Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 paymen t reported in 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 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 previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NH)

On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a 605B deletion request to Equifax through CFPB complaint # XXXX. This request included all necessary documentation, such as a sworn crime report, proof of identity, and proof of address, to block fraudulent information from my credit report due to identity theft. However, as of today, no action has been taken on my request, which should have been processed within XXXX business days according to FCRA Section 605B. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Equifax and spoke with Supervisor Sham ( Case # XXXX ) to follow up on the status of my 605B deletion request. I was informed that the dispute was still under investigation. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called again and spoke with Supervisor XXXX ( XXXX # XXXX ), who also told me that the investigation was ongoing. I reminded him that FCRA 605B mandates no further investigation is required from creditors once a sworn identity theft affidavit and supporting documentation are submitted. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a supervisor named XXXX ( XXXX # XXXX ), who claimed to be the highest-level authority available to discuss my case. XXXX informed me that my 605B identity theft dispute could not be blocked, and I would need to wait for 30 days for the investigation to close. I explained that, per the law, the investigation should not be necessary for a 605B deletion request, but he said there was nothing more he could do.

This raises serious concerns about the handling of my 605B request, as I believe it is being improperly treated as a standard dispute rather than an identity theft deletion request, which should have been addressed within XXXX business days. Additionally, I believe this failure to act violates FCRA Section 605B. 

Furthermore, I have submitted complaints to credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) regarding accounts that are the result of identity theft and should not be on my report. These accounts were allegedly " verified '' without any transparency regarding the sources used for verification. Under FCRA 611, I request that the CRAs provide the sources of information they relied upon in verifying these disputed accounts. If the CRAs can not produce valid sources, I demand that all contested items be removed from my credit report, as required by law.

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.

I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.
