Contacted Equifax and XXXX at least 10 times already regarding this account and they came back verified. 

Here I attached Evidence this account can not be verified. This is a copy of the response I got directly XXXX XXXX XXXX. They have nothing on file and directed me to speak with XXXX XXXX. I already contacted XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) through the CFPB who had nothing on file and already withdrew their claim to this debt and stopped all collection activity so tell me how can Equifax and XXXX verify this?. Now if neither XXXX XXXX XXXX  nor XXXX XXXX has anything to verify this claim HOW IS IT POSSIPLE EQUIFAX VERIFIED THIS ACCOUNT? THIS IS FRAUD AND I WILL BE SUEING IF THIS IS NOT REMOVED IMMEDIATELY. XXXX already deleted this account months ago. 
Check the attachments to see XXXX XXXX  withdraw claim months ago and also a letter from credit bank as well recently stating they have nothing and should contact XXXX funding since the account was sold to them. Its impossible for Equifax or XXXX to verify this account since neither company can verify when I contacted them directly. 
Remove this account right away, this is a fraudulent entry on my report and both Equifax and XXXX are breaking the law and committing repeated FCRA violations. 
These credit reporting agencies are willfully defaming and will be suing to the full extent I'm allowed for damages to my financial well being.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (MS)

The company is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I received phone calls from this company daily sometimes two or three times a day. I have called them back several times requesting information on the debt so I can verify its legitimacy. The company has refused to send me any information. On XX/XX/XXXX sometimes in the XXXX oclock hour, I received phone call from them. I returned a phone call and the person on phone transferred me to a young lady who called herself XXXX. Again requested information to verify that the company is a legitimate company and the debt is mine. XXXX stated that I just need to send money and paid the bill. I told her that I was not going to send money to a company whom I dont know. I again asked her to send me information to verify the company and the debt. She again refused and said I needed to pay {$1100.00}. I stated to her that I was not sending money to a company that I was not sure was even a legitimate company. I also told her that the fact that she was refusing to send me information made me believe that she was a scammer. That made her angry, she started yelling insults and called me broke. I hung the phone up in her face. I am a professional middle aged woman. I refused to be harassed by this company. If they had sent the information and I verified the company and the debt, I would have paid it, I believe this company is a scam. If not their conduct is very unprofessional. Please address this issue and I appreciate your time in the matter. Thank you.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PA)

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports
