Company: FORD MOTOR CREDIT CO.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against Ford Motor Credit due to their failure to properly credit same-day payments made through their online payment system. This issue results in late payments being reported to the credit bureaus, which is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and federal credit reporting laws. 

Under the FCRA, creditors who report to credit bureaus must provide accurate information and must correct or delete any information that can not be verified as accurate. Specifically, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) mandates that furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies, such as Ford Motor Credit , have a duty to provide accurate information and update or correct any inaccurate information. Furthermore, if you dispute an item on your credit report and the furnisher fails to adequately investigate and respond, they violate the FCRA. Ford Motor Credit 's failure to properly credit payments and their lack of response to disputes through credit agencies or direct communication is a breach of these obligations.

Additionally, creditors are required to adopt reasonable procedures to ensure accurate reporting of account status. Ford Motor Credit 's failure to credit same-day payments accurately leads to false reporting of late payments, which is both misleading and damaging to my credit report. The FCRA ensures that every consumer has the right to dispute inaccurate information and requires the furnisher to conduct a reasonable investigation into the dispute. Ford Motor Credits actions not only obstruct my ability to maintain a fair credit report but also directly violate federal law by not validating the debts when requested and by failing to respond properly to disputes.

I demand that Ford Motor Credit remove the late payments from my credit report for the XXXX  XXXX XXXX, as their practices violate the FCRA. If they continue to report inaccurate information or fail to correct their systems to prevent further errors, I will pursue all available legal remedies under the FCRA, including seeking damages for any harm to my credit reputation.

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:
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.
