Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX EXPERIAN XXXX 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. 


XXXX EXPERIAN 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
Demand for Exclusion of Transactions from Consumer Report Pursuant to FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1666b To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the exclusion of specific transaction on my consumer report. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1666b, I demand the exclusion of the following transactions : XXXX - XXXX Under 15 U.S.C. 1666b, which establishes consumer rights concerning the reporting of disputed billing errors, it is explicitly required that consumers must be provided with all necessary disclosures as outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1637b. These disclosures are essential to ensure a consumer 's understanding of the terms and the extent of their obligations. Failure to provide these disclosures constitutes a clear violation of the FCRA and places an obligation on Equifax to exclude these disputed transactions from my report immediately.

It is well-established that the FCRA imposes a duty on consumer reporting agencies to maintain accurate and complete information. The failure to provide required disclosures directly violates my rights under the law and has been addressed in relevant court cases, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ), which affirmed that credit reporting agencies must take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of reported information, especially when consumer rights are at stake. Furthermore, in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ), the court reiterated the consumer 's right to dispute and seek removal of incorrect or incomplete information in the absence of the required disclosures.

In light of these facts and the legal precedents set forth, I hereby demand the immediate exclusion of the aforementioned transactions from my consumer report. Failure to address this matter appropriately will leave me with no choice but to escalate this dispute, including but not limited to filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and pursuing further legal action to protect my rights.

I expect a response within 30 days of receipt of this letter, as mandated by federal law.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

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. ''

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:
I applied for a personal loan thru my local bank and was notified at this time that there was a Capitol One Credit Card on my credit bureau that was showing as a bad debt. I contacted Capitol One immediately and notified them that this was not my account and that it was fraudulent. They conducted an investigation and stated that this was my account and I asked them how they are linking this account to me and there has not been one person that can give me a reason as to why they are linking this credit card to me. I have told them over and over again that this is not my account. I have never applied for a Capitol One credit card nor have I ever received a Capitol One credit card. This was done fraudulent and is not my account.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding XXXX XXXX inaccurate reporting of late payments on my credit report, despite my efforts to settle my account in full. 

On XX/XX/year>, my wife made a payment of {$320.00}. I followed up with an additional payment of {$350.00} on XX/XX/year>, to ensure the account was fully paid off. When I called XXXX XXXX, a representative confirmed that my balance was XXXX and assured me that everything was up to date. 

In the months following, I contacted XXXX XXXX an additional 3-4 times to verify my account status and was consistently informed that my balance remained clear. However, two months later, I received an unexpected invoice from XXXX XXXX stating that I owed additional funds, despite my prior payments and their repeated confirmation of a XXXX balance. 

Without any further noticeno calls, emails, or correspondenceXXXX XXXX began reporting negative information on my credit report, which has significantly damaged my credit score. I believe this balance was due to their error, as they failed to disclose any remaining balance at the time of my payments or during my follow-up calls. Had I been informed, I would have immediately resolved it to avoid this impact. 


Thank you for your attention to this matter.
