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

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN 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.

EXPERIAN 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 am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
RE : Formal Dispute Midland Credit Management Collection ( Acct # : XXXX ) To Whom It May Concern, This is a formal dispute of the information being reported on my credit file regarding a Midland Credit Management account ( Acct # : XXXX ). The account is listed as a collection account with a past due balance of {$4100.00} and a date opened of XX/XX/XXXX, with recent updates as of XX/XX/XXXX. 
This account is being disputed on the following legal grounds : 1. Unverifiable Debt Buyer Status FCRA 1681i & 1692g ( b ) Midland Credit Management is a third-party debt buyer. They are not the original creditor, and no documentation has been provided to verify the chain of title, legal right to collect, or original account details.

2. Account Reporting During a Declared Disaster FCRA 1681c & CARES Act This account reflects deferment from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  to XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  due to a natural or declared disaster. Reporting negative or collection activity during that period may violate federal regulations and consumer protection laws. 
3. Inaccurate and Potentially Re-aged Reporting FCRA 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) The account shows a date opened in XX/XX/XXXX, which is after the deferment period began suggesting re-aging of the debt or improper date assignment. 
4. Lack of Validation Documentation FDCPA 809 ( b ) As required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a debt buyer must provide proper validation of the debt, including the original creditor name, amount, contract, and payment history. This has not been provided. 
DEMAND : I am requesting a full reinvestigation of this account. If Midland Credit Management can not produce full validation, including the original contract and itemized billing history, this account must be permanently deleted from my credit file. Please provide written confirmation of the reinvestigation results within 30 days.

Complaint narrative:
I have never legally gone by these personal information nor do not currently reside at the listed residence. The inclusion of inaccurate aliases and unrelated or outdated addresses not only violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) which requires credit reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy but also creates a serious risk of identity confusion and impairs my ability to obtain credit under accurate and fair conditions. The presence of such erroneous personal information also raises concerns of data mishandling, especially in light of recent national data breaches. Despite previous attempts to have this information corrected, Bureaus might have failed to remove the incorrect aliases and address entries, even though I have never used these names and do not reside at the listed locations.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.

Despite disputing the account with each credit bureau and providing supporting documentation, the bureaus have refused to remove the information and continue to list the account as valid. This is severely affecting my credit standing and causing significant distress. 

I have also contacted XXXX XXXX  directly and informed them that I did not authorize this account. However, the account remains reported as my responsibility.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Repossession — Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Me and my cosigner ( XXXX XXXX ) financed a vehicle through Westlake Financial in XX/XX/XXXX. After making two payments, I experienced job loss and could not continue making payments. In XX/XX/XXXX, the vehicle was repossessed from a mechanic shop without any prior notice. I initially believed it had been stolen. I did not receive any notice of repossession, notice of intent to sell, or any post-sale deficiency letter as required by California Civil Code 2983.2. 

I later learned the vehicle was sold at auction in XX/XX/XXXX, but Westlake never informed me of the sale price, how it was applied to my balance, or sent any documentation about the sale. They are now attempting to collect a deficiency of {$7400.00}, or offering to settle for {$1400.00}. 

I sent both a certified letter XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and an email XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  requesting the sale price, a full accounting of my balance, and copies of the required notices. I have received no response. This appears to be a clear violation of California Civil Code 2983.2 and 2983.8, which state a lender must provide timely notice and can not collect a deficiency if those steps are not followed. 

The last collection/settlement email was sent XX/XX/XXXX, and after I sent the demand letter/email these suddenly stopped. It seems as though they received these documents, then chose not to respond once I cited the California civil codes. 

I am asking the CFPB to investigate and ensure Westlake either provides proper documentation or ceases all collection efforts related to this deficiency balance.
