Complaint narrative:
My rights under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, specifically 15 USC 6802 ( b ) and ( c ), have been violated by the improper handling of my personal financial information. 

According to 15 USC 6802 ( b ), financial institutions must provide clear and conspicuous notice about their privacy policies and practices, including the categories of information collected and disclosed, and the third parties with whom the information is shared. 

Additionally, 15 USC 6802 ( c ) requires that customers be given the opportunity to opt-out of the disclosure of their nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties. 

The specific ways my rights have been violated are as follows : Lack of Proper Notice : I have not received any clear and conspicuous notice from the financial institution ( XXXX ) responsible for the information reported to your bureau about their privacy policies and practices. There was no explanation of the categories of information collected and disclosed, nor a list of the categories of third parties with whom my information might be shared. 

Failure to Provide Opt-Out Opportunity : I should have been given the option to opt-out of any sharing of my nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties. To date, I have not been provided with any means to exercise this right. 

Unauthorized Disclosure : Without the proper notice and the opportunity to opt-out, my personal financial information has been shared with nonaffiliated third parties. This unauthorized disclosure has led to the inclusion of inaccurate information on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and 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 reported in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) to be removed. 

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.

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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
