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.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Several months ago, I requested a Debt Validation Letter from this organization as per my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). However, to date, I have not received any response or the requested validation of the alleged debt. 

In the absence of a Debt Validation Letter, I am unable to verify the legitimacy of this debt. This failure to respond constitutes a violation of the FDCPA, which mandates that a debt collector must provide validation of a debt upon request.

Given this lack of response, I am formally requesting that this alleged debt be removed from all credit bureaus immediately. The failure of XXXX XXXX XXXX to provide the requested validation leaves me with no other recourse but to seek your assistance in ensuring that this erroneous debt is expunged from my credit records. 

I trust that the CFPB will take the necessary steps to address this issue promptly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift response and resolution. 

Sincerely,

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MO)

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress.

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

I am writing to dispute the following information in my file, and have noted the relevant disputes. Upon a closer review, I found several accounts and credit inquiries that had been hit by my name aside from those which were unauthorized or unrecognized .... the postings do not seem appropriate to my credit history ; but are incorrect account entries, or are accounts created due to identity theft. Due to the presence of these incorrect items, it has lowered my credit score and affected some personal finance. This has been a major worry as i have wrongful bad credit being attached to my file which in turn is not true history of how i use, spend or manage money.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 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!
