Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the inaccurate information present on my credit file reported by EQUIFAX. The details in question lack proper certification, validation, and physical verification, rendering them questionable and not proven to be valid. My address is XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, CO XXXX, and my name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, born on XXXX. I have identified potentially duplicative and unquestionably dubious requests on my credit record, lacking any authorization from me. As a consumer, I am within my rights to request the prompt removal of these late payments, as they violate both federal and state consumer/civil rights. This complaint serves as a formal request for compliance with FACTA Title 1 Section 151, which explicitly mandates a clear description of the reporting process. This issue pertains to the accuracy of data and the reporting procedures

My mother works for the Federal Government and she noticed a lot of inquiries so we pulled my report and I have 19 inquiries that I didn't authorize. She received a letter at the beginning of the year saying that our data had been breached. She has insurance on me and my sister, so our information was also part of that breech. I have not authorized anyone to run my credit.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 in those account 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.

( CREDITOR NAME ) 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

This credit card is reporting inaccurately. 

Equifax says that the last payment was made on XX/XX/2023. I reported that this information is inaccurate and they verified it as accurate as of XX/XX/2023. 

XXXX reports date of last payment as XX/XX/2023, i reported that this information is inaccurate and they have validated it as accurate as of XX/XX/2023. 

XXXX is reporting that {$0.00} was paid on XX/XX/2023 as of XX/XX/2023. 

XXXX shows that the account was 120 pays due in XXXX of XXXX  but also shows a payment of {$220.00} on XXXX XXXX. 

Equifax shows a payment of {$220.00} being made on XX/XX/2023 and XXXX does not show a date for the month of XXXX. 

Even though there are numerous inaccuracies, all of the agencies have reproted this account being accurate when I contacted them regarding the discrepancies.

Company: FIRSTBANK PUERTO RICO (PR)

In XX/XX/2020, after the first 15 years, my mortgage loan ( " balloon '' type ) reached their maturity status. According to the terms of the loan, 60 days before this date, the bank was supposed to send me a letter stating the options I had for the next 15 years. I did not received any letter from the bank regarding this matter. Since XX/XX/2020 I tried to connect with the proper division at FirstBank but not until XX/XX/2020 was I directed to the Loss Mitigation Division. 

My complaint is that the bank is not willing to accept the terms that were specified in the original loan to take place after the first 15 years. This is so according to the documents the bank send me after paying {$60.00} to get it ( I am submitting copies of these documents ). 

Before that an officer from First Bank responded in the following manner to my request : " I hope you are well, the case was consulted with our lawyer and since it is the case of the Firstbank portfolio, the case is worked differently than the case in XXXX XXXX, because that other loan is from a XXXX XXXX investor and they have a product to work with as a streamline. Now to work with the expired ballon you have with us, you must submit documentation to be reevaluated and let you know the new terms and conditions of the loan. '' This is different from what the original terms of the loan specified.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (MO)

Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Missouri Laws Dear MIDLANDCRE, I am writing to address the blatant violation of my rights regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report. This action is a direct contravention of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), the Missouri Information Practices Act, and identity fraud laws, specifically Missouri Revised Statutes Section 570.020. 

It has come to my attention that XXXX has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that consumer consent is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law, specifically the Missouri Information Practices Act, provides protections for consumers against unauthorized disclosure of personal information. Furthermore, identity fraud laws, such as Missouri Revised Statutes Section 570.020, underscore the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for XXXX to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that XXXX immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and the Missouri Information Practices Act. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA, Missouri state law, and identity fraud laws. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that XXXX will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

The alleged debt has inaccurate information represented in it. In XXXX of XXXX, I submitted a dispute about the inaccurate information to XXXX. They responded that the information was valid, I requested proof of the validity but never received it. 

The alleged debt is reporting as a delinquent account that was opened on XX/XX/XXXX. That is inaccurate. The account was opened with this company on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX. It says that this is a 1 month account but my policy was for 1 year. It says that the original amount of the account was for {$800.00} but my monthly payment amount was {$320.00} so that number is inaccurate. Almost every piece of information related to this account that the credit bureaus are reporting is inaccurate even though I have submitted contrary information, it has not been updated to reflect any piece of accurate information. 

Equifax is reporting my date of delinquency as XXXX of XXXX XXXX reports my date of delinquency as XXXX of XXXX and XXXX does not report a date at all.
