Complaint narrative:
Experian is reporting XXXX XXXX  on my credit report, but this account and balance do not belong to me. I have disputed this multiple times with Experian, yet they continue to violate the rules and regulations regarding the handling of fraudulent accounts and identity theft. 

Once again, I am attaching the removal letter from XXXX XXXX to request the removal of this account from my report. This situation is fraudulent, and Experian has not complied with the required time frame to investigate and correct this urgent matter. 

This needs to be addressed immediately.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX 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. 


EQUIFAX XXXX 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!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

I was looking for a loan and ended with a company that said they would help me with my debt and my credit will get better. The are called Beyond Finance with XXXX XXXX XXXX. One day I get a notification that XXXX accounts were placed in collections and then I went to check the account because I thought I saw that they were making payments to them when I look at my account. I realize that theyre making payments to another credit card company that is more than XXXX XXXX XXXX and wasnt even on my credit report at all. XXXX XXXX was what we agreed on and they were paying XXXX XXXX instead. It was removed years ago and somehow they got in communication with each other and started paying them payments towards an old balance, again about 15 years ago. I asked them to get the payments back and apply them to the accounts that we are originally agreed upon since they could find the " email they sent to me for approval. They didnt want to do that and then they wanted to charge me a fee for canceling eventually they didnt charge me the fee because more than likely they knew they messed up. They also kept the money that was in a secure bank account as well.
