Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Date of Charge-Off : [ XX/XX/year> ] It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 

The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Regardless of the multiple written requests, the ITEMS listed below are still reporting on my credit report which is a violation of FCRA. The Bureaus failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law, they failed to properly investigate the matter by using a third party as their verification provider and have continued reporting the unconfirmed & unverified information. Given all my attempts to address it directly with Experian and XXXX CREDIT BUREAUS, they are willfully negligent and non-complying with federal statutes & I need this matter handled immediately.

My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX 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 60 days 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. 

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

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Starting mid last year I started seeing " no payment due '' on my account in EdFinancial 's web portal. I had not received any bills in the mail for months, and still have not. Then in XXXX my account all of a sudden showed as overdue so I paid what it said I owed, about a double payment. Then I maid a payment in XXXX even though it said I didn't owe anything, in an attempt to keep current. But then in XXXX it said I owed a triple sized payment and that I was again somehow overdue. So I made that payment. Since then, the portal has shown " no payment due ''. I was scared that I was not current on my account even though the web portal said that I was current, I dug around in their " inbox '' documents and there were bills in there that looked like bills that should have been mailed to me, but were not. These had due dates and past due amounts! So, I paid the XXXX unpaid bills in the web portal even though the web portal still said " no payment due ''. Now over a week later the web portal still does not reflect those payments and they are not in my payment history. I complained to the company and have gotten no response. The confirmation numbers for the lost payments are XXXX and XXXX. Now the portal says I have a payment due, but I don't know if that is covered by my previously paid bills or not. Please help! thank you
