I have previously contacted the credit bureaus regarding these discrepancies and requested the immediate removal of the inaccurate items from my credit reports. However, despite my efforts and the clear inaccuracies in the reporting, the inaccurate information has not been updated or removed from my credit reports. 

I am concerned about the impact of these inaccuracies on my credit profile and request that the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau intervene to ensure that the credit bureaus take appropriate action to rectify the inaccuracies and update my credit reports accordingly. 

The discrepancies between the reports are as follows : XXXX Last Activity Date : Equifax reports the last activity date as XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX reports it as XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX reports it as XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX : Equifax and XXXX report a past due amount of {$6900.00}. 
XXXX reports no past due amounts.

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

I am very concerned about the validity and accuracy of the recent investigation done by Transunion. I requested for an investigation because the accounts have nothing to do with me. I am a victim of identity theft and the accounts are not my responsibility. Transunion failed to give me the result of their investigation. I assume they were unable to verify it. The error has affected my credit score tremendously. CFPB please step up and delete this ASAP, this is very exhausting, nobody wants to grant me a loan because of this.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting!

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (PA)

I received a call this morning at approximately XXXX am est from Wellsfargo trying to get a payment on my account. We worked out a plan for making a payment and catch up and the gentleman was very courteous and helpful. However, when we went to set up the payment I don't have my checking account information on me and he said he pulled it up and I had a lot of money in my accounts. I made the Assumption he was talking about my daughter 's account which has around {$800.00} and she is saving for a car and also has my name on it because she is only XXXX. Then he said I had a second account that had {$25000.00} in it. I was very confused I definitely do not have an account with that much money in it. So I questioned him and found out that it was my mother 's account and I am listed as a beneficiary. 
My concerns are : 1. I am not an owner on this account and was given personal private information which my mother did not consent to. 
2. An offer was made to take my payment from an account that I did not own which I believe is stealing.

As a borrower of student loans to finance my education, I entrusted XXXX to manage my consolidated accounts to streamline the repayment process. Unfortunately, they have not done a great job at accurately reporting information to the credit bureaus. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notification XXXX that " XXXX/DEPT OF ED has flagged your account as Not Paying Off Your Balance and Can not be Located ''. XXXX 's error resulted in a staggering decrease of XXXX points. For starters, none of my contact information has changed since I consolidated my loans back in XX/XX/XXXX. Another thing, is that my account isn't due for repayment until XX/XX/XXXX, per the loan agreement, so how can they flag my account as not paying off balance when I haven't even entered the repayment period? Let alone them being unable to locate me, when I have prooof of correspondence in the form of emails/phone calls/mail from them prior to the inaccurate reportings...? 

I reached out to XXXX that same day ( XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  ) and was on hold for more than 2 hours-switching between representatives-until finally the call disconnected and I was unable to get back through as it was after hours at by that point. So the following business day ( Mon XX/XX/XXXX ), after more than 2.5hours I was able to speak with a supervisor who assured me she would take care of the issue. Now it's been 45 days and the issue has yet to be corrected. I need assistance ASAP, because apparently XXXX is quick to causes damage, yet slow to repair it...

My accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 in 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!
