Dear Equifax I hope your day is going well, but I need your help. I noticed the following issues with these accounts on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX : Account number : N/A, Unverifiable. Fix, update or delete the information for date open.

XXXX | XX/XX/XXXX : Account number : N/A, Unverifiable. Fix, update or delete the information for date open. 

I did some reading on the internet about credit reporting laws, and from my understanding if a consumer finds errors on their credit report, they have a right have them fixed, right? I got this information from the FTC, and the CFPB. This incorrect information on my credit report is causing problems when I try to apply for credit. Please investigate this matter, and get back with me when you are finished. I hope this will be soon. 



Thanks.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Ava Finance, Inc (NY)

My account with AVA FINANCE was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with AVA FINANCE 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 XX/XX/year> 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.

AVA FINANCE 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 wrote a letter about false information on my credit report, and more than 45 days later, I still haven't heard anything back. I think my complaint is being disregarded and that I'm being victimized of. It is precisely stated in Section 611 ( a ) that refusal to investigate these allegations within 30 days is cause for immediate removal of all those allegations from my credit report ; given that it has been more than 60 days, they should be promptly deleted. I demand that these accounts be terminated right away, or else I'll pursue you for the anguish you put upon my life. The Equifax data breach exposed my information well as, and it's feasible that it landed in the incorrect hands. Also apply law 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( e ) ( b ) ASAP so I know I am being treated fairly and with equal rights as a consumer.

OFFICIAL CONSUMER COMPLAINT and FORMAL DEMAND a thorough CHECK of the required CERTIFIED COMPLAINT REPORTING OF PHYSICALLY VERIFIED valid, true, accurate, complete, and timely of the reported alleged claims. Furthermore, I challenge you to provide evidence supporting these claims. As a consumer, I have the right to contest the reportability of any information that is deficient in any way. I demand that you promptly and PERMANENTLY delete any alleged claims of inquiries, delinquencies, or derogatory remarks if you are unable, unwilling, or fail to demonstrate lawful evidence as requested throughout this notice. This removal must be carried out without exception or delay. 

To Whom It May Concern : My consumer rights are being violated with this inaccurate information! I have a right to be treated fairly by those who control it, so please provide me all available details on how they came up short in their responsibilities towards accuracy and compliance. I am officially challenging you to review your data on file for me! With the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 611 ( 15 U S C 1681I ) and Metro 2 compliance standards, I challenge all inaccuracies or deficiencies of reporting. The credit report I received was not accurate, which surprises me because you should be adhering to the FCRA and applicable Metro 2 data field formatting standards. 

As a consumer, I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It is not complete and does not meet applicable standards because according to law you are required for both FCRAs as well as Metro 2 compliance which must be done truthfully with correct information being provided timely so that none of my rights are violated I am aware that you have been sending out form letters in response to many of the disputes and challenges that consumers have submitted, regardless of the specific information that they have provided. This is illegal, as each dispute and challenge must be addressed individually and on its own merits. My letters were created using software that is available to everyone. If you don't process my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i.

Keep in mind, you are not allowed to delay processing letters from consumers based on the assumption that help from a third party may be available. This is not a legal exception. I am the author of any letters you receive with my name on them. Either I or my advisors wrote them with my full knowledge and consent. I am aware that there is no law that says you need to provide a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing letters from a consumer. If you do not process my letters in a timely manner, I will consider it to be an intentional disregard of my rights as a consumer. I will then contact my lawyer to take legal action.

I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax, XXXX and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

It is Equifaxs duty pursuant to the FCRA to be reporting correct and accurate information on my credit report and file, however they are NOT. Equifax is reporting seven inaccurate late payments for the XXXX account, which does not have an account numbers to reference to. These include two 30 day late payments posted in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX 60 day late payments dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. These are incorrect and supposed to be reported as PAID AS AGREED. Furthermore, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( I ), a consumer report does NOT contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. A transaction constitutes these late payments resulting in Equifax violating my federally protected consumer rights. To add to this I did NOT give Equifax written instruction/permission to furnish these in accurate late payments on my consumer report or file, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) it is clear that Equifax has violated my federally protected consumer rights under the FCRA, and the inaccurate reporting is causing me and my reputation severe harm and discrimination.
