I am very concerned about the items that are being shown on my credit report. Not only are they inaccurate, they are also unjust, because they should now be reporting on my credit report! I ask that you delete these accounts, or I will be filing a legal complaint against you!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

My account with 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 60 days 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.

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 XXXX

My Consumer Law 15 USC 6802B has been violated. It states, Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information, unless such financial institution provides or has provided to the consumer a notice that complies with section 6803 of this title.

( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party.

Its my understanding that you will recheck these items with the creditor who has posted them. Please remove the late payments that were posted without my consent to opt out of having them report to a third party.

Company: MOHELA (OR)

Mohela finally put an administrative forbearance on my account due to their delays and errors in processing my annual income certification and payment plan. I have received mixed information on how long the forbearance is for - one or two months. Either way is fine. However, now Mohela is telling me that I have missed a payment and owe double next month despite my auto debit still active in my account. They have caused major errors on my account and trying to get a hold of someone takes a long time. 

Nothing has changed with my auto debit. It is their fault and lack of communication and clarity that they are saying I missed a payment.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Account Name : SYNCB/PPC Account # : XXXX I'm writing to bring to your attention a troubling issue involving SYNCB/PPC and the XXXX credit bureaus XXXX, Equifax XXXX and XXXX. It's regarding some inaccurate and unverified charge-off information that's hanging around on my credit report like an unwelcome guest. 

Despite my best efforts, this charge-off account hasn't been adequately backed up with any solid documentation, despite my repeated requests and disputes. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ) [ 12 U.S.C. 5511 et seq. ] and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ], XXXX and the credit bureaus are obliged to play by the rules. This includes ensuring that any disputed information on my credit report is thoroughly investigated and supported by proper documentation. 

But here 's the kicker every time I've asked for some proof or documentation to back up this charge-off, I've come up empty-handed. And the responses from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX? They've been pretty vague, just saying the info is " verified, '' without showing me any proof. 

This lack of documentation is more than just frustrating ; it's a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA and CFPA. As a consumer, I have the right to accurate and verifiable information on my credit report. The fact that there's no evidence to back up this charge-off raises serious doubts about its accuracy. 

So, I'm asking no, I'm demanding that this unverified charge-off be taken off my credit report with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX immediately, in accordance with the FCRA and CFPA. If XXXX and the credit bureaus don't comply, I'll have no choice but to explore all available legal options to seek redress for the damage this has caused.

I'm counting on you to help me out here. Let 's get this sorted and put this whole mess behind us. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I eagerly await your response and the resolution of this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

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.
