Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Request for Removal of Late Payment Record Dear XXXX I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request the removal of a late payment entry associated with my account XXXX under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 


According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, creditors have an obligation to report accurate information to credit reporting agencies. I believe that the late payment reported on XX/XX/XXXX does not accurately reflect my payment history, and therefore violates this provision.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1666b and 15 U.S. Code 1681i, I have the right to dispute any inaccuracies and to have them investigated. I request that you review my payment history and consider removing the late payment from my credit report.

I have always valued my relationship with XXXX and have made all my payments on time, except for this instance, which I believe may have been an error or the result of a delay in payment processing or misreporting on the creditors part. I have attached relevant documentation to support my case, including statements that show my timely payments and other evidence highlighting the error. 


I kindly ask that you provide me with a response to this request within 30 days. Should you find that the information reported is incorrect, I would appreciate your assistance in correcting it with the credit reporting agencies. 


Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs.

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( XXXX ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

This Response is a formal complaint that you are reporting completely inaccurate and misleading information on my credit report. This inaccurate information is not only stopping me from obtaining credit, it is damaging my financial well-being and seriously hurting my character.

Please provide me with proof of these items, specifically the contract bearing my signature. Failing that, please REMOVE this item from my credit report as soon as possible. This is a very serious matter affecting my everyday life. 

The outlined item is completely inaccurate and a very serious error in reporting. Please update this information : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX & Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. & Account Number : XXXX This account is listed as a collection/charged off account on my credit report but I have never received a 1099C for this charged off debt.

Pursuant to 15 US section 1681i ( 6 ) ( A ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, please provide me with the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information, to be provided within 15 days of the completion of your investigation.
