Complaint XXXX The inquiries below were made without my permission or knowledge, and I believe they are negatively impacting my credit score. 

This is the list of the inquiries that I am disputing : Inquiry by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023 - XXXX Inquiry by XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX- XXXX I have made XXXX attempts to contact the companies responsible for these inquiries, but they have been unresponsive and have not provided me with any information about why they made the inquiries or whether they have any legitimate reason for doing so. 

I have also tried to dispute these inquiries with the credit reporting agencies, but they have not been able to provide me with a satisfactory explanation for why these inquiries remain on my credit report. 

I believe that these inquiries are unjustified and have no legitimate reason for being on my credit report. They have caused me significant stress and financial hardship, as they have affected my ability to obtain credit and have lowered my credit score. 

I am therefore requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and take action to remove these inquiries from my credit report. I believe that this action is necessary to protect my rights and ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my creditworthiness.

My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 60 days 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, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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.

A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge.

The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.
