I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue with my credit report that requires your assistance in resolution. 

Upon reviewing my credit reports, I have identified an inaccurately reported late payment. I have made several attempts to contact the creditor in question to address and rectify this discrepancy, but unfortunately, I have not received any response.

I submitted a credit repair request to a company, but they failed to respond within the 30-day timeframe required by law. This failure to respond has negatively impacted my credit and caused difficulties for me. I am now considering submitting a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), in order to address the situation and protect my rights as a consumer.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 
This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. 

Also, I was never disclosed of ALL XXXX of my Opt-Out disclosures which states a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party under 15 U.S. Code 6802 unless all three disclosures were satisfied but they were not.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

My account had an outstanding balance of approximately {$370.00} ; two payments from being paid off. This card was issued by Wells Fargo, phone number ( XXXX ) XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. My account was in good standing and closed once I made the final payment of {$370.00}. During this before I made the payment my bank account was compromised and I had to resolve that matter before I could pay my bill. During this time I notified Wells Fargo of the situation and was instructed that my account would remain in good standing due to the extenuating circumstances. When my bank account compromise was resolved I made the payment in-full and thought all was well. Then I received a notification that my credit score had changed, so I'm excited because I just paid off this card thinking my score had increased. Much to my dismay, my score was negatively impacted due to negative reporting my Wells Fargo. This was a total contradiction from what I was told was going to happen. I didn't work hard all my life just to have my credit ruined by some greedy corporate XXXX XXXX  guy that has a silver spoon in his mouth from birth. I've served my nation and was taken aback by how Wells Fargo treated me and I will never deal with Wells Fargo!

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a copy of my TransUnion credit report and I noticed an auto loan account being reported as a collection account by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Specifically, a XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Therefore, I contacted the creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX by phone for additional information regarding the status of the account. However, the customer service department was unable to locate any account with my information in their system. I explained to the representative that I reviewed my TransUnion credit report and the auto loan was being reported as a delinquent account in collections by their financial institution. I also explained to the representative that the automobile was stolen in XXXX XXXX XXXX and the account balance was paid in full by my auto insurance at the time. The claim was settled directly with the XXXX loan department. 

Unfortunately, because the customer service representative was unable to locate any account in their system, they were unable to provide with any additional information and documentation that the account was settled. It was recommended for me to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX by mail. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I drafted a letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX and TransUnion Credit Bureau which is reporting the delinquent/negative account. I sent the letters via USPS mail on XX/XX/XXXX and have not received a response in writing and/or via telephone.
