The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files. If you feel there is a possibility these items belong to me, I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that these items are 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ).

Around the end of XXXX XXXX of XXXX, I contacted Home Depot Credit Services for resolution to defaulted account with a balance of around {$700.00} at the time. I was effected by job loss and covid displacement and informed I was entitled to programs which would help for each circumstance and phase out this bill and keep from collections and negative reporting of my credit. I was informed after forgiveness of late fees associated with the account was granted and the new balance was {$420.00}. I was told this is where the covid relief plan implemented that day would take of this and the account would be closed and no longer usable. For over a year I never received any info the account was active, at one point the account was removed and closed with {$0.00} balance on my credit report before XX/XX/XXXX where it now shows as a collection of {$800.00}. I spoke to Home Depot and they have record by voice recording of these proceedings but " have no way of forwarding this to me or the collection agency and it is out of their hands. '' Citi bank states to have had the collection for over a year but never sent out any correspondence when the account was sold the same month I had it resolved. Being told " it's too late '' to do anything should be against the law, the representative of their company should be held accountable not my credit. I have been unable to secure housing based on the negative effects of this on my report.

Subject : Dispute of Late Payment Reporting during COVID-19 Pandemic To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute a late payment entry on my credit report related to my account with ASPIRE. The late payment in question occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, and I believe it was inaccurately reported. I am seeking your assistance in rectifying this matter. I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed that late payments have been reported on XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX for my account with ASPIRE. I would like to bring to your attention that during the period encompassed by the late payment, I was granted an " accommodation '' by ASPIRE as defined under the provisions of 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( f ) ( i ) ( I ). According to the definitions provided in the subsection : " Accommodation '' includes various forms of assistance extended to consumers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as deferring payments, making partial payments, forbearing delinquent amounts, modifying loans or contracts, and other relief measures. The " covered period '' pertains to the time during which the consumer is affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19 ) pandemic. During this covered period, I was adversely impacted by the pandemic, leading to the " accommodation '' granted to me by [ Creditor 's Name ]. As a result, I am disputing the late payment entry as it does not accurately reflect the circumstances and the " accommodation '' provided by the creditor in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I kindly request that you investigate and correct this error on my credit report. As per the FCRA, I have the right to accurate and fair reporting of my credit information. Please provide me with a written response confirming the results of your investigation and any updates made to my credit report as a result of this dispute. Additionally, if any documentation is required from my end to facilitate this process, please let me know. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution of this dispute. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

For the last 2 years I have been trying to send my information in to Equifax to lift a freeze that was set on my account without my permission, and every time I would send in the documents and wait for up to 7 business days " they can't find my documents ''. I have sent these documents 5 different times and was given a fax number that was different at least 3 different times. When I asked to speak to the manager, he told me the same thing that the rep was telling me " to send in my documents through the fax number or mail ''. Each time I called they told me the information was correct there was someone else 's name under the account.
