Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the continued presence of inaccurately reported late open accounts on my credit report, despite many attempts to have them corrected. As a consumer, I am deeply concerned about the accuracy and integrity of the information contained in my credit report. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) mandates that credit reporting agencies thoroughly investigate and promptly correct any inaccuracies brought to their attention. However, your agency has not fulfilled these legal obligations in handling my case. The ongoing presence of these late open accounts on my credit report has caused significant distress and financial harm. It has negatively impacted my credit score and hindered my ability to access credit and financial services. 

I appreciate that you would help conducts an immediate and thorough review of my disputes and expedites the correction of the late open accounts on my credit report. Furthermore, I request written confirmation detailing the steps taken to address this matter and the resolution thereof. Please help me correct this account immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$10000.00}.

The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

My account with XXXX XXXX  AND 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 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 AND XXXX 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

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681, Section 602 ), there is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their significant responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. Equifax and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies, and I am the consumer. I have the right to ensure my private information is not shared, as backed by 15 USC 6801, which states : " It is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' A furnisher of information to credit agencies is defined as a financial institution under this title.

According to 15 USC 1681, Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), " any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' Neither Equifax, XXXX, nor the furnisher of information to credit agencies have my consent to furnish this information, and they certainly do not have my written consent. Therefore, any consent previously given, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is hereby revoked.

Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' The furnisher of information to credit agencies never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option.

Additionally, 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) states : " Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes, which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item being reported without my permission.
