Company: ProCollect, Inc. (NC)

ProCollect has never communicated or billed me ; however, the collections company has continued to submit an unknown 15-year old debt of {$160.00} to the credit bureaus. The collections account was added to my XXXX credit report in XX/XX/XXXX, which was subsequently disputed and deleted. Six months later, in XX/XX/XXXX the collections company added the same collections account to my XXXX and XXXX credit reports. 

I do not owe this {$160.00} debt. Even if by some mistake the 15-year old debt was valid, it would have been first delinquent in XXXX ( not XXXX as ProCollect is reporting to the credit bureau ) . This was 15-years ago and should not be filed with credit bureaus. 

A screenshot from my XXXX credit report is attached. Below are my comments specific to the unknown 15-year old debt of {$160.00} : I am unfamiliar with ProCollect, and I have never heard from them. 
I am unfamiliar with XXXX  XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor ), and I have never heard from them. 
It looks like XXXX  XXXX XXXX, based on online research, is now at an apartment I lived at in XXXX, Florida from XXXX to XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 
My lease ended with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, and my balance was paid in full 15-years ago. I have never heard from the apartment complex since my lease ended in XXXX. 
Even if by some mistake the 15-year old debt of {$160.00} was valid, it would have been first delinquent in XXXX ( not XXXX as ProCollect is reporting to the credit bureau ) . 
I owned a home in Georgia in XXXX. 

I will continue to dispute this time-after-time as ProCollect continue to submit this unknown 15-year old debt of {$160.00} to the credit bureaus. 

I ask the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to please help stop ProCollect from trying to harm my credit for this unknown 15-year old debt of {$160.00}. 

Thank you.

My account with XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with 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 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 am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

" 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.
