I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

XXXX and the credit reporting agencies has violated multiple laws that pertaining to my right to fair and accurate reporting. 15 U.S.C 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) states that the consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences ( payment history, charge off status ), between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( XXXX ) making the report. 15 U.S.C 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) states that a person ( XXXX ) shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer ( myself ) to any credit reporting agency ( XXXX, Transunion, XXXX ) if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. By XXXX reporting on their transactions between themselves and I this would automatically make the the report inaccurate. Yet XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX continue to report this on my credit report.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice 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.

My account with 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 XX/XX/2024 XX/XX/2024, XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/2024 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 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!

" 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 ( CHANGE TO NAME OF BANK ACCOUNT ). 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.
