I hope this complaint finds you well. Over the past couple of years, I have continually tried to get this inaccurate alleged account removed from my consumer report. Equifax and XXXX XXXX is constantly violating my federally protected rights.

I have previously sent XXXX XXXX a letter demanding them to abide by Federal Laws that are in place for my consumer report. I have not received any responses or resolutions.

They are in violation and this needs to be fixed immediately!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witHXX/XX/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 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.

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!

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
About 2 months ago, I cancelled my service with XXXX and I offered to return the cell phone in person. I was told they could not accept the phone nor use it unless I paid {$590.00}. 
My original agreement with XXXX was due to their offer of a free phone for my Business account. I closed down my business account after I retired and we set up a Personal account. However, at that time- I was NOT told that I would be charged for the XXXX XXXX until months later when I inquired about why my monthly bill was so high. ( After having paid almost {$700.00} for the phone. ) I moved my cell service over to XXXX and attempted to haveXXXX  unlock the phone or allow me to return it. Neither option was acceptable to the store rep. 
So, I signed an agreement with XXXX and purchased their phone. 
Today, I received a collection letter from Transworld Systems Inc. 
I am now in the process of filling out their form in order to dispute the debt. Their account reference # for me XXXX Any help would be much appreciated.

Company: Eastern Account Systems of Connecticut, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today regarding my former account with XXXX, referenced above, which has been transferred to Eastern Account System and is currently reported on my credit report as a collection account. I am reaching out to you with the sincere hope that you might consider removing the negative information associated with this account from my credit report as a gesture of goodwill. 

During the period in question, I experienced significant financial hardship due to unforeseen circumstances that severely impacted my ability to manage my financial obligations. Additionally, I relocated, which further complicated my financial situation and contributed to the delay in addressing this account. I deeply regret that my account fell into arrears and that it was ultimately sent to collections. 

Since then, I have worked diligently to stabilize my financial situation and have been making every effort to meet all my current financial obligations promptly. My records will show that I have been consistent in maintaining my other accounts in good standing. 

Given my efforts to rectify my financial health and my sincere regret for the oversight, I am kindly requesting that XXXX consider removing the negative information related to this account from my credit report. I believe this gesture would greatly assist me in rebuilding my credit and achieving financial stability. 

Thank you for your time and understanding. I appreciate the service XXXX provides and the consideration of my request. I look forward to your positive response and am hopeful that we can resolve this matter to our mutual satisfaction. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
