I placed some disputes with Equifax dated XX/XX/. I disputed late payments on closed accounts. The last reported late payment is greater than XXXX XXXX XXXX. The original credit report showed on-time payments and late payments. 
On XX/XX/, Equifax 's new credit report reported my own time payments as " unable to verify '' but reported the same late payments. As a result, my credit score dropped XXXX points. I never disputed my on-time payments. 
I reviewed my credit reports and there were no other changes. So removing my " on-time '' payments to " unable to verify '' payments decreased my credit score by XXXX points.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NE)

On, XX/XX/2019, I enrolled for ACH withdrawal of my mortgage payment on XXXX XXXX online account center and there were no errors shown. So I thought everything was setup correctly and so forgot about it. 

On XX/XX/2019, we found a letter on front porch of our house indicating that we were late on mortgage payments. I was surprised at seeing that and immediately logged into my account, and first thing I I did was to clear the pending balance on the account and then started investigating what happened. 

As I looked online at all the documents that they mailed, I did see that they did mail a notice to my home address about an issue with my ACH setup. But when looked at the address closely, I noticed that the mailing address was incorrect. The street address was correct but it had a different city and zip code. I was very sure that at one point I was receiving my statements from them, so when I looked at the old statements online, they had the correct mailing address until XX/XX/2019 but starting with XX/XX/2019 statement, they had incorrect address. I never contacted them to change the address and they changed my personal information without my consent. 

Due to unauthorized change of mailing address, I never received any notifications of incorrect ACH setup or about late payments. I now have a " 30 Day Late Payment '' remark on my credit report that has adversely impacting my credit score and will continue to impact for the next seven year. Had I know that there was an issue with my ACH  setup, I would have taken care of it immediately and resolved the issue before it went to past due status. All this for the mistake that the bank did on their part by changing the mailing address without my authorization. 

I tried to dispute this with the bank and the credit reporting agencies with no success. I kindly request you to please help me resolve this issue.
