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

My account with XXXX XXXX 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 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 in months that are reported late to be removed. 

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. 


XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (TX)

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally dispute certain information on my credit report based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The specific sections I am referencing include : 15 USC 1681 Section 602 - This section establishes my right to privacy. The information being reported violates this right as it inaccurately represents my financial behaviors. 

1

5 USC 1681 Section 604 - According to this section, a consumer reporting agency may not furnish a report without my written instruction. I have not provided such instruction for the items I am disputing. 15 USC 1666B - This section states that a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit report for any reason. The items I am disputing seem to violate this provision. 

The following items on my credit report are inaccurate and need to be addressed : ALLY FINANCIAL - Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX I ask that they be removed or corrected on my credit report. If these items are verified, I request written documentation that confirms their accuracy. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I trust that the CFPB will ensure my rights under the FCRA are upheld and that this dispute will be handled with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

My student loan that has been PAID IN FULL continues to be passed around. One company said they stopped servicing it and gave it to another. Another company said they had it for a short while and now don't know where it has gone. One company said they got it because it was in DEFAULT status, which is NOT ACCURATE. It was PAID IN FULL and I have documents showing it was paid in full. 

I am not sure how or why this inaccurate information continues to get passed around and continues to show up on my report, but it needs to stop PERMANENTLY! 

I have PAID MY DEBT IN FULL!

Identity Theft has caused my Equifax Credit Report to become corrupt. my.equifax.com and any online access to my Equifax Credit Report does not work ( no information is displayed ) due to fraudulent information in my credit file. Strange names have surfaced on my credit report, and so have birthdates and addresses. I found out about this back in the Spring of XXXX. So, for 4 years now I have not been able to access my Equifax Credit Report online.

Every time I call Equifax about this problem, they tell me that they are going to escalate it to their Specialty Department, but it never gets fixed. They also will give me a confirmation number, but the problem still does not get fixed. I received a call from a guy named XXXX saying that the my.equifax.com should be working now, but it is still not working. The latest confirmation number I have received is : XXXX. 
Whenever I need to see my credit report, I must call Equifax and request a hardcopy, and they send it through the US Mail. Sometimes they require me to send them a copy of my drivers license, social security card, and proof of address ( utility bill ) before they send my credit report. But I should not have to do this long term. 
I have attached the letters I sent to Equifax, requesting that they fix this problem. I need them to remove all the garbage and get my credit report fixed.

I am writing to dispute the adverse action taken in my credit report and to request that you review the accounts through which I have extended credit. I believe there may be a misunderstanding about my rights and the laws governing credit transactions. As an original cardholder and holder in due course, I am exercising my right to initiate a consumer credit transaction with your company.

In accordance with federal law, particularly 15 USC 1602, a credit card encompasses any device used to obtain credit, which I have been granted by your corporation. I am fully aware of my rights as a consumer, and credit is a right afforded to me by a creditor, as per 15 USC 1602 ( f ). Reporting to a consumer reporting agency is voluntary, as stipulated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). I have not derived any benefit from the use of my credit. In fact, the denial of my right to extend credit has caused me both mental and financial distress. There are no federal laws that state a credit score can deny me my right to extend credit, yet the company appears to be overly concerned about my credit score.

I would like to address the issue of discrimination against an applicant, as such a practice in a credit transaction is deemed unlawful under 15 USC 1691 ( a ). I kindly request that your company reevaluates this matter and ensures compliance with federal laws. It is imperative that you open the accounts through which I have extended credit and rectify the adverse action taken in my credit report.

I take my consumer report and credit-related matters very seriously, and I sincerely hope that this matter can be resolved promptly and amicably. Failing to address this dispute properly may necessitate further legal action.

I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. I kindly request a timely response and a resolution to this issue.

Sincerely, By : XXXX : XXXX XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  in fact.

My complaint is about Allied Interstate collecting for XXXX XXXX on a XXXX credit card. 

During a period of financial difficulties, I got behind on my small debt with XXXX through XXXX XXXX They have since started charging me a huge fee each month such that I will have difficulty ever bringing this account current even though I make a payment each month. 

Allied Interstate calls me almost every day up to sometimes 8-10 times, including on Sundays. 

I have tried to make settlement with them but since most of their people do n't speak plain English it is impossible to deal with them. Even if you call XXXXXXXX XXXX itself, you still get connected with someone who does not speak clear English. 

If they want to call one time per day I can accept that but I am sick of the Sunday calls. 

This company should be shut down for its many violations of the federal debt collection laws. 

They call me both at work and on my personal cell phone.
