Company: WAKEFIELD & ASSOCIATES, INC. (GA)

Good afternoon, I have made several attempts to get validity of the accounts from Wakefield & Associates. They have 3 accounts listed on my credit and when I disputed this on several occasions they would never provide me proof of the debt. As I stated to them I have never signed an agreement with them and to please provide me proof of an agreement. I have issues because they were initially charging me interest on a debt that they would not validate. Finally the other week they decreased the interest off of the debt, but to no avail they have not sent me anything to validate this agreement I supposed to have with them. I am asking that they send me copies of agreements signed by me or delete this off my credit. They are causing my credit score to decrease everytime they add interest on this debt in which can not be verified. Please help me with having this company send me contracts in which I signed otherwise I want this removed from my credit and to cease from adding interest on a charge that has not been validated. How can you charge interest on an account that you can't validate and then send a message back saying you are reporting according to the FCRA guidelines. I have rights as a consumer and I am asking for documented proof of this debt and a signed agreement in which Wakefield & Associates and I have ever had an agreement.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

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 :

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ). I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record.

My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized.

I recently discovered that my creditor failed to provide the required XXXX notice before the payment due date, along with the statement that outlines my balance and due amount. This notice period is critical because it ensures that I have adequate time to review my statement, arrange for payment, and avoid any late fees. 

Due to this oversight, I was not given sufficient time to make my payment on time. As a result, the creditor charged me late fees, and it now appears as though I did not pay my bill when, in fact, I was not given the opportunity to do so within the proper timeframe. This situation arose due to the creditor 's failure to follow the proper notification procedures, and it is their mistake that has caused this issue. 

I expect that, given this error, the creditor will rectify the situation by waiving any associated late fees and adjusting my payment record to reflect that this delay was due to their non-compliance with the XXXX notice requirement, not my negligence.
