Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

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.

Since the inception of the loan, I make my payments on the Carrington website between the XXXX and XXXX of each month. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made an online payment on the Carrington website as I had always done in the past. As far as I was concerned, the payment was processed successfully. On XX/XX/2022 I received a call from a Carrington rep who informed me that they didn't receive the XXXX payment. I informed her that I made a payment online. She put me on hold and researched as to what transpired. She said that their system was down on the day that I attempted to make the payment, and that my payment was not processed successfully. She assured me that if I make a payment immediately, there won't be any late fees or late reporting. I made the payment on the spot and yet I was reported 30 days late on my credit. Please correct the reporting as promised!!! There was a glitch in Carrington 's payment processing system as confirmed by their rep and I shouldn't be held responsible for an error that occurred on their end. This was a bank error, and I am being penalized for something that was out of my control!

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MO)

Dear WFC, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and the Missouri Credit Reporting Act.

It has unequivocally come to my attention that WFC has already engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law provides specific protections for consumers regarding credit reporting. These laws emphasize the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting and establish clear guidelines for the fair reporting of consumer credit information. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for WFC to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 
I demand, with the utmost certainty, that WFC immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and the Missouri Credit Reporting Act. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that WFC will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Dear Experian, I hope this letter finds you well. I recently obtained a copy of my credit report and noticed multiple discrepancies, including unauthorized inquiries and conflicting information on the same accounts across the credit bureaus. 

These discrepancies include differing account numbers, dates of last activity, last payment dates, balances, account statuses, and original balances. The listed accounts are as follows : XXXX XXXX CARD SERVICE Important dates Inquiry date XX/XX/year> XXXX - XXXX Important dates Inquiry date XX/XX/year> XXXX  Important dates Inquiry date XX/XX/year> XXXXXXXX XXXX  Important dates Inquiry date XX/XX/year> I request that you provide me with complete documentation related to these accounts. This should include the original contract bearing my wet signature, full transaction history from the date of account opening to the present or closure, and any other documentation used to verify the accuracy of the accounts. 

I want to remind you of your obligations under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), which necessitates following reasonable procedures to assure the maximum accuracy of the information relating to the individual on the report. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), in the event of any disputed information being found inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during any reinvestigation, the consumer reporting agency must promptly delete or modify that information and notify the furnisher about this alteration or deletion. 
As such, I expect a thorough investigation into this matter. If you're unable to provide verifiable proof within 15 business days after your investigation, the disputed accounts and/or the listed information must be removed. 

Enclosed you will find copies of my ID and a utility bill for identity and address verification. 

Looking forward to your prompt attention to this matter.

I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.
