After carefully reviewing my consumer report, I realize my consumer rights have been violated. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681a Definitions : Rules of Construction ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) States the term consumer report doesnt not include any report containing information solely as to transactions or experience between the consumer and the person making the report. Late payments are a form of transactions and utilization is an experience created by credit usage. EXPERIAN, XXXX AND XXXX ARE reporting late payments on multiple accounts ( XXXX  XXXX XXXX ) and/ or Utilization is an experience created by credit usage. 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) states any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other, in accordance with the consumer to whom it relates. I never gave EXPERIAN, XXXX AND XXXX OR XXXX XXXX written instructions to report anything to my consumer report, let alone this late payments/utilization. Also, according to 15 USC 1681 602 Congressional findings and statement of purpose states, There is need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. It also states 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 method undermined the public confidence with is essential to the continues function of the banking system. Nothing about the reporting of these late payments are accurate and my privacy has been violated due to XXXX violated my consumer rights by allowing these late payments/utilization to report to my consumer report! 

EXPERIAN, XXXX, XXXX AND XXXX XXXX ARE IN VIOLATION OF 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information ( b ) OPT OUT ( 1 ) IN GENERAL A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option.

Ensuring timely payments on this account has been a priority for me, ensuring they're never overdue. I'm unclear about the reasons behind the reports of late payment remarks on my accounts. As per 15 USC 1666b, billing errors should be corrected.

I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

The following hard inquiries are showing on my XXXX XXXX account, which led me to open an investigation with the XXXX credit bureaus. 

The following hard inquiries are showing on my account of which were NOT opened or created by me : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( finance ). Both of these were reported on XX/XX/year>. Fortunately, from what I can tell, no accounts have been created and I believe were denied, however, I have no way of being certain without the correct information being given to me from the reporting agencies. 

I called all XXXX credit bureaus, to freeze my credit with them. XXXX and XXXX did not have any of this data on their end, however, when I called Transunion, they did have these XXXX reported which is affecting my credit and showing as hard inquiries... 

Transunion then advised me to contact the reporting business and get a letter from them stating that this was fraudulent activity. This is the only way they are able to " review '' the case and remove these items from my credit which are being falsely reported. 

Transunion did provide information to XXXX XXXX and I was able to contact them directly and handle, however they are unable to provide information for XXXX. Transunion gave me multiple addresses for the company and was unable to verify a single phone number. Therefore, I am unable to get Transunion the documentation they need to get this off my credit.

I have a current account with XXXX , and has been paid on time as the agreements stated. The account that they are reporting as a " settled account '' was never in collections or never a repo.

I sent them a letter to investigate it and the letter I received back is basically telling me they cant locate the account they need more information. I dont have more information, it's what THEY are reporting to the three credit reporting agencies. It appears to be an account from 2016, which is over 7 years old.

This account needs to be removed from my credit report. Ive included a copy of the letter sent to them, their response, and a copy of the credit report.

As you can see on the credit report there were XXXX  late payments. XXXX is the only one that is reporting it accurately.
