To whom it may concern I RECENTLY received a copy of my CONSUMER REPORT and I noticed some late payments being posted on my CONSUMER REPORT! XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX are in CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE LAW! Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports. The LAW CLEARLY STATES a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.I did not GIVE ANY WRITTEN instructions to FURNISH a late payment from XXXX on my CONSUMER REPORT! The late payment came from a fraudulent purchase that was made while I was incarcerated and eventually incurred a late payment. Now further more the FCRA 15 U.S. Code 1681a - Definitions ; rules of construction SO EXCLUSION from a CONSUMER REPORT, clearly states 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include A ) subject to section 1681s3 of this title, any ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ;. So therefore a LATE-PAYMENT is a TRANSACTIONAL experience between the CONSUMER. Which CONGRESS define consumer ( c ) The term consumer means an individual. Which is an INDIVIDUAL ( me ), and the person making the REPORT which is XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. So since its a TRANSACTION between the CONSUMER and the PERSON! Delete the above LATE-PAYMENT FROM MY CONSUMER REPORT! This AGENCY is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681. Now Im not telling you to delete the account! Im asking for you to delete the above LATE PAYMENTS which are in violation of being REPORTED and keep the account.Now FAILURE TO RESPOND! I will take LEGAL ACTION. Due to you being in VIOLATION OF THE LAW! The law SAYS under CIVIL LIABILITY. 15 U.S. Code 1681n - Civil liability for willful noncompliance a ) In general Any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) ( A ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} ; or ( B ) in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or {$1000.00}, whichever is greater ;.

The existence of a derogatory rating on my account is causing me significant concern. I am deeply worried about its potential impact on my credit. It has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts. I want to emphasize the severe financial and emotional distress that this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved.

Recently, I conducted an investigation on my credit report, and let me tell you, it really took a toll on me. I felt incredibly depressed upon discovering numerous items that were unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable. It was alarming to see that your agency had not ensured the information was reported correctly. 

You see, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it's crucial for everything on my credit report to be 100 % accurate. And guess what? These accounts I found are in direct violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) since they are not reporting information that is 100 % accurate. This is something that needs to be addressed and rectified as soon as possible.

Recently ( XXXX ) spoke with XXXX at IQ data international regarding a debt to a property. Tried to start making some type of payments towards balance. Representative was harassing me about making a payment right then and there as well as telling background personal on my end to give me money to make payments. Tried calling again today ( XXXX XXXX ) spoke with him again. He was asking what my paydays were and why I picked a specific date to make a payment. He insinuated I was trying to lease which I why called. He also called me from a spam risk number telling me to make a payment which he gave me a week to think on this payment. Also told him I had a roommate so he states the balance is on both our credits. He states either party can make a payment in order to be removed which I do not think is fair
