Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Multiple records of delinquencies on my credit report. 
As you know, my situation with payments were caused by started and ongoing for a time loan modification. My mortgage holder literally " required '' me to be behind on at least XXXX payments, even though when I first called for assistance, I was current, but I knew that it is about to get challenging for me to pay further, as I had a medical condition, that was to prevent me from working for a period of time. 
I was literally advised that in order to get assistance or even apply for it I am to miss at least XXXX payments. I followed advise. 
Loan modification process was out of my control in terms on how long it has been taking, and it took unreasonably long time. The mortgage holder was very inefficient. 
Now I am being punished with my credit history records. I consider it unfair, if even legal and REQUEST THE DELINQUENCY RECORDS TO BE CLEARED FROM MY CREDIT HISTYORY IMMEDIATELY, as they affecting my life in a very negative way.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the following federal student loan accounts listed on my credit report. These loans were issued under the U.S. Department of Education, which has since been abolished, rendering these debts legally unenforceable and unverifiable.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX 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 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the collection account being reported by Harris & Harris Ltd. I requested full validation of the debt, including a copy of the original utility account agreement, itemized charges, and proof of ownership or legal transfer. They failed to provide proper validation or documentation within the required timeframe under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

This collection is related to a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, but I never agreed to a debt with Harris & Harris Ltd, and they have not proven the debt is accurate or legally owed. Reporting this account without proper validation violates both FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ).

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report. 
Request I request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made. 
Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation.
