I, XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors.

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

I am also placing a FTC reference number- XXXX XXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. 

Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

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

My account with the company and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 MONTHS REPORTING 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.

This company 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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

A company I own took out a loan at an illegal ( usurious ) rate of interest ( over 78 % XXXX ). 

Because it is a business loan, they are allowed to avoid compliance with consumer usury laws, by saying it's a discount on " receivables. '' The company could not keep up with the high payments, and fell behind. XXXX then reported it to my personal Experian credit file. 

Experian is a CONSUMER credit reporting agency, which should mean that they are in COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS, INCLUDING USURY LAWS. 

This " loan '' that XXXX does not call a " loan '' in order to avoid usury laws, should not be allowed on my personal credit history. They need to choose XXXX XXXX only. Either comply with XXXX XXXX XXXX usury laws, and charge a LEGAL interest rate, and then they could potentially report on my consumer credit. Of course, if they were not charging such stupid high interest, the company would not have fallen behind. XXXX charge illegal rates of interest, call the thing something other than a loan, and then NOT report on my consumer profile. But they should NOT be allowed to have it BOTH ways! This is a violation of my legal protections which have been provided by law.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (FL)

I was a customer at Wells Fargo for 11 years before the closed my account for no reason. In those 11 years they constantly over charged me and took money out of my account for overdraft fees that their fees made me overdraft and then they charged me for it. This happened over and over over the 11 years. Then when I said I was going to go higher then the branch to get some of my money back they closed my account after they charged me so many fees it put my account in the negative. Its not right what they are doing to people. Because of all the money they took from me I lost my house and had to move in with family. It really did affect my quality of life and I still havent recovered. It would be the right thing to do to give me some kind of compensation for all the years I banked with them and they were stealing my hard earned money!
