I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary XXXX notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.

RE : Discrepancy in Credit Report Listings XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) I am writing to formally raise a concern regarding a discrepancy in the reporting of my credit account ( # XXXX ) across the three major credit bureaus - XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX XXXX My recent review of my credit reports revealed inconsistent information regarding the open date of this account. XXXX 's report shows an open date of XX/XX/2020, while Equifax reports the open date as XX/XX/2020 and XXXX is reporting XX/XX/2020 also .This inconsistency is concerning and, as per my understanding, violates the principles of accuracy and completeness as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Under 15 USC 1681 ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 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. I have previously disputed this information, but the discrepancy was reported as validated and the inaccuracy remains on my credit reports. This is not only misleading but potentially damaging to my credit standing. The FCRA stipulates that all information on credit reports must be accurate and complete, and up-to-date. The current reporting fails to meet these standards.Therefore, I request an immediate deletion of the account. The importance of precise and consistent credit reporting can not be overstated, as it directly impacts my creditworthiness and financial reputation.Please find attached copies of the credit reports from XXXX, XXXX and Equifax, highlighting the discrepancy for your reference. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. I expect a prompt response to this letter, confirming the commencement of the investigation and the actions being taken to rectify this discrepancy. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

In XXXX of this year, I purchased a laptop computer from XXXX XXXX and utilized your credit card service for installment payments with zero interest charges. I made timely payments for the first two installments, as evidenced by the enclosed documents dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2023. 
However, unknowingly, these payments were directed towards my old XXXX XXXX account. 

Upon being informed of the mistake, I contacted XXXX XXXX, and their representative attempted to transfer the payments to my current account, number ending XXXX Unfortunately, due to system limitations, they were unable to process the transfer and instead issued a refund check to me for the total amount of {$110.00}, dated XX/XX/2023. Subsequently, I promptly reissued the payment to the correct account on XX/XX/2023, in the same amount. 

I was explicitly assured by XXXX XXXX representatives that this incident would not impact my credit rating due to the error being rectified. However, to my dismay, I observed my credit report drastically decline from XXXX to XXXX following the reporting of two delinquencies XXXX XXXX Upon contacting XXXX XXXX again, I was informed that they were unable to rectify the information provided to the credit reporting agencies, despite assurances of resolution within 40 days. The subsequent letter received on XX/XX/XXXX was equally disheartening, confirming the inability to amend the reported data. 

Enclosed are all necessary documents, including copies of the refund check, subsequent payment, and evidence of the initial timely payments, to support my appeal. This discrepancy has adversely affected my career prospects, impeding my ability to secure employment in an industry where I have accumulated over 30 years of experience. 

I urge you to help rectify this grave error promptly and restore my credit to its prior standing before this unfortunate incident. I implore for corrective action to be taken swiftly to alleviate the unjust ramifications on my credit rating, as I am striving to resolve this issue amicably without resorting to legal involvement.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history withXX/XX/XXXXXXXX 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 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!

I reviewed my consumer reports and noticed that I had two late payments on an account that i was never late for. The consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum accuracy. I have never been late on payments for the accounts that I have included screenshot inside this complaint in on dates of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that these payments were late. If proof can't be provided I demand these payments be updated to paid as agreed on time as they should be due to the fact I was never late. Thanks! Please see screenshot attached :

I am writing in response to the recent communication I received from your company regarding the collection of a debt. I would like to bring to your attention that I have not entered into any contractual agreement with your company, nor have I authorized the transfer of my debt from the original creditor. 

It has come to my attention that you have purchased the debt from Cap One. While I acknowledge that there may be an outstanding debt, I must emphasize that your company does not have any legal right to collect this debt from me. 

I kindly request that you provide me with proper documentation proving your legal authority to collect this debt. This includes a signed agreement or contract between your company and myself, clearly indicating my consent to transfer the debt to your organization. If you fail to provide such documentation, I must insist that you cease all collection activities and remove any negative remarks or listings related to this debt from my credit report. 

Please consider this letter as my formal dispute of the debt and a request for verification of its validity. I also request that you provide me with a written response within 30 days of receiving this letter, confirming the actions you have taken to resolve this matter. Failure to respond within the given timeframe will be interpreted as an acknowledgment of the debt 's invalidity and will result in further actions to protect my rights. 

I would like to remind you that it is your legal obligation to adhere to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and all other applicable laws and regulations governing debt collection. Any violation of these laws will not be taken lightly, and I reserve the right to pursue legal action if necessary. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution. Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the phone number or email address provided above. 

Thank you for your cooperation.
