Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: CAINE & WEINER COMPANY, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Cease Unauthorized Credit Reporting Immediately Reference to South Carolina FCRA Identity Theft Fraud Laws Dear CAINE & WEINER COMPA, I am writing to formally address a serious issue involving the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) as stipulated by Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), South Carolina Code of Laws under Sections 37-20-110 and 37-20-120, and identity theft laws, specifically South Carolina Code Section 16-13-510.

It has recently come to my attention that CAINE & WEINER COMPA has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that consumer consent is a fundamental requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, South Carolina state law, specifically Section 37-20-110 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Furthermore, Section 37-20-120 of the South Carolina Code of Laws provides clear guidelines for the proper handling of consumer credit information. Concurrently, identity theft laws, such as South Carolina Code Section 16-13-510, underscore the seriousness of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information.

I assert with absolute certainty that I have not provided consent for CAINE & WEINER COMPA to report any information to my credit report. This clear absence of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, potentially harming my creditworthiness and demonstrating a complete disregard for federal and state laws.

I demand, unequivocally, that CAINE & WEINER COMPA immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Sections 37-20-110 and 37-20-120 of the South Carolina Code of Laws. Failure to comply within the provided 30-day timeframe will be considered willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity theft laws.

It is crucial to understand that obtaining consent is not discretionary but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA, South Carolina state law, and identity theft laws. This is not negotiable ; it is a demand for adherence to both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and detrimental credit reporting.

I expect your immediate attention to this matter and insist that CAINE & WEINER COMPA promptly rectify these violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws.

Complaint narrative:
PHH Mortgage Services approved a loan modification for me in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. I sent them all the loan modification documents notarized and they claim to have never received the documents. Also, I spoke to a PHH Mortgage customer service rep over the phone on a recorded line and the rep stated that they received the documents. I filed an appeal and they denied my appeal and now I am facing foreclosure. In reviewing my mortgage statements I see that PHH Mortgage has actually charged me thousands of dollars in expenses over the years. In year XXXX, almost 70 % of my balance owed is expenses. In researching PHH Mortgage I discovered that there are many law suits against PHH Mortgage for highly suspect fraudulent actions against mortgage holders.

Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with 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 XXXX to XX/XX/year> 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 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
