Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a complaint regarding the failure of credit bureaus to update the late payments reported on my XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. This failure is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and its corresponding provisions. 

Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to accurately report consumers credit information. In this case, I have evidence and documentation showing that late payments were inaccurately reported by the aforementioned creditors. 

I have made every effort to rectify this situation by disputing these late payments with the credit bureaus. However, despite providing the necessary documentation and evidence supporting the corrections, the credit bureaus have failed to update the inaccurate information within the required timeframe. 

This failure not only affects my creditworthiness but also undermines the purpose of the FCRA, which is to ensure fair and accurate reporting. I believe this situation merits investigation and appropriate action to enforce the provisions of the FCRA. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take immediate action to address this matter and ensure that the credit bureaus promptly update the reporting of late payments on my XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX accounts as required by law. It is crucial that my credit report accurately reflects my payment history. 

Thank you for your attention to this complaint. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will thoroughly investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to rectify the credit bureaus noncompliance with the FCRA.

An attorney representing my son sent my sons debt to collection agency and they have my name and are trying to make me pay his debt. I never signed up for anything and never saw a contract until they sent me his contract and his information. 
I do not live in that state. I am not on the contract. 
They wrote my name on a paper and no date of birth, none of my information like SSI number and no signature of mine stating I would pay this debt. The debt collector insists it's my debt and I need to pay them. 
I told her to stop calling me at work and I am not on that debt. I told her I am not on that contract, so she sent me the contract. I told her she is sending me information for a person that is not me and I should not be receiving his information. 
a person from Alpine Credit ( XXXX ) XXXX keeps harassing me at work for a debt that is not mine.

I called XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX regarding an incorrect telephone # listed on my account that I needed to have removed and updated to reflect my current telephone number. The representative immediately updated my telephone number to the correct telephone number. She asked that I try to login to confirm. As I try to login to my account I noticed that instead of the new telephone number it still showed the old number. She advised it would take up to 48 hours to update. I felt that was incorrect so I called back the same day and spoke with another rep who advised it would take 2 weeks. After 2 weeks my telephone number is still incorrect so I called back once again and spoke with another rep who said she could see in her system the number was updated and she didn't know why it would not update correctly. I requested to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor insured me that she saw the incorrect telephone number attached to secured transfer and she was going to make a note and open a support ticket so that I wouldn't have to explain this issue all over again. She further advised someone would call me within 3-5 business days to advise of the correction. I asked if I would receive a confirmation email or anything outlining what we discussed. She said no. I never received a call. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX to get an update and there is no note, the rep advised she has no way to verify my telephone number even after I advised the correct number. I asked to speak with a manager who proceeded to tell me that all of the previous XXXX reps I spoke with gave me incorrect information and he further advised it would be an undisclosed amount of time before my telephone number is updated. He has no idea what date that will be. He further stated they have to make sure it's me. He laughed as if this was a laughing matter. I am shocked that one of the largest banks in the USA operates in a manner that is very concerning for consumers. Each and every person I speak with at XXXX is not accountable and reliable when telling me what the next steps are. I just want to have my telephone number updated and not be told XXXX has no idea when that will happen. The incorrect number ends in XXXX and it was previously linked to 'Secured Transfer '. When 2 factor authentication is enabled and sent to a telephone number it is sending the auth code to the wrong number. The 2 factor phone authentication should be sent to the number ending in XXXX.

My account with was 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.

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.

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!

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
