Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Yes I am disputing and complaining on a current company who continues to try and attempt to put a debt collection on my credit report when it has been removed multiple multiple times and this time of choosing another name as well as its own all my credit report which it was removed. So I don't understand why it's still being trying to charge when that's illegal. Once it's removed it should be permanently removed and it can't be reput back on my credit report in its name or any other name on any of three bureaus. While I find out that they are continually doing this every few months they try to put it back on there and I tried to dispute with XXXX and XXXX. It told me that they disputed and the information is correct so I can not dispute it no longer but it's already been deleted once from them and then re put back on there here recently. XXXX or XXXX just removed it again and deleted it from theirs so XXXX should be doing the same, especially since it's already been deleted before and once it's deleted. It's a permanent thing. They can not keep trying to put it on my credit but they do. The company is XXXX XXXX. I'm getting to the point to where they are ruining my credit and I'm going to file a lawsuit or something. Or if you guys could give me any information on what I could do as far as legally or through a mediator or arbitration to them for this because they're illegally continually re-reporting stuff on my credit that was permanently deleted multiple times!! 
Also XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXg or whatever that was on my credit report for {$890.00} has also been deleted and should been permanently deleted and not been able to reappear on my credit and it has reappeared on my credit and all three credit bureaus should delete it, not just one and the other one allow it and then delete it and then let it come back it. It should once it's deleted it should be permanent permanently deleted and deleted off all three and not allowed to reappear so that's another one that's also doing the same thing

Subject : Second Request for Credit Information Correction - Non-Compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b and Other FCRA Provisions I am writing to follow up on my previous letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, in which I requested the correction of inaccurate information on my credit report regarding incorrectly reported late payments on myXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - This is paid as agreed and should not be reporting negatively on my report.To date, I have not received confirmation of the correction nor observed any changes in my credit report. 



As stated in my previous correspondence, according to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements, including all information required by section 1637 ( b ), at least 21 days before the payment due date. This requirement ensures that consumers have sufficient time to receive, review, and make necessary payments without being unfairly penalized for late payments. 



Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files.

Moreover, I would like to refer to the Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ), which establishes that creditors must ensure timely delivery of statements to avoid unfair penalties to consumers.

Furthermore, under the FCRA, articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) outline the civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, respectively. These provisions provide for damages, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages, for failure to comply with the Act 's requirements.

The non-compliance with these regulations has resulted in the appearance of late payments on my credit report, which has adversely affected my credit score. This situation is a violation of my rights under the FCRA.

I formally request a reinvestigation of my dispute and correction of any inaccurate information related to these late payments on my credit report. Below are the details of the affected payments : Date of reported late payment : XXXX XXXX / XX/XX/XXXX / XX/XX/XXXX 2019
