Re : Dispute of Unauthorized Inquiries on my credit report I am writing to dispute unauthorized inquiries on my credit report maintained by your agency. Despite my previous attempts to resolve this issue, these inquiries remain on my report.

I have contacted XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Equifax and informed them of the unauthorized activity. However, they have refused to remove the inquiries.

Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to notify you of inaccuracies in your reporting concerning my account. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you, as the furnisher of information, are legally obligated to ensure the accuracy of the data you report. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed that the account mentioned above is being inaccurately reported as both a charge-off and a collection account. As per my understanding, once a debt is charged off, it is considered canceled, and a Form 1099-C must be issued as evidence of this cancellation. Therefore, the debt should either reflect as canceled, or the current balance displayed on my credit report should be corrected. 

This inaccurate reporting violates the FCRA. I demand an immediate investigation into this issue, and I expect the necessary corrections to be made promptly.

Complaint narrative:
I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts 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 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:
The credit bureau, ( Experian/XXXX  XXXX has allowed an account from XXXX XXXX XXXX to be reported without properly verifying its accuracy. This account has no identifiable account number, is misrepresented as Original Creditor, and was illegally re-aged. Despite disputing this with the bureau, it has remained on my report, resulting in a significant credit score drop. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure the accuracy and completeness of reported information. I am seeking the immediate removal of this inaccurate account and for the bureau to enforce proper verification standards moving forward.

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. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. 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.
