I am writing to dispute the reporting of charged-off accounts on my credit report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under 15 U.S. Code {$1600.00}.

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681b, a consumer reporting agency is permitted to furnish a consumer report under certain circumstances, such as with the written consent of the consumer. I have never provided written consent for XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, creditor in relation or any of its affiliates to report charged-off accounts on my credit report. 
Furthermore, The FCRA mandates that consumer reporting agencies and furnishers of information must ensure the accuracy and privacy of consumer information. As such, I demand the following actions be taken immediately : 1. Remove unauthorized charged-off accounts : Please provide documentation showing that I gave written consent for the reporting of each charged-off account listed on my credit report. In the event there is a charged off account, I am to be provided a 1099c and request that and if not given am permitted the accounts be removed. In the absence of such documentation, I demand that these charged-off accounts be removed from my credit report. 
2. Cease and desist further reporting of charged-off accounts : I request that XXXX, Equifax, XXXX cease XXXXny further reporting of charged-off accounts without my explicit written consent.

Failure to comply with these requests may result in a complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), as well as possible legal action to protect my rights under the FCRA. 

Please confirm receipt of this letter and provide a response detailing the actions taken to address my concerns within 30 days, as required by the FCRA. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX 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 hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

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 XXXX, 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!

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored. At this time I would like to prepare another appeal for investigation before I confer with my own counsel to obtain advice on how to handle fraudulent, incorrect and unverifiable account that is kept to be established as correct. I am in desperate need of this item to be INSPECTED and REMOVED.

Company: World Acceptance Corporation (TN)

When unable to pay I 'm automatically threatened. I 've been threatened that my account would go to the attorney, I 've been told that my account WAS already sent to the attorney, but then they resume calls the next day, so they 're lying. Not only lying, but calling my employer private and calling my cell number private as well & I 've even answered their private calls. I do this kind of work daily so I know what you can and ca n't do, which is why the cfpb was put into effect, to keep consumers from being taken advantage of! They call more than 3 times a day blocked. Which they can not do. All together I 'm upset with this financial corporation. There is a such thing as collecting without threatening your customers!

Greetings, In Accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act XXXX Account # XXXX, Has violated My rights. 

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States i have the right to Privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. Recently, I requested an investigation from the credit bureaus to ensure the accuracy of the information on my credit report. The credit bureaus conducted their investigation and concluded that all the information was accurate. 

However, after receiving their response, I conducted my own thorough review of my credit report. During my investigation, I identified several inaccuracies that the credit bureaus failed to address. These inaccuracies include [ describe the specific inaccuracies you found, such as incorrect account balances, outdated information, accounts that do not belong to you, etc. ]. 

Despite the credit bureaus ' assertion that the information was accurate, my findings indicate that their investigation was insufficient and did not address the errors present in my report. This has caused me considerable distress and has potentially impacted my credit score and financial standing. 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. 

15 USC 6801 says that I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared!!! The law states, " It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 USC 1681 section 602a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states, " Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

15 U.S. Code 1681e states '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. 

Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures! My privacy rights and identity have been stolen! That also means that the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ) was violated! This account is an adverse item they are reporting without my permission which is against the law and hurting my ability to obtain credit! Please remove this account immediately!!
