Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

My account with the company has always been in good standing, and I have never been late with a payment. I have a stellar payment history with XXXX XXXX, with all payments set up on Autopay. The reported late payment is due to a systematic error on their part in processing my payment.

This is a clear billing error by the company and does not reflect my actual payment history, which is a violation of USC Code 1681eb. This mistake has significantly harmed my reputation, character, lifestyle, and family.

I demand that the late payment reported in the specified months be removed.

The company is not in compliance with 15 USC 1666b, which outlines the requirements for treating a payment as late. They reported my payment as late without following the law.

According to 15 USC 1666b ( a ), a creditor can not consider a payment late if they have not adopted reasonable procedures to ensure that each periodic statement, including the information required by section 1637 ( b ), is sent to the consumer at least 21 days before the due date.

The company failed to send the periodic statement and the necessary disclosures as required by section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date in good faith pursuant to rule 1002, but this proof was never provided.

This situation is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and unjust to me as a consumer.

Please remove the late payments from my consumer reports.

I reviewed my credit report from Equifax and noticed that an account with the number ending in XXXX was incorrectly reported as having late payments. Specifically, the report indicated that payments were made XXXX days past due, which is inaccurate. 

To resolve this, I submitted a dispute to Equifax on providing detailed evidence that all payments were made on time. The evidence included payment receipts and account statements that clearly demonstrate my timely payments. 

In response, Equifax sent a notice on [ stating : " The information you disputed has been verified as accurate, however, information unrelated to your dispute has been updated. '' This response did not address my specific dispute or correct the inaccurate information. 

Subsequently, I also contacted the creditor associated with the account, providing the same documentation and requesting verification and correction of the reported information. Despite these efforts, the incorrect late payments remain on my credit report. 

The continued presence of this inaccurate information has negatively impacted my credit score, causing me stress and potential financial harm. 

I am seeking the CFPBs assistance to ensure Equifax complies with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requirements to accurately report my account info

I am a known victim of identity theft. I have been dealing with this for over 2 years and for the most part I have been able to get this cleaned up except for a few items that I keep submitting the documents over and over and over to the credit bureaus. I feel like they are not blocking the account because the account number is only partial but I am literally getting the information off of the credit report so I am not sure what else they want me to do. it is a little ridiculous. The accounts are fraud, how would I have more information that this! I have wasted a lot of time and energy and money going back and forth with them and it is getting very tiresome.

I am disputing inaccurate and erroneous information being reported on my credit report by XXXX XXXX and a third-party collection agency TruAccord regarding the same alleged debt. This letter serves as a demand for immediate removal of this inaccurate information under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, and other applicable consumer protection laws. 

Inaccurate Reporting and Multiple Debt Collections : According to the FCRA, credit consumer agencies are required to report accurate and verifiable information. I have discovered that XXXX XXXX is reporting a debt under their name, while simultaneously, a third-party collection agency XXXX is contacting me for the same debt. This constitutes duplicate reporting and is inherently misleading and inaccurate. 

Consumer Laws Against This Practice : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : This section mandates that information furnishers must not report inaccurate information to credit reporting agencies. The existence of XXXX entities reporting the same debt is a clear violation of this provision. 
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692e : This statute prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading representations in connection with the collection of any debt. Reporting the same debt multiple times misleads and deceives the consumer and potential creditors. 
Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act ( FCCPA ), Fla. Stat. 559.72 ( 9 ) : Under Florida law, it is illegal for a debt collector to assert the existence of a legal right that does not exist. Attempting to collect the same debt through multiple agencies violates this statute and causes undue confusion and harm to the consumer. 
XXXX XXXX continues to update my consumer report on a monthly basis, which constitutes ongoing harassment and an attempt to re-age the debt. This practice violates the FCRA, which requires that only accurate information be reported. 

I am demanding the following actions be taken immediately : Complete Removal : Remove all references to this disputed debt from XXXX XXXX from my consumer report across all three consumer reporting agencies ( Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX ). 
Cease Monthly Updates : Ensure that no further updates regarding this disputed debt are made to my credit report. 

I expect an investigation into this matter and a resolution within the 30-day time frame as stipulated by the FCRA. Please send me written confirmation once these items have been corrected
