I went on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to use their pre-approval tool which does specifically say it was not going to affect my credit. 
They said i was pre-approved with XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

Why do i proceed to getting multiple alerts back to back on XXXX XXXX about hard inquiries when it specifically stated there would be no hard inquiry. I though maybe XXXX XXXX was not getting the right information so I logged into XXXX itself to check XXXX  XXXX appears 5 different times from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as well 5 different times within those dates back to back to back on every day, why? I put my information once on XXXX  XXXX and it said it was not going to affect my credit

Dear XXXX XXXXCO INC ; Experian/transunion/equifax ; I am writing to formally dispute a hard credit inquiry reported on my credit report by XXXX XXXX XXXX, dated XX/XX/year>. I did not authorize this inquiry nor provide consent for access to my credit report, and as such, I request its immediate removal. 

Inquiry Details : Reported By : XXXX XXXX XXXX Creditor Contact : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AZ XXXX Account Type : Mortgage Reporters Inquiry Date : XX/XX/year> This hard inquiry is a direct violation of my consumer rights under the following laws : XXXX U.S. Code 1681b ( Fair Credit Reporting Act - FCRA ) : This section stipulates that a credit report may only be accessed under certain permissible purposes, which include applications for credit, insurance, or employment, and only with the consumers consent. Since I did not authorize this inquiry or provide consent, it breaches the FCRAs regulations.

15 U.S. Code 1681c ( FCRA - Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information ) : Under this provision, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure that the information in the credit report is accurate and verifiable. An unauthorized inquiry fails to meet these requirements and thus should be removed.

15 U.S. Code 1681n ( FCRA - Civil Liability ) : This section provides for civil liability for willful noncompliance with the FCRA, including unauthorized access to a consumers credit report. The presence of an unauthorized inquiry on my credit report is a clear violation, and removal is warranted.

15 U.S. Code 1602 ( p ) ( Truth in Lending Act - TILA ) : This section outlines the requirement for obtaining express consent from the consumer before a credit report can be accessed. The lack of authorization for this inquiry contravenes these stipulations. 

Given the unauthorized nature of this inquiry, I request the immediate deletion of this hard inquiry from my credit report. Please provide written confirmation once this has been resolved. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

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.

I did a Credit Card payment plan through XXXX XXXX. They take a little over {$600.00} a month out of my checking account and pay my cards for me. I have 4 of the credit card companies that have reported to the credit bureaus that my accounts were charged off when in fact they are still getting paid through the plan. XXXX XXXX works with the credit card companies and make a payment plan and come to an agreement. What can I do to make them take the CHARGE OFF status off the credit report when they are still getting paid as if I were paying them myself? I never missed a payment or was ever late. They were usually always paid early and for more that the minimum.

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!

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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.
