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

My accounts 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 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/updated. 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. 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!

Disputed several times as there are many violations with this account : account XXXX XXXX with XXXX and Equifax XXXX : account XXXX XXXX Equifax : account resolution and collection bureau of {$180.00} These companies have failed so show some type of signature or contract that I have alleged debt with THEM! This is also a violation of my HIPAA rights. I have not signed a HIPAA Release form with the alleged creditors. Therefore, these are inaccurate and HIPAA violations and need to immediately be deleted. HIPAA laws protect my personal information from being used without my consent. 

Also, these accounts are in violation of the NO SUPRISE ACT! 

Also, these alleged collection accounts are not open accounts and therefore are inaccurate

My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

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.

Just earlier this week, my credit score was around XXXX. I woke up around the XXXX of XXXX XXXX and it was a XXXX. 

There is nothing that shows differently on my report today than it showed for the past few months. Why another huge reduction to my score? 

Plus, there is a closed account showing it was paid off in 7 months ( Equafax ). Equafax also show my score drastically drop XXXX points. Why did either ( XXXX, Equafax, and XXXX ) drop my score? I have 100 % on time payments, never had a late payment, oldest credit line is 4 years. Why keep doing this to my credit?
