Company: Uprova Credit, LLC (NJ)

The actual terms were not provided to me until after I had agreed and the first payment was taken out. I'm shocked they have not been shut down already. I have experience with loans and they flat out lied. I took a {$500.00} payday loan and after reading the terms the interest amount appeared reasonable. When I logged in after the first payment was taken out its showing I will be paying it back on a 538 % interest rate. I borrowed {$500.00} and am supposed to pay back {$1800.00} with no early payoff program. I will attach screenshots in the section below. Is this something I can get out of? The screenshots below were not shown to me until after signed up and first payment taken. Prior to that the sign up terms were very vague it show a very small interest amount. I would have never considered a 538 % loan.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of concern regarding the information on my credit report. After a recent review, I have noticed that there are late payments inaccurately reported on my credit history. I was the victim & I'm not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. 

I have attached supporting documents, including bank statements and payment receipts, to demonstrate that the reported late payments are erroneous. I am confident that a review of this evidence will confirm the inaccuracies and prompt the necessary corrections. 

The late payments in question are associated with the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. If there is any confusion, I suggest you contact myself or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX customer service representative. XXXX have already removed this late payment from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX - Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. If there is any confusion, I suggest you contact myself or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX customer service representative. 

I kindly request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and, if appropriate, remove or correct the inaccurately reported late payments on my credit report. I understand the importance of accurate credit reporting and its impact on my financial standing. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and kindly request that you provide written confirmation of the corrections made to my credit report within [ 30 days ] from the date of this letter.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NE)

I am writing to file a complaint regarding the inaccuracies in my entire consumer report that have been provided by Experian. I have been disputing this information for years now, and I am tired of their refusal to investigate and correct these inaccuracies. 

I have enclosed a copy of my dispute letter, which I sent to Experian, in which I explain the errors and inaccuracies in my consumer report, including multiple charge-off statuses, inquiries, incorrect balances, a misspelled name, and more. I request that Experian investigate these inaccuracies and make the necessary corrections to my credit report. I will use the CFPB to verify myself. 

To date, I have not received a response from Experian or any indication that the errors have been corrected. I am concerned that these inaccuracies are preventing me from obtaining credit or entering into new transactions, and my family is suffering as a result. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take any necessary action to ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my credit history. I would like to see a resolution that includes the removal of all inaccuracies from my credit report and any other necessary corrections to ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my credit history. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I am formally notifying your company that I did not provide authorization or instructions for the inclusion of these specific transactions in my consumer report. Consequently, I am requesting that these accounts be blocked and deleted. It is important to clarify that this request is not made in error, nor is it based on any material misrepresentation for blocking these transactions. 
I insist on the removal of all utilization data from the mentioned accounts. 

Therefore, I request and demand that you remove these accounts from my file within 30 days, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), or conduct an investigation into these accounts.

My accounts 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 to be removed/updated. 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. 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!

My payments were reduced down to {$180.00} until XX/XX/XXXX then the last payment would be {$110.00} due on XX/XX/XXXX. Since XXXX I have made all the payments on time, yet, the payments on the account look like I have not paid per the agreement b/c the payment amount is no the " original '' complete amount. So it is the constant rolling 30 day or more late. Once it becomes 60 days late according the the account they then report me late, but technically I am not as I am making the payments at least a day or two before the due date. They have now reported me late once again this month and this is not correct.

I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

I am writing to dispute the accuracy of certain information on my credit report, specifically pertaining to the account with the following details : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. It has come to my attention that late payment dates are reported on the aforementioned account, which I believe to be inaccurate. I wish to bring to your attention that, based on the merits of my situation, I was assured by the creditor that no late payments would be reported due to a death in the family. The circumstances surrounding the death in the family led to an agreement with the bank to temporarily hold off on incurring interest and payments. As such, the account status should accurately reflect that payments were made as agreed and that the account was never reported as late. I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ). I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
