Fraudulent Activity and Violation of Privacy Rights by Experian, XXXX, and XXXX I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding significant violations of my rights by the credit reporting agencies Experian, XXXX, and XXXX. I believe these agencies have engaged in fraudulent activity by violating my right to privacy, sharing false and misleading information about me, and reporting erroneous accounts on my credit report. The following companies have been listed on my credit report as fraudulent or inaccurate accounts, none of which I have authorized or have any relationship with : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Department of Education, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. These accounts have severely impacted my credit score and financial standing, and despite my efforts to rectify the situation, the credit reporting agencies have continued to report this inaccurate information. This not only constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) but also represents a breach of my right to privacy, as my personal information has been handled and shared improperly. I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter promptly and take the necessary actions to ensure these fraudulent and inaccurate accounts are removed from my credit report. I am also requesting that the CFPB ensure that Experian, XXXX, and XXXX comply with their legal obligations to protect consumers privacy and accurately report credit information. 
Please feel free to contact me should you require any additional information or documentation regarding my case. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving this issue.

I owe an outstanding debt which has been placed with Rev Now. I was receiving repeated calls and i don't typically answer unknown numbers. I answered and an automated system asked me to stay on the line while they connected me with a live person. When i spoke to the person I told them they were violating the FDCPA by calling and leaving me messages multiple times in the day. They asked if i was going to sue them or if i just wanted to pay. I said i just wanted to tell them they were going to get into issues with their practices. i set up an arrangement but haven't been able to make the payments. They started calling again and there are repeated calls in a day. They are calling from XXXX numbers. XXXX is a live person from XXXX and then there is an automated message from XXXX. I am providing snap shots from my phone showing the number of times they have left messages in the last 7 days. I realize i owe but they are are not following the laws and repeatedly harrassing me.

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.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ)

My accounts were never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH 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 in 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.

Those companies 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

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: Todd, Bremer & Lawson, Inc. (NC)

In XXXX, I registered for an online course with The University XXXX XXXX XXXX but subsequently canceled my registration prior to the University 's deadline. I received written communication from the University acknowledging their receipt of my cancelation but they claim to have no record of it. I first received notices from the University requesting payment in XX/XX/XXXX and disputed the debt. I believe I received communication from XXXX debt collection agencies for the same account. Each time I received a notice, I would dispute the debt and each time I received no response for an extended period of time. I did not keep records of those communications, each time believing the issue had been resolved. 
Recently, I have been receiving letters from Todd, Bremer & Lawson , Inc., a debt collection agency, demanding payment. I have disputed the debt and twice provided them with documentation from the University proving that the debt they are attempting to collect is not valid. I have requested that they close the matter and provide me with a written statement that the matter has been resolved ( as they are at least the third entity with whom I have disputed the debt ). I believe they are violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and would like to file a complaint against both the University and their debt collection agent and request assistance in reaching a resolution to this matter. 
I am uploading copies of each communication I sent them ( sent to them by my wife via efax ), the attachments that I sent with each fax, and a copy of the last response I received from them asserting that the debt is valid and that they will consider any future disputes " frivolous ''. I do n't know what to do and would truly appreciate your help. Thank you.

Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request.

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Please review the attached letter. Thank you for your assistance.

I am reaching out in regards to a situation with my mortgage company and HAF program ( also known as XXXX  ). On XX/XX/2024 I called XXXX in regards to my application and the remaining forward mortgage payment and fees accessed from mortgage company as the property went into foreclosure from XXXX not paying on time. I spoke with a representative and they informed me that a final payment of XXXX would be sent over to my mortgage company XXXX XXXX  and that there will be no more payments moving forward. On XX/XX/2024 XXXX forwarded the payment to XXXX XXXX  to fulfill the last six month forward mortgage payment and foreclosure fees. Now XXXX XXXX is claiming that the wrong account was paid. How did this happen? I have been paying my mortgage on time since XX/XX/2024 and now XXXX XXXX  has negative my account the {$1100.00} reversing the funds out of my account and have placed my account as past due even though I have made payments faithfully each month before the due date since XXXX. This has affected my credit score as it has lowered my score XXXX points. I need to understand why XXXX XXXX is claiming that the XXXX  program paid the incorrect account and have taken the funds out of my account. And if so, what happened to the funds that XXXX told me of back on XX/XX/2024 of {$1100.00}. When I call XXXX, they tell me that dont see any notes of me calling multiple times in XXXX which is hard to believe. When I talk to XXXX XXXX that are forcing me to come up with this money or my account will remain past due. How is my account credited on XX/XX/2024 {$1100.00} but then taken out and reversed out of my account six months later on XX/XX/2024 because of a Cashier error. However, my account and mortgage statements do not reflect a past due balance and actually show that I am in good standing. So is XXXX XXXX  statement trying to steal funds out of my account and place them in someone else 's loan because none of my mortgage statements reflect a past due balance.
