Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

My account with the company 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.

Despite my repeated attempts to address this issue, the fraudulent items remain unresolved. The persistence of these unauthorized transactions on my credit file is a serious concern that has yet to be adequately addressed. The presence of these fraudulent items is not only compromising my financial security but also significantly affecting my creditworthiness. The lack of resolution after multiple attempts to rectify this situation is unacceptable and has caused me considerable stress, inconvenience, and potential financial harm. To support my claim, I have attached all relevant documentation once again, including detailed statements highlighting the fraudulent items and any additional information that could aid in the investigation.
