Details of the Dispute : XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, Clarify the payment status, comments, balance and account number as I think they are erroneous. If you can not prove any of the information mentioned in the past credit report data that I contested with, I demand this account be deleted from my credit report. 

XXXX : Account number : XXXX, A ChargeOff Account with Balance? Are you sure you know what you're doing? How come you keep on reporting inaccurate information on my credit file? I demand the immediate deletion of this inaccurate information. 

XXXX XXXX  Account number : XXXX, How can this account be closed and yet, it states that I am still paying on it in the monthly payment section? Once an account is closed there should be no monthly payment unless the status says now paying, was charged-off! Delete this account for inaccuracy. 

XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX, There's no way you can update an account that I have no recollection of ever belonging to me. You need to remove this inaccurate information immediately from my credit report.

I am seeking the correction of the inaccuracies in my credit report and a formal acknowledgment from Experian regarding the resolution of my dispute.

Company: Self Financial Inc. (FL)

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXSELF - XXXX. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

In relation to my previous complaints from earlier this month, Equifax Credit reporting bureau has given me an explanation claiming that they did an investigation internally as well as reporting that there was NO CREDIT FREEZE on my credit report. Upon review my credit, yet again, the statement as well as the placement of items disputed were still under the provisions of my credit report and the items that can not be identified. According to an updated screenshot on my XXXX, there is STILL a freeze that I reported from XX/XX/2023 from a previous dispute and identity theft request made around that period. Due to the nature of the information that wasnt provided and the proof from the claim when I checked my credit reporting via the XXXX XXXX ( which is indeed a validated and official record of credit reporting supported by their credit reporting agency and does reporting on behalf of Equifax and XXXX ) there have been no updates and the statement is still recorded on my credit report.

I am still undergoing legality issues in regards to my credit report and identify from XX/XX/2023 and the fact that there is no documentation to support their hearsay and what their investigation is proclaiming and none of which was provided to me is violation of my FCRA rights.
