Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
Some time ago, I discovered numerous entries on my credit report that I believe to be fraudulent. These accounts are unfamiliar to me, and I am uncertain of their origin. In response, I requested validation from the bureau for each of these accounts, specifically asking for the original contracts to understand who might have used my identity and to have these entries removed. Despite submitting a letter and an FTC report as requested by the bureau two months ago, I have yet to receive the original contracts or see any changes to the information on my report.
