I am a federally protected consumer and I am aware of my rights laid out by the FCRA in 15 USC 1681. Additionally, Im aware that you as a consumer reporting agency must maintain accurate records at all times across all credit reporting agencies within consumer files. 
Please re-investigate the below accounts validity within my consumer report that you maintain under my name. Please update these accounts to reflect complete and verified information. 
ACCOUNT : XXXX XXXX XXXX These Laws Clearly state : Under 15 U.S. code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report, it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure the maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified the consumer reporting agency shall -- - ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

XXXX even has this information correct, as it reads PAID AS AGREED for XXXX of 2022 on their consumer report. Failure to do so may constitute willful non-compliance in this matter.

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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AR)

I have filed XXXX bankruptcy cases in the last 7 years. In the first XXXX, my XXXX XXXX mortgage was included. That one was dismissed. In the second one, my XXXX XXXX mortgage was NOT included and the court has allowed me to pay the mortgage OUTSIDE of the bankruptcy. 

I have made MULTIPLE requests for XXXX XXXX to continue CORRECTLY reporting my monthly payments. For XXXX YEARS, they kept reporting inaccurate information and had made credit report look like I was up to XXXX years behind on payment. THIS TANKED MY XXXX XXXX!!! 

I have made several complaints to the CRAs and they have had me to send in my current bills to show that I was indeed current. So, the CRAs removed the inaccurate reporting. But, XXXX XXXX is REFUSING to correctly report my current mortgage payments. 

Right now, they are the ONLY company that is NOT reporting accurately, and they are not even part of the bankruptcy!!!

" 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 of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my FIG TECH INC - XXXX. 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.
