Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Lockhart, Morris & Montgomery Inc. (FL)

I inquired a copy of my equivalent report when I had an alert that my credit score had decreased. I then noticed a new collection account from Lockhart , Morris & Montgomery for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$920.00} date opened XX/XX/2023 past due as of XX/XX/2023. Before a debt collector can report your debt to XXXX or other reporting agencies they need to contact me by phone, mail a letter and wait 14 days for response, or email the customer and wait 14 days. Then if they contact consumer they send a validation notice about the debt and then they can proceed to report the debt to the credit reporting companies. Lockhart failed to follow the appropriate steps and I was not aware of this account being reported. Therefore I am requesting this debt be removed from the credit reporting agencies since the debt was not validated. Additionally, I am allowed under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPPA ) To protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I do not recall giving permission to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX For them to release my medical information to a third party. I am aware that the HIPPA does allow for limited information about me but anything more is to only be revealed with my signature.

My wife and I opened a joint premium rewards XXXX credit card with Bank of America based on their advertised promotions, including {$100.00} of annual credit towards airline incidentals.

After we were not credited for the {$38.00} in purchases, I called BofA. I was told it could take up to XXXX weeks to post. After it did not post, I submitted claim # XXXX. I was told this claim could take until XX/XX/XXXX to complete, and when I checked on XX/XX/XXXX, there was still no credit. I called back again to BofA, and was told my claim was denied because my purchase was not an in-flight food/beverage purchase, and I was also told there was an email sent to me explaining this on XX/XX/XXXX. Unfortunately, both of these are incorrect.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

XXXX, XXXX, & Equifax continue to report incorrect information on my consumer report. I have previously reported this information and the consumer agencies stated they verified the information but did not provide me with any further information on how they completed their investigation. It is my belief they did not complete an investigation but just stated they did. This has caused me to file for arbitration seeking damages. The account listed as XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX has several late payments that is not correct. 

XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XX/XX/year> Equifax XX/XX/year> XX/XX/year> XX/XX/year> These late payments are not matching so it can not be accurate so tell me how did you complete the investigation when you can not even report the same information for the account. 

( 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. 

( b ) Grace period If an open end consumer credit plan provides a time period within which an obligor may repay any portion of the credit extended without incurring an additional finance charge, such additional finance charge may not be imposed with respect to such portion of the credit extended for the billing cycle of which such period is a part, unless a statement which includes the amount upon which the finance charge for the period is based was mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the date specified in the statement by which payment must be made in order to avoid imposition of that finance charge.

Over the past several months I have been going back and forth with XXXX in regards to inaccurate information on my credit report. Throughout this time I have suffered sleepless nights, XXXX XXXX XXXX  because of this situation. XXXX has been reporting inaccurate, invalidated and unverifiable items on my credit report. I have requested a reinvestigation in regards to these items but here we are 6 months later and the information still is inaccurate. At this time, I am again asking the CFPB to help me get this inaccurate information removed from my credit report. 


In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report and Under 15 U.S Code 1681 e ( B ) and 15 U.S Code 1681 these accounts are in violation of not reporting 100 % accurate.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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 ( XXXX ) 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 inquiries I didn't consent to and personal information 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 never consented to these inquiries and did not provide written consent to report them List all inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that I authorized or consented to these inquiries or personal information and proof that I authorized the reporting of this information. If proof can not be provided I demand these inquiries and personal information be deleted. 
Adjust accordingly if there is no inquiries or personal information to be deleted
