Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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 months that are reported late 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

There are several accounts reporting on my credit report, that are a result of identity theft. I have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission on or around XX/XX/year>. I have also mailed out dispute letters regarding the matter in early XXXX. I have not obtained the proper information verifying that these are my accounts, indeed. Since my information was impacted by the Equifax data breach and might have ended up in the wrong hands, I am unaware of these things or inaccurate information. I have strong evidence that these erroneous items on my report were caused by your breach. You are failing to comply with the FCRA by reporting carelessly and inaccurately. I demand that these items be updated and deleted right away. I also demand that you send me a credit report within 30 days that reflects the updated changes.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I've submitted several requests for investigation on inaccurate accounts on XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, but the company has not started the investigations. Instead, they have stated that it appears as though my letter was sent by a third party ; however, there is no third-party company submitting my dispute letter. I've also called them on 5 different occasions between XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> to which they verified my account, by when I send my exact dispute letter, they send me the same generic letter. This is costing me a financial burden and is preventing me from obtaining a mortgage.
