XXXX XXXX XXXX. Account number XXXX. {$120.00}. Dispute Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681i, I am exercising my right to dispute inaccurate or unverifiable information. I am requesting the removal of the following account from my report.

This account is being reported inaccurately. I have not been provided with verifiable proof that this debt exists or that it is being reported accurately. Under the FCRA, you are required to conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days. If you can not verify the account with competent evidence, you must delete it from my credit file. 

Furthermore, I am invoking the principle from Engelhardt v. Gravens ( Mo ) 281 S.W. 715, 719 under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, your failure to provide proof is taken as evidence that no such debt exists. Therefore, continued reporting of this account would be a violation of federal law.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. A couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

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:
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 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 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX  XXXX 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 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. 

XXXX  XXXX 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

Complaint narrative:
At the end of my lease maturity date of XX/XX/year>25 I decided to buy out my lease. When I looked at my account h def payment history it showed that they took an additional payment ( which was not agreed upon in our contract so they stole the money ) My last payment was supposed to be XX/XX/year>25. 
When I noticed the additional payment I called them immediately to file a complaint. They said they couldnt do anything about it until the car is paid off. Well the car is paid off I paid in full ( cash ) at the dealership. 
Now in XXXX still no check from XXXX weeks later and they mysteriously removed evidence on their end in my payment account that showed the XX/XX/XXXX payment overage payment to them. So I provided them with proof of payment from my bank. Then I notice a {$15.00} fee for insufficient funds This lease has been paid off for almost 3 weeks now and they owe me a check reimbursement for XXXX but refuse to pay it. The representatives lie about what proof and evidence they receive and have. This is fraud and theft. They need to be held accountable for their dishonest practices. After reviewing XXXX  complaints this seems to be a common XXXX  that XXXX does to their customers.
