Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (SC)

This is concerning reports showing on credit profile showing of late payments on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX account beginning in XXXX when I never received notice of a due date. I am disputing the late payments on my credit card account for the months of XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX of the year 2023. I believe these charges are unfair because I never received a notice of due date within 21 days before the due date, as required by Section 1666b.

If you are unable to provide this proof, I request that you remove the late payments for these months. I have been a responsible customer and have made my payments on time. I believe it is unfair to penalize me for your company 's failure to provide proper notice.

Please investigate this matter and take corrective action as soon as possible.

XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Cease and Desist Notification under Section XXXX of the FDCPA To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally request that you immediately cease all communication with me regarding the alleged debt associated with account, as provided under Section XXXX ( 15 U.S.C. 1692c ) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Section XXXX of the FDCPA clearly prohibits further communication concerning the debt, including any communication through written correspondence, phone calls, emails, or other mediums, as defined by Section XXXX ( XXXX ). This includes indirect communications, such as updating or reporting information about the debt on my consumer credit reports. 

Additionally, as this debt is either inaccurate, unverified, or no longer valid, I am requesting that you delete any record of this debt from all consumer reporting agencies to which you have reported it. Failure to do so would be a violation of both the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Continuing to report an unverified or disputed debt after this notice can be interpreted as harassment and an unfair practice under federal law. 

I demand that you : XXXX. Immediately cease all communication with me regarding this alleged debt. 
XXXX. Remove the debt from all consumer credit reporting agencies where you have reported this information. 

You may only contact me to inform me of your intention to either cease collection activities or to pursue specific legal remedies, as permitted under Section XXXX ( c ) of the FDCPA. Failure to comply with this request or the deletion of the debt from my credit report may result in further action, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and other legal actions to enforce my rights under the FDCPA and FCRA. 

Please confirm your compliance in writing within XXXX  days of receiving this notice. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Recently I looked at a copy of my credit report and noticed several inaccuracies on my account which is making it impossible to obtain credit. It is unclear when this account was charged off because different dates were reported. And this account has repeatedly been updated as a charged off every month. This is an update in the payment history and a charged off account should only include an active payment history. This inaccurate information falsely manipulates the statute of limitations. It is my understanding that the credit bureaus will investigate this account for me to ensure accuracy. Here is the account I am asking you to verify as accurate : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I am writing to formally dispute a debt claim made by XXXX XXXX XXXX  regarding an account with the original creditor XXXX XXXX, in the amount of {$270.00}. I believe this debt claim is erroneous and have not been provided with proof of the alleged debt. Under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, as established in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am presuming that no proof of the alleged debt exists, and therefore, the debt itself does not exist. Despite my requests, XXXX XXXX XXXX has not supplied sufficient documentation or evidence to substantiate the debt. As such, I am requesting that this matter be investigated and that appropriate actions be taken to ensure that my rights are protected under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Despite their claim, XXXX XXXX XXXX has not fulfilled the requirements to substantiate the alleged debt. Specifically : 1. Lack of Original Contract or Agreement : XXXX XXXX XXXX has not provided a copy of the original contract or agreement that I allegedly signed, which would demonstrate my legal obligation to repay the debt. 2. Insufficient Account History : The documentation provided does not include a detailed account history that shows the transactions, charges, fees, and payments applied to the alleged debt. A full itemization is necessary to verify the validity and amount of the debt. 3. Failure to Provide Proof of Assignment : If XXXX XXXX XXXX is not the original creditor, they have not provided evidence of a legitimate assignment or transfer of the debt that establishes their legal right to collect it. This includes any documentation that demonstrates a proper chain of title from the original creditor to XXXX XXXX XXXX.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion XXXX a late payment reported by XXXX  XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Made on Time : According to my records, the payment in question was made on time. Attached, I have included my bank statements showing that the payment was processed and cleared before the due date.

Clerical Error : It appears there may have been a clerical error in how the payment was recorded by the creditor. I have verified the payment confirmation from my online banking records, which shows the payment date and the amount, indicating the account was paid in full on time.

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I recently received a copy of my credit report, and I notice there is an unauthorized credit inquiry made by the company listed above. To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the company in question to view my credit report. The listed inquiry was without authorization, and for no legitimate business purposes.

As part of your investigation, please send the names, business addresses, and phone numbers of those who made unauthorized credit inquiries so I may contact them directly.

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmatio
