Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.

Complaint narrative:
b'I am writing to formally report and seek immediate resolution regarding a fraudulent XXXX  account that has negatively impacted my credit and financial standing.\n\nOn or around XXXX XXXX XXXX, I applied for a home loan and discovered a collection account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This account, which I never authorized or opened, resulted in a XXXX-point drop in my credit score. After several hours on the phone with XXXX representatives, I was able to obtain the fraudulent account number: XXXX XXXX XXXX. It was determined that this account had been open for 2 years, 4 months, and 22 days at the time of discovery.\n\nIts important to note that I already have a legitimate and current XXXX account, which is up to date with payments. This fraudulent account is entirely separate and unauthorized.\n\nFollowing my conversation with XXXXXXXX, a fraud report was filed under ID number XXXX, and I was instructed to file a police report, which I completed under report number XXXX. I then mailed copies of the police report, fraud packet, and my government-issued ID to Source Receivables Management, as directed.\n\nUnfortunately, I have not received any response or update regarding the resolution of this case. Given the damage this has caused to my credit score and financial prospects, I was advised to file a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to help expedite the matter.\n\nI respectfully request:\n\nImmediate removal of the fraudulent XXXX account from my credit report.\n\nFull resolution of the fraud investigation.\n\nWritten confirmation once the matter is closed and the negative mark is removed.\n\nPlease feel free to reach out with any questions or if additional documentation is needed. I appreciate your prompt attention to this serious matter.'

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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.

EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION 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!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports
