Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

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

Complaint narrative:
My accounts 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 to be removed/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. 

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!

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing some late payments that have been furnished on my consumer report by XXXX XXXX with the account number # XXXX. I have tried to address this issue directly with XXXX XXXX and they replied back that the information was accurate. I requested PROOF that they have adopted reasonable procedures to ensure that each periodic statement was mailed or delivered to me 21 days prior to my payment due date. This law does not state email or electronic mail. Also include proof of all the information required by sec 1637 ( b ) of title 15 USC, and the negative information disclosure. 

Any financial institution that regularly furnishes information to a nationwide consumer reporting agency must provide a notice to a consumer in writing prior to or no later than 30 days after furnishing negative information to such an agency. The Negative Information Notice is a requirement of Section 623 ( a ) ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This rule requires financial institutions to provide consumers with a notice that negative information may be provided to a consumer reporting agency. I am demanding PROOF where XXXX XXXX sent me a notice prior to or no later than 30 days of furnishing negative items on my consumer reports. This is a clear violation of the FCRA. 

I have requested proof and allowed them 30days to show me proof, therefore this account is unverifiable and I request the deletion of this account from my consumer report.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally request your assistance in removing incorrect variations of my name from my Experian credit file. I have recently reviewed my credit report and found multiple inaccuracies regarding the reporting of my name, which I believe may negatively impact my creditworthiness. 

The following variations of my name have been identified in my Experian credit file : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  These variations are not correct representations of my identity and do not match the name I have consistently used in all legal and financial matters. I am concerned that these inaccuracies could lead to confusion and potential issues with creditors and services that rely on accurate credit reporting. 

I kindly ask that the CFPB investigate this matter and assist in ensuring that my Experian credit file reflects only accurate and verified information regarding my name. 

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

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I submitted a complaint to CFPB, a few days later my score went back up, then I received a letter from transunion again and then my score dropped down almost XXXX points. I don't understand what the issue is. The letter again states that they are verifying that the account is mine which I have never disputed. What is it about the words I am using that makes this hard to comprehend? I have ONE missing payment that was forgiven by the lender yet Transunion is hellbent on dragging my name through the mud for what appears to be a personal vendetta! Can you please do something to get this company out of my day to day life. I pay a subscription monthly to make sure thieves are not accessing my data illegally but the thieves are the people working at the company themselves. I will now be forwarding this to the news and attorney general because this is beyond ridiculous!
