I filed a dispute with Equifax for a collection item that is reporting on my credit report that is not mine. I provided an ID theft affidavit and proof of my identity. The item is still reporting on my credit report despite several efforts to remove it. After calling the Credit Bureau on the phone they stated that the reason is the Identification I sent was not legible, even though the copies I have are clear. I have attached the proof of identity information that I sent to Equifax. I hope that you can help me resolve this matter.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. 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.

Company: Monterey Financial Services LLC (AZ)

To whom it may concern, I am writing to address an issue regarding a timeshare purchase my husband and I made in XX/XX/XXXX. After entering into a high-pressure sales presentation, we immediately regretted our decision and attempted to cancel the purchase, but we were unable to do so. Subsequently, the debt was initially reflected on our credit reports, and I can provide specific dates at a later time. However, for reasons unknown to us, the debt was subsequently removed from our credit report for a period of at least 1-2 years. 

Unexpectedly, on XX/XX/XXXX, we received a credit alert to the collection item ; the debt reappeared on our credit reports, with the amount more than doubling from the original debt. We have an invoice dated XX/XX/XXXX, indicating an amount of {$13000.00}, yet the reported amount on our credit report this month exceeds {$27000.00}. This debt has surpassed the statute of limitations for Arizona. Additionally, there is also some legal language associated with New Jersey, but the statute of limitations has also expired in that state. Please advise.

My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with 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 in 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 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
