XXXX can not collect on a XXXX debt. This is considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS, and income can not be reported. The IRS defines a charge-off as Gross or Ordinary income, which is not reported on the consumer report, making the reporting of this account inaccurate. This is unsatisfactory! 

XXXX has been HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE that they are furnishing incorrect inaccurate information. In XXXX 's terms and conditions, they agreed not to share my information with non-affiliates. XXXX, Experian and XXXX are not affiliates of XXXX nor are they " bureaus ''. The only true credit bureau is the CFPB, and they DO NOT furnish consumer reports as stated in federal law.

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!
