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

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 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 XX/XX/year> Days 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

I am disappointed to have received a credit report that contains inaccurate information about me. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it is my right to dispute any information that I believe to be incorrect. I take this matter very seriously and I am deeply concerned that these false allegations of delinquency and derogatory information could harm my reputation and financial well-being. 

Although I am fighting back with all my strength, I need your cooperation to resolve this issue. I kindly request you to provide evidence that justifies why my accounts are considered to be in a negative state. It is my understanding that any data included in my file must be documented and validated before it can be used by creditors, as mandated by the law. However, it appears that your records are not meeting these standards. 

I feel let down that you are not doing your job properly, and I am concerned about the potential consequences that this could have on my creditworthiness. Therefore, I am giving you 30 days from now to address this matter and provide me with physical proof of your actions and my updated credit report. 

I hope that everything can be resolved in a timely manner without the need for intervention or escalation. Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim, as the allegations against me are not true. I am deeply disappointed to have to dispute these claims, but I will not let inaccurate information harm my financial well-being.

Complaint number 5 - XXXX XXXX. 

There are at least 4 prior complaints regarding Equifax 's reporting of this account on my tradeline. 

All complaints have surround the " Activity Designation '' that EQ uses to define the current status of an account, be it Paid/Closed or NA when Open. 

It is apparent that when this value is not accurately set, that the PAY history - fills in wholly inaccurately, as the account has been closed for months. 

I have attached a sample report from Equifax 's own website, and on page XXXX, is an account with a " Closed Date '' and then - an Activity Designator that they display and expect to be present. 

During these XXXX previous disputes with EQ - their manual updates, have destroyed the tradeline. 

The Pay History present previously and - traceable submissions to them by XXXX XXXX, is now gone. 

The Balance History present previously and - traceable submissions to them by XXXX XXXX, is now gone. 

That is attached as well. There is also an attached document from the printed reports showing the Pay and Balance History - deleted. 
This account had perfect payment history. 
This account has perfect balance history, to support its pay history. 

Equifax - if you can not go back to the original creditor and put the account back to which it started and then stood until closure, you have left this trade line inaccurate and wholly incomplete.

My mortgage was paid in full on XX/XX/year>. Delinquent account information was falsely reported to various credit reporting agencies on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year>. This in turn reduced my credit score by almost 90 points after having an exceptional credit score for several years with not one payment late. Contacted reporting agency and the bank who reported it [ wellsfargo ] for various recorded phone calls stating that my credit report would not be affected as long as the loan forbearance was caught up or paid in full by XX/XX/year>. I was informed the recorded phone calls would be reviewed and corrected pending information recorded during several phone calls prior to confirming the loan forbearance. The only reason the forbearance was accepted is because I was repeatedly promised that my credit would not be affected by the terms laid out in which were followed 100 %. Proof of account standing in XX/XX/year> that shows up to date is available. Please help in this ridiculous false claims made by the lender wellsfargo. I was also promised during a recorded phone call that my loan would never be sold. 2 months Into my mortgage wellsfargo sold my assets to fanie may without any type of communication at all.
