Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to dispute inaccurate information appearing on my credit report for accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. For the past two years, all three major credit bureaus ( Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX ) have been reporting incorrect information about these accounts. 

I have contacted both XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX  on numerous occasions to address these discrepancies. Unfortunately, these attempts to resolve the issue have been unsuccessful. The reported information includes inconsistent late payments and account statuses that do not match reality. 

I request your assistance in having these inaccurate entries removed from my credit report as soon as possible. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

As instructed by XXXX, I wrote to Assured that I had no idea what that was for - I never received anything from XXXX XXXX XXXX and this must be a mistake. XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX responded with more copies of their collection notices and a request order written by my doctor for authorization prior to a XXXX I had XXXX XXXX. I called my insurance company and they said that the claim had been denied. The XXXX I ended up having was not what was originally planned ( far less invasive ) and I walked out of the XXXX center the same day. At no time did I ever receive ANYTHING from XXXX XXXX Supplies ( nor any bills for anything. ) I thought they must have mixed me up with the other XXXX XXXX 's order. I looked up XXXX Medical Supplies on the Internet and I see they have the SAME BUSINESS ADDRESS as Assured Financial, LLC. Now Assured XXXX nor XXXX is returning any of my calls and once just put me on hold for over XXXX minutes and instead send me TEXT messages to pay this bill. I never gave them permission to send me TEXT messages and these messages do not contain any opt-out option which I also believe is illegal. They threaten a negative credit report and legal action. How am I " legally liable for the amount shown '' when I have never received anything from them? I'm certain they would not be able to prove I ever received anything from them - because I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM THEM. They are seeking a total of {$620.00}. It is no wonder I see they have an F Rating with the XXXX and many similar complaints. I sincerely hope you can help with this.

On XX/XX/XXXX I woke to find my account in the negative. Citizens Bank was apparently having an issue in which transactions posted on XX/XX/XXXX repeated on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a text telling me my account was overdrawn when I should have had a positive balance. I had no access to my money for the duration of the day. 

I called the holder of my car loan looking for answers on why they took another payment. They did not. I called my local branch who seemed unaware of the issue. 

By XXXX XXXX  the funds started to be returned. Only on XX/XX/XXXX did they send an email advising of the issue. 2 days after the event. 

My bank statement reflects these erroneous overdrafts. They shut down my debit card claiming fraud. The only fraud is their own. 

I would like their records to accurately reflect what occurred was not my doing but their own.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX 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 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.

XXXX XXXX XXXX  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!
