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 these items.

Company: Absolute Resolutions Corp.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
This company, Absolute Resolutions is continuously reporting inaccurate, unverified and mismatched data across all 3 of my consumer credit reports. In this latest example as you can see in the attached documentation, they are reporting the date of last activity on my XXXX report as XX/XX/XXXX. My XXXX report with a date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX, and my XXXX report with a date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX. If the information was accurate, why is it reporting three different dates to include a date just a few days ago?

Date of last activity can only be changed or updated for the following reasons. 1. The consumer makes a payment. 2. The consumer misses a payment. 3. The balance of the account INCREASES. NONE of which occurred on this alleged " CHARGE OFF ACCOUNT '' that they are reporting as a " '' COLLECTION ACCOUNT ''. The company failed and continues to fail and adhere to following the guidelines, standards and laws when it comes to the FCRA and Federal Laws pertaining to debt collections and reporting. See the attached documentation showing the inaccurate, mismatched, and different information across all three credit bureaus.

I have 2 different credit monitoring accounts, neither which is showing anything for the past 10 years in the amount the texts claim to be owed.

The contact number in the text messages does not match the contact number listed on the Unifin Inc website either which further leads me to believe it is a scam.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint regarding inaccurate information reported on my credit report related to my XXXX account number XXXX XX/XX/2022 XXXX XXXX.Specifically, late payments were reported for XX/XX/2022 and XX/XX/2022, which I believe to be inaccurate due to the legal protections in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following federal laws protect my consumer rights and have been violated in this case : 1. CFRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ) This law requires that any negative information on credit reports must be accurate and verifiable. In this case, the reported late payments do not reflect my financial situation during the protected period under COVID-19 regulations.

2. CARES Act ( Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ) Under this law, if a financial assistance or deferment agreement was in place due to hardships caused by the pandemic, payments should be reported according to the terms of that agreement. During the period in question, I was under a COVID-19-related assistance plan, so the late payment information is inaccurate.

3. TILA ( Truth in Lending Act ) This law requires creditors to provide clear and accurate information to consumers. The account statements for the months in question do not reflect the COVID-19 assistance terms, violating this requirement.

I have attempted to resolve this issue directly with the credit bureaus and the creditor, but I have not received an appropriate resolution. Therefore, I am requesting the CFPBs intervention to investigate this matter and ensure that my credit report is corrected in accordance with the legal protections provided during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Attached is a copy of my credit report highlighting the inaccurate late payments, as well as supporting documentation showing that I was enrolled in a COVID-19 assistance plan.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a favorable resolution that ensures the accuracy of my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Collection Account Request for Removal Due to Lack of Debt Validation To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of a collection account listed on my credit report under the account # [ Account Number ]. I previously requested debt validation from the collection agency handling this account, but they failed to provide the required validation.

According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 809 ( a ), a collection agency must provide verification of the debt upon request. Since the collection agency has not provided this validation, the collection account should not be reported on my credit file.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ), I am requesting that you reinvestigate this matter. The continued reporting of this collection account without proper validation is inaccurate and violates the FDCPA.

Please remove this collection account from my credit report and provide written confirmation of this action. If the collection agency can not validate the debt, the account must be deleted from my credit file as required by law.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem.

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.

This morning I opened a Bank of America Checking account. During this process, funds in the amount of {$25.00} were deposited to complete the process. After completing this process I enrolled in the Online Banking function, which is the only function of this bank I intended to use. After enrolling, I was immediately locked out of the account, and out of access to my funds. Bank of America 's phone support was completely unhelpful and says my account is " too new to be verified online ''. They are trying to forced me to drive miles out of my way to go to a physical branch, which I flat out refuse to do.
