My grandfather passed away recently and I have been under a lot of stress. For the first time in years, I missed one payment on a credit card which was the XXXX  card. It was for {$40.00}, and I never would have missed a {$40.00} payment had I not been going through what I was going through personally. I contacted XXXX and Told them about the situation, and promptly paid off the entire balance not just the past payment. They removed the late fee, which now brings my balance to negative {$40.00} or {$40.00} in credit. If you look at my past record of late payments on any of my accounts you will not see any late payments related to any of my credit card accounts. All three of my credit scores went down tremendously due to one late payment. I contacted XXXX and XXXX and provided them with the new balance and the information given by XXXX. However, my credit score has yet to improve. I have been locked out of the TransUnion account for the 5th or 6th time, therefore I've had no communication at all from them. This is absolutely ridiculous that that my credit score dropped XXXX points over one late payment and they are so quick to drop your score, yet don't raise it again when you give them proof of what occurred. The credit bureaus are a scam. I also pay a fee every month for experience and have added numerous bills to their boost program, and not one time has my score risen. It is absolutely ridiculous what they do to people, especially those dealing with a close relative that passed away who is already going through a very hard time in their life.

My account with EQUIFAX 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 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING 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. 


EQUIFAX 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 am now demanding the immediate and complete removal of this account from my credit reports As I am currently attempting to apply for credit, time is of the essence. Please understand that I am extremely concerned about the consequences of the actions your firm is having on my life. 
The lawsuit will be filed due to the utter lack of response from your company. When someone is the victim of identity theft, it is simply a nightmare trying to get false information removed from a credit file. I have contacted all of the false creditors listed on my credit file. I have challenged all of the false listings on my credit file. Nothing ever happens to fix the situation. 
Over 90 days ago I wrote each the creditors in question and demanded proof that I am their customer. I asked for proof of the alleged debt, including specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. So far none of them has been able to provide such proof to me. I have sent follow- up letters to each of them and there is still no proof. I have attempted phone contact, but I simply get transferred around and nothing ever gets accomplished.

I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, TransUnion has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.
