I AM SUBMITTING THIS WITHOUT ANY INFLUENCE AND THIS IS NOT A THIRD PARTY. THE CREDIT BUREAUS STATED MY ACC WAS PROPERLY INVESTIGATED BUT HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE IF THE OPEN DATE IS INACCURATE, THE DATE LAST ACTIVE IS INACCURATE, AND THE DATE LAST REPORTED IS NOT ACCURATE? THIS GROUND FOR REMOVAL, THEY ALSO VIOLATED MY RIGHTS UNDER 15 U.S.C 1681 SECTION 602 A. STATES I HAVE THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

15 U.S.C 1681 SECTION 604 SECTION 2. IT ALSO STATES A CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY CAN NOT FURNISH AN ACCOUNT WITHOUT MY WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS. 

PLEASE SEE ATTACHED LETTERS.

I consistently make payments punctually. I'm confident about this. However, what puzzles me is why this particular company occasionally reports me as late in some months, which shouldn't happen. According to USC 1666b, any billing discrepancy should be rectified promptly and reflected accurately as paid as agreed.

I am writing to formally dispute the fraudulent account listed on my credit report, which is negatively impacting my credit score. This account was opened fraudulently and does not belong to me. Despite previous attempts to rectify this issue, the account continues to be erroneously reported on my credit profile, causing significant harm to my financial standing. 

Upon discovering the unauthorized account, I immediately took action to dispute its validity with the respective creditors and reported the incident to the relevant authorities. Despite providing extensive documentation and evidence proving the fraudulent nature of the account, it remains unresolved and continues to detrimentally affect my creditworthiness. 

This inaccurate reporting not only tarnishes my credit history but also undermines my financial integrity. As a responsible consumer, I have diligently upheld my financial obligations, and it is unjust that my creditworthiness is compromised due to fraudulent activities beyond my control.

I sent a letter regarding the errors and unfamiliar entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't heard back in over 30 days. It seems like my concerns are being overlooked, and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. I might need to pursue legal action because of the stress this situation has put me under.

I had a XXXX XXXX account through XXXX Bank which was closed due to nonpayment. The past due balance showing on my credit reports is {$1200.00}. I called XXXX Bank yesterday to resolve the balance and was told that they are no longer collecting on the balance and a XXXX was issued for the previous account balance and as such, I was unable to make any kind of payment and was directed to dispute the status with the credit bureaus. I disputed the information with all three credit bureaus, and Equifax has already finished the dispute, but the reported balance was not changed and is still showing as past due for {$1200.00}. I dont understand what XXXX supposed to do if XXXX cant make a payment to resolve the balance but that it wont update to {$0.00}. It is impacting my ability to access new lines of credit.

Thanks to Covid I had reduced income due to being a XXXX XXXX. US Bank was more than willing to be helpful during that process and granted me a forbearance on the loan. XXXX of 2022 I was ready to resume paying on the loan and they did a loan modification and lowered my payment to {$790.00} ( I'm not sure of the exact change ) and I made my first installment payment on time. Then I go to make my next payment and it's rejected. I called after I had received new modification applications confused as to why I was receiving them and was told not to send them again, that everything was fine. But when I go to make the payment over the phone I was told that an underwriter decided a signature was illegible and that my modification application was denied, even after I had already made the first payment. Then I had to go through applying all over again. This time they made my payment {$400.00} higher than what it originally was. My paychecks are only XXXX at best. That new payment option is more than an entire paycheck. NOT AFFORDABLE. Now I'm currently dealing with a wage garnishment, also due to COVID, and I've told US BANK this and they chose to ignore it. I'm a single mother, desperately trying to save my home and US Bank keeps offering me only options of {$1100.00} or higher in the repayment offer and expect the first payment before I even get paid again, then another payment 2 weeks later. I can't afford that. I tried asking for another forbearance and reverting back to the last approved payment amount of XXXX they won't approve that either. I've asked to speak to someone about this and I keep getting told no. So now I'm escalating my complaint.
