Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections XXXX ( XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ), XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), and XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ). 
After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : Disputed Inquiry : XXXX XX/XX/year> Basis for Dispute Section XXXX ( XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report. 
Section XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Request XXXX request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Complaint narrative:
My accounts were always on time! With XXXX XXXX, I had a wonderful payment history, and every payment was set up on autopay. They processed the transaction incorrectly on their end, which is why this late payment is being reported. 

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!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing concerning my experience with Discover that is both a grateful thank- you and a pressing request concerning a trade-line in my credit files that I would like to have revised. 
I received my Discover on XX/XX/year> and took pride in the fact that all my payments were routinely made in a timely manner. Unfortunately, in XXXX XXXX XXXX I had a tragic accident, and was hospitalized with XXXX XXXX, and was in XXXX XXXX over XXXX. I am the sole provider for our family and was unable to go to work for over a month. 
I did use what little vacation and sick time I had to cover our living expenses but needless to say, this left us in an unfavorable position financially. Not only do we have XXXX young children but it was at the hardest time of the year since it was XXXX. Concessions had to be made and re- gretfully, this led to a late payment on my { discover } account. 
The loss of income, even though it was a short period of time was a brutal wake-up call for me concerning financial responsibility. Since that incident, I have learned the essential organization- al and financial management skills I desperately needed at that point and my payment history from { XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) reflects that. I wish to thank you for your renewed confidence in me and for giving me a second chance at a positive relationship with { discover }, XXXX that I am deter- mined to keep untarnished. 
I am about to begin the process of purchasing a new home, and it has come to my attention that the late notation from Discover }, XXXX prevent me from taking full ad- vantage of the best interest rates available. Since that notation does not reflect my current status with Discover }, I am requesting that you please give me a second chance at a posi- tive credit rating by revising those tradelines. I sincerely hope that there is redemption at { discover discover }, and I plead for such consideration. 
If any additional documentation would assist in reaching a positive outcome, please feel free to

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out to dispute an issue with my consumer report. There are late payments showing for the months of XXXX and XX/XX/year>, but this is simply not correct. Ive always been on top of my payments during that time, and I dont understand how this mistake ended up on my report. This incorrect reporting isnt just frustratingits unfair. Its also a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit reporting agencies and furnishers to ensure the information they report is accurate. Additionally, this may violate New Jerseys consumer protection laws, which safeguard individuals like me from having inaccurate information harm their credit. Im asking for these late payments to be removed from my report immediately. This mistake is hurting my credit and could impact me financially if its not fixed. Id appreciate it if you could investigate this issue and let me know once the corrections have been made. Thank you for your time and attention, and Im hoping to see this resolved quickly.
