Hello and Good Day I reached out to Equifax credit bureau through certified mail to dispute this matter which I am unaware of. I have also submitted a copy of my Fraud police report to them. When I realized this account was on my credit report I took action right away, since I didn't recognize it. I wanted them to verify through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract under the fair credit reporting act section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Which they are required by federal law to verify. 

The account is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) {$3100.00} Equifax has not XXXX Attached are copies of disputes letters that I have sent out as well as a copies of my fraud report ( I have sent XXXX rounds of copies and I'm not sure why they have not properly verified the account ). Each round of dispute letters were signed and notarized before being sent out, totaling XXXX letters. Because of this grave error it has cost me dearly with trying to buy a home as well as my job. None of the reporting agencies have done their job under the Fair Credit Report act ( all they responded saying was that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) {$3100.00} was verified either by a data agency or data furnisher which is against federal law, they are not following the FCRA, I have not seen the original consumer contract ). Please let me know. Thank you for your time in this matter.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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 that are reported 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. 


XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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

On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a complaint through the CFPB complaint # XXXX stating that XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX was using Color of Law to not only publicize and furnish inaccurate and private information but also that the information is FRAUDULENT and that has resulted from its own acts of FRAUD and IDENTITY THEFT as defined by 15 USC 1681 a ( q ) using extortionate means to collect on debts not owed which is a crime. I have made XXXX XXXX aware numerous of times that the transactions were unauthorized which the CFPB has sued XXXX XXXX for in XXXX File No : XXXX. In the attachment provided I asked that the company provide proof it acted with lawful authority when it obtained and shared my information to consumer reporting agencies, and they failed to do so. Instead, they responded to the CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX stating that the complaint is in progress, and on XX/XX/XXXX mailed a attached letter to my home stating the same thing in addition to numerous phone calls asking about the detains of FRAUDULENT XXXX. I have put this company on notice and have filed a valid FTC complaint which is also attached, however they have failed to remove this tradeline from all three of my consumer reports which is another federal violation 15 USC 1681 s-1 ( a ) ( B ) which clearly states : If a consumer submits an identity theft report to a person who furnishes information to a consumer reporting agency the person may not furnish such information that purports to relate to the consumer to any consumer reporting agency unless the person subsequently knows or is informed by the consumer that the information is correct.

Company: AVANTE (FL)

A company out of XXXX, TX has called me repetitively for several months now. I finally answered to see who they are because they never leave a message. After answering this time, I was greeted by a person on the other end telling me the call was being recorded, I refused to let them record me and asked who they were. 

I learned they are a company called AvanteUSA but they refused to give me any other information until I agreed for them to record the call. I never did agree, they hung up on me. 

After a quick XXXX search, I found out they are a collection agency. The problem with that is I do not owe anyone money. This leads me to believe that they are using old debts that were forgiven/paid so they can try to collect on them anyways or they're fabricating debts to attempt to con people out of money. Either way, this would most likely indicate someone working for XXXX or XXXX is illegally providing information to them. That said, the last debts I accrued were medical and though they never appeared on my credit, they were late due to delays and were eventually paid for by XXXX. This was well over a year ago. 

Being on XXXX and XXXX, over the years there's been attempts to scam me from collection agencies, doctors, medical facilities, and every other scam you can think of that targets disabled Americans and though annoying, I've learned that if I ignore them, they eventually go away. But that is not the case with AvanteUSA as the calls have been coming in for months now even though they've never attempted to contact me by mail. That tells me they do not have anything other than my name and phone number along with some information on an old debt that has been paid off and they are trying to collect on it which leads me to believe they are one of those 'bad actors ' that the CFPB has instructed the public to report. 

Please do not provide my address to this company because I do not know who they are or who gave them my information. As well I am not asking for the CFPB to act as a mediator because I have no reason at all for this company to be contacting me. Instead, I'm asking the CFPB to open a full investigation into this company and if you can validate any claims they have against me, then and only then will I ask for mediation provided by the CFPB.
