" 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. List all accounts : " XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, I purchased a used vehicle and XXXX XXXX was the chosen financial company. Every since I have started making my payments, I have gone online and schedule my payments, the funds leave my account 3 days later and it is posted on my account page with this company as being completed. Since I am refusing to talk to them to schedule my payments, they have been sending false information to the 3 credit bureaus ' stating that my payments are XXXX, XXXX and 90 days late. When I reported them to XXXX, I was sent a letter telling me that even though it shows on my account on their website as my payments being completed, they are trying to tell me that they didn't receive my payments until 3 months later. That is false. I have tried to trade this vehicle in so that I can get out from under them, they block me by reporting false information about my payments. When I tried to refinance my vehicle through another company, they block me by reporting that I have missed payments, that I am behind in my payments, knowing that these companies will turn my request down. I have tried to straighten this out with the company through XXXX  but again, they are refusing to correct their false information and they continue to harass me by calling my phone twice a day, leaving messages wanting me to call them about my past due payments. They some how got my XXXX  phone number and started calling and leaving messages on his phone. He is XXXX XXXX XXXX. If I was behind like they claim, why do I still have my vehicle? The proof of their lies is on my account under " XXXX XXXX '' but they all need to be fired at this company since none of them can see the truth that is on my account page. I want their lies, harassment and false information to be corrected so that I can get out from under them. This company doesn't need to be in business at all. I have also found other people that was under them stating that they were done the same way. I will continue scheduling my payments online until they block me from that way again. I want out from under this company and if I have to hire an attorney to sue them, I will.

I used my Discover debit card for a purchase of an item from a merchant called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$110.00}. 

This merchant ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) never sent me the item I purchased and was not responsive to my repeated emails requesting a status update. 

So I contacted Discover on XX/XX/XXXX to report that the merchant did not deliver and requested a provisional credit and investigation. However, Discover replied that they were unable to do that under Reg E for my debit card purchase. 

This was disappointing to me because Discover previously gave me a provisional credit for a debit card purchase from a merchant who did not deliver in XXXX of XXXX under Reg Z. 

Furthermore, Discover claimed that they changed their policy and they no longer provide Reg Z provisional credits and investigations for debit card purchases. 

Had I known that my purchase with my Discover debit card was not protected under Reg Z, I never would have made it.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX 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

This situation has left me feeling both disadvantaged and apprehensive, especially because this inaccuracy is hindering my efforts to secure new lines of credit. Regrettably, lenders have repeatedly rejected my applications based on my tarnished credit profile.
