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

According to 15 U.S.C. 1666B, creditors must promptly correct billing errors, which include any charges that a consumer has not agreed to in writing or any other unauthorized charges. Since this account was closed, no new charges should have been reported, and therefore, no late payment should be applicable.

Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1637A outlines the rights of consumers to have accurate information reported about their credit. This section mandates that creditors provide accurate and complete information to credit reporting agencies. Reporting a late payment on a closed account is a clear violation of this statute. 

Enclosed are copies of my records showing the account was closed and the payment history at the time of closure. I request that the inaccurate information be corrected as soon as possible and that a corrected credit report be sent to me at the above address. 

Please investigate this matter and update my credit report to reflect the accurate status of the account. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

On XX/XX/year>, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has reported to Experian that they've closed a credit line with your account.

This is the second time I've updated this questionable information by sending a letter to the three credit bureaus. I believe you have violated Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) by failing to verify these items, and I will take legal action against you as a result. This was previously mentioned in my previous COMPLAINT #, and I'm including it once more.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 
This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

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 & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

I have disputed fraudulent transactions on the XXXX account and disputed the inaccurate derogatory reporting to the credit bureaus for years, but none have done anything to correct the problem. Even nowXXXX XXXX months after receiving an XXXX  XXXX XXXX from XXXX Bank in XX/XX/2022, they are still reporting monthly derogatory and harassing statements and data to credit reports and inaccurate account date with an outstanding balance and severe delinquencies. 
In their letter to me they stated they will continue to report the inaccurate information to credit Bureaus until I ask them to stop. This is unacceptable purposefully harmful behavior and harassment that they intend to continue until the XXXX year data cutoff. 
Their harassment and behavior can only be to continue to inflict more harm and more damage to my personal and financial security. 
Ive requested they stop and correct the record and issue a statement to me and forward the details of their harassing behavior and steps they are taking to resolve the emotional, financial, punitive and pain and suffering they have caused and continue to cause me so can restore the damage they have inflicted.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida XXXX XXXX Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute a charge-off listed on my credit report, which I believe has been reported inaccurately and should be removed in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ( b ). This statute requires credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual to whom the report relates. 
The item in question is as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Reported Charge-Off Date : XX/XX/year> According to the Internal Revenue Service XXXX IRS ) XXXX a canceled debt reported as a charge-off may be considered gross or ordinary income. I received a Form XXXX indicating this debt was canceled on [ Date of Cancellation ], which, according to IRS guidelines XXXX legally releases me from the obligation to repay this debt. 
In accordance with the FCRAs stipulation for accuracy, and based on the legal cancellation of this debt as evidenced by the IRS documentation, I am requesting the removal of this chargeoff from my credit profile. The continued reporting of this charge-off is not only inaccurate but also misleading, given that the debt has been legally satisfied and should no longer negatively impact my credit history. 
Attached are copies of the following documents supporting my claim : Form XXXX indicating the cancellation of debt. 
Correspondence with the creditor confirming the status of the debt as canceled. 
I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the inaccurate charge-off entry from my credit report promptly. Please provide me with written confirmation of the removal of this item, along with an updated copy of my credit report.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with capital one 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 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
