Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Action Required : Cease Unauthorized Credit Reporting - XXXX XXXX FCRA Identity Theft Fraud Laws Dear WELLS FARGO CARD SER, I am writing to address a serious violation concerning the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX, in conjunction with XXXX XXXX FCRA identity theft fraud laws, particularly XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX .

It has come to my attention that WELLS FARGO CARD SER has reported information to my credit profile without obtaining my explicit consent, a clear infringement upon my rights as outlined in federal law. The FCRA unequivocally requires consumer consent for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

Furthermore, XXXX XXXX state law, notably Section XXXX of the XXXX XXXX Finance Code, emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting, while Section XXXX establishes specific guidelines for fair reporting practices. Additionally, XXXX XXXX identity fraud laws, such as XXXX XXXX Penal Code Section XXXX, highlight the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal data. 

I want to make it explicitly clear that I have not granted consent for WELLS FARGO CARD SER to report any information to my credit profile. This lack of explicit authorization constitutes a serious violation of my rights and could potentially harm my creditworthiness. 

I demand immediate cessation of any further reporting of information to my credit profile without obtaining my explicit consent, as required by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Sections 392.301 and 392.305 of the XXXX XXXX Finance Code, as well as XXXX XXXX FCRA identity theft fraud laws. Failure to comply within XXXX  days will be considered willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws. 

Obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these statutes. This is not negotiable ; it is a demand for compliance with federal and state regulations aimed at protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized credit reporting.

I expect prompt attention to this matter and swift rectification of these violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
