They are doing the exact same thing. Forcing me to make payments monthly on an amount that I can not afford. I have mentioned I am XXXX and they refused to work with me. They offered me a monthly payment of {$120.00} a month and I can only afford {$50.00} as I stated with the previous provider and this debt collector. I borrowed {$3500.00} and now both providers are trying to force me to pay over {$7000.00} in legal fees, finance fees etc which should be completely illegal. Providers like this one and debt collectors are the reason XXXX  is struggling and the people in it. Please help me in this matter negotiate something more reasonable for me to pay monthly especially since I am XXXX and already struggling.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

My accounts 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.

( 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!

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint concerning the mishandling of my credit report following identity theft and subsequent disputes, under the purview of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). This complaint is filed under the protections and rights afforded to me by the following federal laws : - 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( p ) Definitions under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) - 15 U.S. Code 1601 Congressional findings and declaration of purpose - 15 U.S. Code 1692 Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) - 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) Correction of billing errors I have been a victim of identity theft, which has led to unauthorized hard inquiries and the creation of fraudulent accounts on my credit reports maintained by XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. I have taken the necessary steps to address this issue, including filing a police report and submitting a report to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). Copies of these reports were sent to the aforementioned credit reporting agencies to notify them of the fraudulent activities affecting my credit files. Despite my efforts, including filing numerous disputes and opening several investigations with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX, the unauthorized accounts and inquiries remain on my credit reports. These inaccuracies are adversely impacting my credit score and, consequently, my financial well-being. The persistence of these errors violates my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1692 ) and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ), which mandate the timely correction of billing errors and inaccurate information in consumer reports. The lack of appropriate action by the credit reporting agencies also undermines the objectives of the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1601 and 1602 ( p ) ), which aims to promote informed use of credit and ensure fair and accurate credit billing and reporting practices. I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene in this matter and take the necessary actions to ensure : 1. Immediate removal of all unauthorized hard inquiries and fraudulent accounts from my credit reports. Remove all late payments to current open accounts. 2. Rectification of any inaccuracies in my credit reports caused by these fraudulent activities. 3. Assurance that the credit reporting agencies comply with the regulations set forth under federal laws to protect consumers from identity theft and credit report inaccuracies. Enclosed are copies of the police report, I trust that the CFPB will take my complaint seriously and act promptly to rectify the situation. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your timely response and resolution. 

Please Advise, 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. List all accounts : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
