Complaint narrative:
My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 MONTHS REPORTING LATE 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.

This company 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.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Request for Removal of XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request the removal of a late payment entry associated with my account XXXX under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, creditors have an obligation to report accurate information to credit reporting agencies. I believe that the late payment reported in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX does not accurately reflect my payment history, and therefore violates this provision. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1666b and 15 U.S. Code 1681i, I have the right to dispute any inaccuracies and to have them investigated. I request that you review my payment history and consider removing the late payment from my credit report. 

I have always valued my relationship with XXXX XXXX XXXX and have made all my payments on time, except for this instance, which I believe may have been an error due to a delay in payment processing. Specifically, my payment was submitted, but it was processed XXXX  days later through no fault of my own. I have attached supporting documents that reflect the timing of my payment submission and the delay in processing. 

I kindly ask that you provide me with a response to this request within XXXX  days. Should you find that the information reported is incorrect, I would appreciate your assistance in correcting it with the credit reporting agencies. 

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

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Earlier today, I found unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, and I can't figure out why. When I usually check my report, everything is fine, but this time I found these discrepancies. I refreshed my browser hoping it was an error, but the unauthorized inquiries stayed there. I'm requesting a detailed review of the documents I've sent to prevent this from happening again and finally put this issue to rest.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Discover Financial Services regarding serious discrepancies and mishandling of my account. 

I have requested that Discover stop reporting to the credit bureaus due to an inaccurate balance they claim I owe. This inaccuracy stems from multiple fraudulent charges on my account, which were not appropriately managed. When I reported being a victim of identity theft and a data breach, Discover failed to file a fraud claim instead, they incorrectly classified my situation as a billing dispute. 

Despite providing police reports and evidence of the data breach, no one has reviewed the over 140 fraudulent charges that were logged. My credit card account is now closed and pending charge-off, which is significantly harming my credit score. 

Moreover, Discover has charged me for transactions I had already paid, leading to a further inaccurate balance. This situation forced me to cease payments, as I can no longer trust the integrity of my account. 

I have previously submitted a complaint to the CFPB, but my concerns have continually been closed without resolution. I urgently need assistance in addressing these issues. I request that a representative from Discover contact me directly to review my transactions and rectify the inaccuracies so that I can reopen my account. 

Throughout my time with Discover, I have always made timely payments and have never missed any obligations. As a victim of a data breach, I am concerned about the numerous digital fraudulent charges that were not handled properly. 

Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. I look forward to a timely resolution.

I was shocked to see inaccurate accounts appear on my credit report this morning, and I have no clue why theyre there. I check my credit regularly, but this time, there were unexpected discrepancies. I even tried refreshing my browser, thinking it was a glitch, but nothing changed. The inaccurate accounts stayed after multiple refreshes. Because of this, Im urgently requesting that the documents Ive sent be reviewed thoroughly so I can put this worry behind me for good.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing regarding my recent dispute involving an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX. On XX/XX/2024, I submitted a formal dispute to TransUnion, identifying this account as fraudulent. Following this, on XX/XX/2024, the account was deleted from my credit report after I submitted an FTC Identity Theft Report. However, I was not notified of the account deletion, as required by Section 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ), which mandates that consumers be informed of the results of any dispute investigation.

Additionally, I am formally requesting all documentation related to dispute number XXXX, in accordance with my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681g, which entitles consumers to access information in their file, including the results of any investigation and the source of disputed information. 

On XX/XX/2024, at XXXX XXXX  EST, I spoke with a supervisor at TransUnion regarding this account. The supervisor informed me that the creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, had reinserted the account into my credit report. Despite my concerns, the representative stated that " TransUnion does not investigate disputes '' and that I would need to wait 30 days for the creditor to respond. This statement appears to conflict with the requirements of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which obligates a consumer reporting agency to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information unless the dispute is deemed frivolous or irrelevant.

Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) requires that, if a deleted item is reinserted into a consumers file, the consumer must be notified within five business days, along with the reasons for the reinsertion and the source of the information. As of the date of this letter, I have not received any such notification. 
I respectfully request immediate action to rectify this situation, including : 1. Documentation related to dispute number XXXX and the deletion of the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX account.

2. Confirmation of the steps taken to investigate my original dispute, as required by law.

3. An explanation of how and why this account was reinserted without proper notification, per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

Failure to comply with these requests may result in further action to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response within the timeframe required by law.

I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.
