My account with this company is being reported late 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.

These accounts XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX are not complete and accurate. I sent a letter asking them to make sure everything is complete and accurate and TO PROVIDE HOW THEY VERIFIED THE INFORMATION. They sent my investigation back and said everything is complete and accurate, but if you check my attachments everything is not complete and accurate And according to nd according to 15 USC 1681i 5 they are suppose to do this ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (IN)

On XXXX XXXX, I did open this account with Wyndham for a Barclay 's Credit Card due to plans to possibly upgrade my contract. Well, I chose not to upgrade and I left the presentation. My newlywed husband stayed on for the rest of the presentation to learn more about Wyndham.

My husband ended up signing a contract with Wyndham by scamming him into thinking he was getting a great deal, yet what they did was put a {$11000.00} charge on this new credit card I didn't even have yet. I was not even there at the time the contract was signed.

I disputed this charge with Barclays and they denied and said I would have to reach out to Wyndham. I wrote them back and demanded that they show me evidence that I authorized this charge. That was in the beginning of XXXX and I have not heard back from them.
