Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

My account with XXXX XXXX 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. 

This was clearly a billing error made the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe XXXX  to my XXXX, my XXXX, my XXXX XXXX XXXX and to my XXXX! 

I demand the late payment reported in months that are reported late 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. 


XXXX XXXX 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

On or around XX/XX/2024, I filed lawsuit against my former Landlord, XXXX XXXX, to recover my security deposit. The Court reviewed evidence, took testimony, and entered FINAL JUDGMENT against my former Landlord, and in my favor, affirming that I owe the former Landlord nothing, but that, XXXXXXXX is in fact a debtor to me. 

This collection item is therefore inaccurately placed on my credit reports, and should be immediately deleted.

Going over my monthly consumer report I've noticed that Equifax is reporting multiple accounts that's inaccurate and reporting unlawfully. They are reporting accounts that are not verified nor have my consent to report. I have a right to privacy in which this account never had permission form me which violates that right. I ask that Equifax thoroughly investigate these account to ensure all accuracy. There are no agreement between me and any of the companies reporting so how can there be a debt if there was never a balance agreed to be paid? where's the authorized signature from me? If Equifax continues to report these accounts knowing they're not verifiable then that's another violation against my rights on their end. Pursuant 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy, I demand that these accounts be removed if you can not provide to me any signed agreements between me and the creditor reporting these accounts with my permission to report these accounts. Violations committed by Equifax : 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Congressional findings and statement of purpose 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ( 5 )

" 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''
