My account with 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.

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!

Hello, I received a debt letter from Credit Collections Bureau dated XX/XX/23, for the amount of {$200.00}.

I want to emphasize that I did not provide written authorization for the inclusion of these specific transactions in my consumer report. Therefore, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report. It is crucial to clarify that this request is not due to any oversight or error on my part. Rather, it stems from the fact that I did not expressly permit these transactions to be included in my report.

I switched phone service from XXXX to XXXX having paid my final bill ( approximately {$350.00} ) and having returned ALL my XXXX equipment. This was in early XXXX of 2018. Subsequent to that, I received another final bill from XXXX in the amount of {$2300.00} and change. I contacted XXXX to dispute the erroneous billing and was told by the XXXX Customer Service Rep ( XXXX XXXX ) that I would not receive any further billing. Since that date, I have received no further communication from XXXX with the exception of the emailing of the transcript of the chat, which states, " I have successfully escalated the issue to my higher level team and put the notes in the account. You will not receive nay further bills. Be rest assured. '' As you can imagine, it was quite a surprise to learn that just a few weeks ago ( on or about XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX handed the account over to Diversified Consultants of XXXX who immediately filed a collection action with the XXXX. Neither XXXX nor Diversified sent any letter or email notification of their claim. In fact, it seems that Diversified has a habit of not providing the required written notice of a collection action. No written notification was received in my case. What they typically do, and did in my case, was wait until the see a credit inquiry for a home loan and then file a derogatory collection claim with the credit bureau - XXXX  in my case. Again, this is very dishonest and what they did in my case and have done on other cases according to information available in your records.

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.

Tried to dispute it soon as i saw up come up on my report. Equifax said it will remain on the account no matter what. There investigations they do are truly investigations, because it was less than 24 hours and they had already made a decision on it. These are NOT mine, I need them removed immediately. Equifax already had the wrong name on my account until I recently got them to remove it finally.

Barclays Bank XXXX Jet Blue credit card. DON'T APPLY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!! 
In XX/XX/2023, I applied for a JetBlue card while booking a flight. Despite numerous calls to Barclay and JetBlue and several hours on the phone, I have not received a statement or a card. Barclays says they sent a card to me which I never received. They said they sent a replacement card on XX/XX/. I have not received that card. I called Barclays again. They said they would send another card by XXXX. Today, their automated system indicated that the card had not been sent out. On the phone, they said it was sent out today. 
I desperately need a statement for a loan application. Barclays will not give me my account number which would allow me to access my account on line. Barclays will not send a statement, but they are expecting me to pay my bill. 
Barclays said they would have a high level manager call me. After several days without a call back, I called Barclays again. They said they would schedule another call from a high level manager. After waiting another day, I receive a phone call. It rang one time. Nobody on the line when I answered. I called back he number which didn't accept incoming calls.

I have spent over four hours on the phone just this week without any resolution. Barclays heavily uses the terms " unfortunately '', " sorry '', and " apologize '', but do not correct their issues.

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.
