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

My account with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 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 XXXXXXXX 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

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my ( XXXX XXXX  XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX  - XXXX ). I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

On XX/XX/year> I spoke to a person at Avant about a payment settlement. I agreed to make three monthly payments of {$85.00} for a total of {$250.00} for settlement payoff. She then told me I need my first payment that day to enter in to the agreement, so I made the {$85.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX and she sent me a contract and I disagreed with it because it said XXXX XXXX and XXXX I would make the payment and I said what about my payment today and she said that is included they give an extra month just in case something happens. And now Avant is telling me that first payment was just a payment and not a part of the contract so I'm out that {$85.00}. although on XX/XX/XXXX I went on my account through their app and it showed I only owed {$170.00} xx and now it changed to the full amount when I looked at it XX/XX/XXXX. So this is the day I called them and they're telling me that my first payment that I made was not being used for the settlement so now I have three more payments that I have to make. I asked them if we could be listened to that phone conversation on XX/XX/XXXX and they said they will look into it. That is not fair that the settlement lady was on truthful and they're saying my account app didn't ever show a different amount. I want them to stand by the agreement that they made with me.
