Dear credit reporting agency Thank you for your response regarding my dispute. While I understand that you are still working on my request, I would like to bring to your attention a specific provision in the consumer credit law that outlines the time frame for responding to disputes and the potential removal of negative marks. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically section 611 [ 1681i ], when a consumer files a dispute with a consumer reporting agency, the agency is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation within 30 days of receiving the dispute [ [ XXXX ] ] ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ). However, there are certain circumstances where the agency must respond within a shorter timeframe. 

In the case of an expedited dispute resolution, if a dispute is resolved by the deletion of the disputed information within XXXX business days of receiving notice of the dispute, the agency is not required to comply with the regular XXXX reinvestigation process [ [ XXXX ] ] ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ). This expedited resolution allows for a more efficient removal of inaccurate or incomplete information. 

Additionally, there is a provision in the FCRA that requires the consumer reporting agency to provide prompt notice of the deletion of disputed information to the consumer, either by telephone or in writing, not later than XXXX business days after making the deletion [ [ XXXX ] ] ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ). This ensures that consumers are informed of the outcome of their dispute in a timely manner. 

Therefore, I kindly request that you adhere to the time frames outlined in the law and promptly complete the reinvestigation of my dispute within the required time frame. Should the disputed information be found to be inaccurate or incomplete, I expect the appropriate deletion to be made and a consumer report based on the corrected information to be provided to me within XXXX business days. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution in this matter. 

[ [ XXXX ] ] ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) : FCRA Section 611 [ 1681i ] [ [ 2 ] ] ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) : FCRA Section 611 [ 1681i ] [ [ 3 ] ] ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) : FCRA Section 611 [ 1681i ]

XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX have all put collection accounts onto my credit report. They have reported information to third parties like safe rent and core logics prohibiting me from being able to rent properly with no evictions, judgments or criminal background. I have disputed with all three companies more than a few times. They have put unauthorized charges and inaccurate items onto my credit report and by law it is illegal to put those items onto my credit report without my consent. FRCA Section 605 B.

XXXX XXXX XXXX was reporting information to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX ; who were then reporting false and inaccurate information on my credit report. XXXX was reporting that I had a balance of over {$150000.00} for a used XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have already invested over {$15000.00} into the vehicle with a remaining balance of around {$11000.00} and them reporting that I owe over {$150000.00} has hurt my ability to get other credit lines because of the debt to income ratio. I have tried through the CFPB, also through calls to the company with no avail until last week when I filed a complaint with the attorney general, comptroller and left a review with the XXXX Then when I called XXXX back and told them about my complaints I was forwarded to the correct department finally XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  who esculated my call and since then XXXX has corrected the information on my report. However, today I received a response through the CFPB from XXXX still stating that the infomation is verified through XXXX which is a lie. Misinformation is false or inaccurate informationgetting the facts wrong. Disinformation is false information which is deliberately intended to misleadintentionally misstating the facts. According to FCRA 1681n that is a willful violation on behalf of XXXX and I demand compensation. And if they have corrected the information and aren't publishing their fault on the CFPB by stating that they are sending a letter they are not being fair and are in violation of 16 CFR 433.2 and they are committing language fraud violating 17 CFR 424. I've attached my credit reports from all 3 credit bereaus proving the reporting of wrong information.

I want to be absolutely clear : I did not approve these transactions to be in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. So, I formally ask to block and remove them from my record. This isn't a mistake, nor is it based on any misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my clear consent or instruction. I'm stressing this to show how serious my request is. It's based on accurate info, and I'm not trying to deceive or manipulate the situation.

" 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 ofXX/XX/XXXXXXXX Code XXXX since I was never late. 

" " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my ( CHANGE TO NAME OF BANK ACCOUNT ). 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. '' '' "

My account with 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 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 into my account 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 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

I have items passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.
