Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and frustration regarding the multiple unsuccessful attempts I have made to remove fraudulent items from my Credit Report. I believe it is essential to address this matter promptly and seek a resolution to rectify this ongoing issue.

I want to emphasize that I have followed all the prescribed procedures outlined by your company for reporting and removing fraudulent items. However, despite my repeated efforts, the issue remains unresolved, and the fraudulent items continue to affect my credit scores.

The persistence of these fraudulent items has not only caused me financial distress but has also eroded my trust. As a loyal customer, I had expected a higher level of service and security, which has regrettably been lacking in this situation.

I kindly request that you take immediate action to investigate and rectify this matter. I expect a timely response, detailing the steps your company will take to resolve the issue, as well as a clear timeline for the resolution process. Additionally, I urge you to strengthen your security measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future and to consider compensating me for the inconvenience and stress caused. 

If my concerns are not addressed satisfactorily and promptly, I may have no choice but to escalate this matter further by seeking legal remedies and notifying relevant authorities about the fraudulent activities.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty.

Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 in XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX 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. 


FIRST 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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

I have been disputing multiple accounts with XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion since XX/XX/XXXX. I disputed a charged off account from a company called XXXX XXXX  that is still showing a balance owed after selling the debt to a collection agency/debt buyer back in XXXX. This account had discrepancies across all XXXX Bureaus during my initial dispute and was still reporting a payment history as of XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX and XXXX have been updating this account for 4 years consecutively, violating my statute of limitations and refusing to provide proper investigation results/details. 

I also disputed an account with XXXX XXXX  XXXX. & XXXX, the collection agency, that also had discrepancies across all XXXX Bureaus. This account was showing a positive payment history with XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX with no date of delinquency, while XXXX shows this as a delinquent account ; it is obvious there was not a thorough investigation completed. 

I also disputed an account with XXXX. XXXX, XXXX which was removed from my XXXX report because it was unverifiable. Transunion is reporting this same account and claims to have " verified '' it and has not provided me with any supporting documents. 

I also disputed another account with XXXX. XXXX XXXX with XXXX that has been repeatedly charged off and reporting a payment history since XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, I have yet to receive any supporting documents proofing validity of this account. 

I have sent at least XXXX rounds of letters for each account, and I continue to receive a generic response in regard to these accounts saying that it has been " verified ''. It is ABUNDANTLY CLEAR there are no real investigations being conducted and my credit is suffering as a result of their negligence.

I am writing to address some inconsistencies that I have identified in my personal credit report. These inaccuracies are having a significant impact on my financial standing, particularly in relation to my ability to own a home. While I understand that errors can occur, I have researched the dispute process and am aware of the required investigation time-frame of thirty days. 
The other bureaus have already removed these accounts from their records, following the submission of my FTC report citing the identification of an error. I am puzzled as to how these accounts were verified by your bureau while other bureaus have successfully removed them. Therefore, I request the immediate deletion of these accounts from my file as they are inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

I would like to bring your attention to the following errors : XXXX - XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX  XXXX XXXX.

In XXXX of 2022  Citizens Bank, where I bank, offered a " Cash Back + '' credit card with the following perks. {$200.00} cash back bonus after charging {$500.00} in the first 90 days, plus another cash back bonus for the cost of a TSA PreCheck up to {$100.00}. I completed both of these tasks within the allotted time frame, charging {$720.00} on XXXX XXXX2022 and purchasing the TSA PreCheck on XXXX XXXX,2022. To date I have not received either of the promised awards, it has been nearly five months. I have visited the branch several times and sat with them as they had a live chat with credit card customer service at which time they stated they would apply for the rebates to my account. I also called customer service and experienced long waits on hold then when a person finally answered we were cut off half way through the conversation. This happened twice. It has been over three months since the local branch employee had the live chat and still nothing has been applied to my account. I am attaching a copy of the offer, although it says expired on top it was active when I applied for and received my card.
