I found out the creditor didn't give the required 21-day notice with a statement. This would've let me pay on time and avoid late fees. This error made it seem like I didn't pay when I should have, which is the creditor 's mistake.

I am filing this complaint against Credit Reporting Agencies and Companies for violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), codified as 15 U.S.C. 1681. Specifically, the agencies and companies has reported outdated and inaccurate information on my credit report without my written consent, which is a clear violation of my federally protected consumer rights. 

Violation of Privacy Rights : Under the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681b, a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a consumer report without the consumers written consent unless it is for a permissible purpose as defined by the Act. The outdated information reported on my credit report was furnished without my explicit written consent, violating my right to privacy and the confidentiality of my personal information. 

Violation of Consumer Rights : As stipulated in 15 U.S.C. 1681c, the FCRA imposes strict guidelines on the reporting of obsolete information. Specifically, information that is outdated and beyond the permissible reporting period should not be included in consumer reports. The account in question is old and should not be reported. 

The following entities, including the major credit reporting agenciesExperian, XXXX, and XXXXand the specific companies listed on my credit report, have played roles in the inaccuracies I am disputing : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

" 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.

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OR)

I am filing this complaint because the reported debt is erroneous on several grounds. Firstly, the debt appears to be a duplicate entry, causing an inflated total balance that misrepresents my financial situation. Additionally, the report contains missing information that impacts its accuracy, such as omitted payments and transactions. My personal information is incorrectly listed, adding to the confusion and potential mix-up with another individual 's debt. Unauthorized charges have been included in the debt, which I have not consented to. The creditor has failed to provide proof of the debt 's validity or any contractual obligations that bear my wet signature. The reported balance owed is incorrect, and the payment history is inaccurately portrayed, showing late payments where timely payments were made. These cumulative errors violate the Federal Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and necessitate immediate correction to reflect an accurate and fair credit report.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

I have an account with Experian so I can monitor my credit. 

Given the recent XXXX XXXX I went in to " lock '' my credit. When searching for this option in the interface, whenever I search for " credit lock '' the site takes me to their PAID service ( $ XXXX ). I know that I can lock my credit with the credit agencies ( Experian, XXXX XXXX XXXX ) for free but it was not readily apparent given the way they have their site setup. THIS IS CLEARLY INTENTIONAL. 

After taking more time to figure this out, it turns out that Experian has decided the " credit locks '' on their site refer to their PAID service. The term for what has traditionally been called a " credit lock '' on their site has been renamed a " credit freeze ''. 

This is neither a trivial nor innocent change. AGAIN, THIS IS CLEARLY INTENTIONAL. Their clear intention is to confuse people and to funnel them to their ridiculously overpriced, PAID service ( at a highway-robbery rate of $ XXXX. ) rather than provide clear, easy access to " locking '' your credit. 

This is not right. This is EXACTLY the kind of XXXX  that these companies pull. Obviously this didn't work with me, because I knew I could lock my credit for free, but how many people have fallen for this scam!?!?!?!

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
