Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

While working with a mortgage underwriter to purchase a home, I discovered that my identity had been stolen. Several fraudulent accounts, including personal loans and credit cards, had been opened in my name without my knowledge. Before this, I wasnt educated about credit management and did little to understand my consumer score. This discovery was shocking and derailed my home-buying process, but it also forced me to confront gaps in my financial knowledge. Since then, Ive protected my credit and learned more about my financial health. This experience, while distressing, has made me more resilient and financially aware.

My accounts 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 to be removed/updated.

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.

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!

Notice for the agent is notice for the principal applies under this notice This letter serves as my formal dispute regarding the repeated and knowingly false reporting of my XXXX XXXX account status. Despite previous attempts to resolve this issue, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX continues to report my account as late and past due even after it has been charged off. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, which mandates that furnishers of credit information report accurately.

Violation of FCRA and Intentional Misreporting Under the FCRA, furnishers are required to update and correct inaccurate information. XXXX XXXX  XXXX has knowingly failed to fulfill this obligation, engaging in misleading and damaging behavior. Reporting an account as late after it has been charged off creates ambiguity, which has materially impacted my creditworthiness and caused significant financial and emotional harm. 
The case of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, establishes that a furnishers failure to conduct a reasonable investigation after receiving notice of a dispute from a credit reporting agency violates the FCRA, making them liable for damages. Additionally, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, highlights that ambiguous reporting tactics can result in willful noncompliance.

Prior Notifications and Inaction This is my third written dispute regarding this issue. Each time, your organization has acknowledged receipt but failed to resolve or rectify the situation in a timely manner, as required by the FCRA. Despite my documented efforts, XXXX XXXX  XXXX continues to report erroneous information, directly violating Federal Trade Commission guidelines on data furnishers. 
Demand for Compensation and Immediate Rectification Given the ongoing damage to my credit score, emotional well-being, and financial standing, I am seeking the following : Immediate correction of the account reporting to reflect its accurate status post-charge-off without indicating past due balances.

Compensation in the amount of {$5000.00} for noncompliance, negligent misrepresentation, and emotional distress as stipulated under XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. 
A written apology acknowledging the failure to comply with the FCRA and your legal responsibilities. 
Failure to comply within 10 business days will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter through formal complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and file a civil suit under the FCRA for damages. I expect prompt action to resolve this issue and avoid further escalation. 

Please send all responses to : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Sincerely, XXXX XXXX [ XXXX ] without prejudice, all natural inalienable rights reserved.
