In my original complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a collection account by XXXX, associated with XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, I provided detailed information showing that the account had been fully paid. Despite this, the account is still being reported as open with a balance of {$910.00}, which is causing damage to my credit report. 

On [ insert date of original complaint ], I submitted a formal dispute through the appropriate channels. I received a response from XXXX on [ insert date of response ], stating that they were unable to locate my credit report. Following this, I sent the requested identification and documentation, but the issue remains unresolved, and the inaccurate information is still listed on my credit file. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : It is important to note that under the recent student loan relief efforts implemented by the XXXX administration, there have been significant changes in how student loans and related accounts should be handled. These reforms provide protections for borrowers, including more accurate reporting of loans and collection accounts. The ongoing incorrect reporting of this account, despite it being paid, goes against both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the intent behind the XXXX administration 's student loan relief policies, which aim to protect borrowers from harmful credit practices and ensure accurate reporting of student debt. 

Relevant Legal Protections : FCRA Violation : Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, data furnishers must report accurate information. The continued reporting of this account as open and derogatory is a violation of this law.

XXXX XXXX XXXX Protections : Under new federal protections and relief measures, the inaccurate handling of student-related debts, such as this one, undermines the goals of the XXXX administrations relief efforts and the protections guaranteed to borrowers. 
Request for Resolution : I am requesting immediate action to correct this inaccurate reporting. The account should be updated to reflect a {$0.00} balance and " Paid in Full '' status, and all derogatory remarks should be removed. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will be left with no choice but to take further legal action to enforce my rights under federal law and ensure compliance with recent student loan relief protections.

I recently obtained a copy of my credit report and disputed inaccurate accounts that I do not recognize as doing business with. To be told that the accounts came back as verified without providing me with the requested information from the investigation process was a direct violation of my rights. I have attached a copy of my FTC Identity theft report as well as FCRA 605 ( B ), FCRA 609 ( e ), and FTC Notice to Furnishers. I have not felt the need to use my credit since XXXX of XXXX because its too stressful to deal with. What's even more stressful is finding out that hackers and scammers can gain access to my information and do all types off things that seems impossible to catch or track down. The point of me abandoning this highly stressful credit system was to avoid negative and derogatory things being reported. Even though I rather my report to show that I have little to no history, I still don't want it to look as if I owe debts. This is also inquires from XXXX and XXXX that I did not authorize or give consent to obtain my consumer report. XXXX, XXXX, and Experian have failed to protect my consumer rights and properly investigate fraudulent activity. They have failed to follow through with providing verification methods and proofs of purchase agreements from all collection accounts. There is no need for me to spew off a bunch of consumers laws that have been violated because all three major credit bureaus should know them.

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

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.
