Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX)

I closed the account on XX/XX/year> because I had been having problems with Bank of America ( I had made a complaint earlier about them and the response I got was very insignificant and not a solution to the problem ) .As I closed this account, I got an email confirmation that the account was successfully closed and to my understanding, this had ended whatever it was with this bank.Ever since I closed this account, I have been getting emails from this bank about some claims that they had left fallow for months and done nothing about.And to add insult upon injury, they had been tampering with the account before I immediately had to close this using the claims as an excuse to be withdrawing money from the account.I do not have anything to do with Bank of America anymore and any attempt by this bank to contact me in any form about anything about a closed account is going to bring about the wrath of so many consumer protection organizations and we would see the end of this.I would not be constantly be threatened and harassed by a fraudulent bank which put me through unnecessary stress and were very nonchalant about rectifying any issues they had caused me.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Subject : Urgent Demand for Removal of Outdated and Inaccurate Items on Credit Report Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to demand the immediate removal of several items from my credit report that are both inaccurate and beyond the statute of limitations. It has come to my attention that despite being time-barred, the following accounts continue to be reported on my credit file : XXXX XXXX {$9400.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX {$0.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Balance {$0.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Balance {$0.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance {$1200.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Balance {$2200.00} Balance updated XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX  Balance {$0.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance {$510.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance {$680.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  Balance {$0.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Balance {$2900.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX These debts have exceeded the legally enforceable time frame for collections, and their inclusion on my credit report is not only misleading but also violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I expect your agency to adhere to the precedent set by the court cases : XXXX v. XXXX. XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case involved the removal of time-barred debts from a consumer 's credit report. The court held that attempting to collect or report time-barred debts violates the FDCPA, and consumers have the right to dispute and have such debts removed from their credit report. 



XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : In this case, the court ruled that debt XXXX must accurately report the status of debts on a consumer 's credit report. If a debt is disputed and found to be inaccurate or time-barred, it must be removed from the credit report in accordance with the FDCPA. 



In light of the court ruling mentioned above, failure to promptly remove these items from my credit report will compel me to pursue all available legal remedies against your agency for non-compliance with federal regulations and court decisions. 



I insist on a thorough investigation into these matters and the immediate removal of the aforementioned items from my credit report. Additionally, I request a written confirmation detailing the actions taken to resolve this dispute and the updated status of my credit report. 



Your cooperation in rectifying this urgent matter is not only expected but legally mandated. Any further delay or negligence will result in legal action being pursued against your agency. 



Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter

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

The company doesn't have a real call center with live representatives. There is no way to file for a dispute and it is still impacting my credit score. I tried all the options from the automated call system many times but I coudltn get to anybody. If they are not going to take the dispute, they shouldn't work as credit bureaus. Why do we need to get judged by these credit bureaus that don't even exist? They don't take calls and try to fix people 's credits on time. The collection is paid off and closed. And the collection agency said they updated my info on the XXXX of XX/XX/year> and it looks like Experian will never update my data.
