Issue: Written notification about debt — Notification didn't disclose it was an attempt to collect a debt
Company: I.C. System, Inc. (PA)

I had visited a local ER ( emergency room ) for treatment in late XX/XX/2019. Part of the total bill during that visit was to be paid to the provider who treated me. That provider is represented by XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The total amount to be collected was {$640.00}. 

Initially, there was no diagnostic code on the bill, to which I contacted the company 2 times in order to get that CPT code. The code was then emailed to me, but never put on the bill. Initially, when I called the first time, the company ( XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) said that they were not allowed to give me the diagnosis code and that in order to get that code, I had to call the hospital to get that information because they were not allowed to give it to me. In essence, they wanted me to pay for something for which no service code was on the bill. 

After I paid {$50.00} to the bill, I received a statement on XX/XX/19, which reflected the new amount of {$590.00}. After 1 month passed, I then received a collection notice by I.C. System saying that I had the {$590.00} balance owed and that I needed to contact them in order to pay my bill. I was confused because I had just recently paid XXXX   XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a total of {$50.00} in XXXX, and just a little over a month later, now my account was suddenly put into collections. It didn't make sense. 

I called I.C. system, and paid another {$50.00} on the account, making the new balance {$540.00}. However, after I made that payment, I.C. system did not send me a new statement or even an electronic receipt of the payment I had made. It all seems very shady and I'm worried that this just a scam to be honest.

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 am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

To Whom It May Concern, I have received my credit report which suggests that I may have owed you something in the past or present. However, there is no evidence to support your claim, so I demand that you dismiss all claims and remove any harmful reports against me. Specifically, I insist that you eliminate any current reported items that are potentially lacking mandatory physical document evidence to verify the truth and accuracy of the claim, as well as any evidence of compliance with the certified XXXX XXXX format reporting standards. Moreover, I require that you prove your lawful authority to conduct business with me or any other contesting consumer. You do not possess the right to act negligently, as you are exposing me to financial and creditworthiness harm. Thus, if you are unwilling or unable to adhere to my request within 20 days of receiving this notice of consumer complaint, you must immediately cease all derogatory or harmful actions towards me, including reporting or collecting any unverified, untrue, invalid, or non-compliant claims or debts. You need to understand that you are not authorized to compel me to engage with you in any manner without legal authority or a written agreement between us. Should you persist in causing harm to me, it will be viewed as harassment or even extortion, which constitutes a criminal offense in my state of residence. Any such misconduct will prompt me to pursue appropriate legal action. Hence, I demand that you rectify any fraudulent or deceptive practices associated with my current consumer credit profile history by expunging any delinquent reported items. 

Listed below are the Inquiries that are being challenged : XXXX - XXXX The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires credit bureaus to inform consumers when a creditor or other business entity performs a hard inquiry, or " hard pull, '' on your credit report and I was not informed. DELETE!

My account with Equifax was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XX/XX/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 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.

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.

Equifax 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
