance with the applicable laws.

I am writing to dispute inaccurate information that appears on my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report I have identified a charge off account from XXXX XXXX XXXX that is being reported, which is in violation of the fair credit reporting act. This XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX account is incomplete and inaccurately reporting on my credit report which is against the law to unfairly represent inaccurate information. The account says charged off but there is a balance of XXXX and a credit limit of XXXX reporting. There cant be a credit limit on a closed charged off account. There is no credit to use. The account info says last payment was on XXXX XXXX. But, the payment history shows XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX as paid on time. The account info says that the account was opened on XXXX XXXX but the payment history is only showing from XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX. All this information is contradicting and inaccurate. Please remove this XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account from my credit report immediately. Thank you
