Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OH)

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 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 to be removed/updated.

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.

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!

This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon, and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties, and I did not participate in any of it. More so they didn't follow the proper 5 step validation procedure which make these unfair practices. According to the FDCPA Im entitled to XXXX XXXX per violation and clearly, they violated my rights.

I am writing to request an investigation into the inaccurate charge-off information appearing on my credit report provided by Equifax. This information is incorrect, and I request its immediate removal from my credit file in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and applicable laws.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: LendingPoint Holdings LLC (CA)

I signed up with a company XXXX XXXX that promises over the phone that they would help settle my debt fast. 

The man who spoke with stated that I would need to stop making payments to my creditors, and that they will begin negotiations for a low settlement. They stated it will lower my credit but only for a short time while they quickly made negations and settled my debt. This all made sense and was all advertised to be something they get done quickly.

A year past and they were only able to settle with one company. I called the company frequently throughout the year, following up asking why it was taking so long to settle with the last three companies. Every conversations I would have it was never clear. They would always have an excuse and they blamed it on the other company stating they were waiting to hear back. The last time I called and the reason why I stopped working with XXXX XXXX was that they stated that in order to come to a settlement I would need to pay them more money. I was confused because I was told they would quickly negotiate a settlement with the companies and I would pay XXXX XXXX Instead they wanted the money upfront which was not explained to me over the phone. What did not make sense was they were not reaching any settlements so my creditors were not getting payed and my credit was destroyed when they promised my debts would be settled fast. 

I ended up having to pay them over a XXXX dollars in attorney fees to stop working with them. It was a complete disaster and lie from the beginning. This company has taken advantage of so many people by lying say they will work very fast at settling debts and I feel I deserve some justice. I had great credit before I signed up with XXXX XXXX and they destroyed my credit and now Im left with a horrible credit score. 

I was hoping to get some information on how to dispute these charges on my credit report to explain my situation and see if this can be fixed. 

Thank you, XXXX

I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Processed on Time : I made the payment on time, but it was not credited correctly, resulting in a late payment entry.

Please provide proof that this payment was late or remove any negative association from my report. I have no recollection of this account ever being late. I would appreciate it if you would remove it from my report or show it as " Paid in Full, Never Late '' because this payment was never late and that is what is showing on my credit monitoring yet this account is incorrectly being shown else where.

Please provide me with proof of these items, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature or a documented record of the payment history. Failing that, please update the record to show PAID IN FULL, NEVER LATE, or delete the item from the report as soon as possible. The circled items are completely inaccurate and incomplete, and are a very serious error in reporting.
