Today I did a re-fi of my home and noticed by credit score which is normally over XXXX had dropped, I looked into it and it show XXXX reporting a balance of {$19.00} owed from XXXX of XXXX  and they wrote it off, closed the card and filed on my credit report. 

After talking to XXXX and the XXXX XXXX the issuing card company they told me there was nothing they could do. I told them I never recieved one email saying I had a balance nor that it was do nor that was being written off. They tried to send me an email and I never received it and then went on to tell me they have sent me several emails to which I have recieved one and that was from XXXX of XXXX. 

I'm at a loss on the amount of common sense not being used here to think I would immediately pay off the amount {$270.00} and leave {$19.00} open for a year. I am asking for help getting this stupid waste of all our time off my credit report as XXXX XXXX has to have some responsibility in not emailing nor letting me know I had a card with a balance on it.

I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. These accounts were taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, these accounts shouldn't be in my report. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

I am writing to you as the holder of Auto Loan account number XXXX XXXX XXXX to report an issue negatively impacting my credit report that appears to be in violation of the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1666b, as well as other relevant sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements, including all information required by section 1637 ( b ), at least 21 days before the payment due date. This requirement ensures that consumers have sufficient time to receive, review, and make necessary payments without being unfairly penalized for late payments.

Additionally, the FCRA, specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files.

I have identified that the statements for my credit card have not been delivered in compliance with these requirements, resulting in the appearance of late payments on my credit report. This non-compliance has adversely affected my credit score. 

I formally request that you investigate and correct any inaccurate information related to these late payments on my credit report. Below are the details of the affected payments XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter to rectify any errors in my credit report. I am willing to provide any additional documentation necessary for your investigation. 

I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the actions taken to correct this information and ensure compliance with the relevant regulations.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
