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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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.

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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: PLANET HOME LENDING, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Planet Home Lending approved my first forbearance in XX/XX/year>, with payments beginning in XX/XX/year>. I made on-time payments from XXXX through XXXX, which were properly reported to the credit bureaus. However, on XX/XX/year>, the bank reported my XXXX payment as late, despite their billing statement clearly indicating that I was in forbearance and that the payment was due by XX/XX/XXXX. They did the same on XX/XX/year>. Although I was approved for a second forbearance from XXXX to XX/XX/year>, and made on-time payments during that period, they reported my XXXX payment as late, even though the billing statement indicated that I was still in forbearance and that the payment wasn't due until the XXXX. 

In both XXXX and XXXX, they reported my payments as late without giving me a chance to make a payment. Whenever I call Planet Home Lending to explain the situation, I feel like I'm speaking to a wall, and I can't get any resolution. These incorrect late payment reports have caused significant hardship for me. 

The billing statements are legal and binding documents. Both the XXXX and XXXX statements clearly indicate that I was in forbearance, with payments due on the XXXX of each month. However, despite this, late payments were reported on the XXXX of each respective month.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute alleged late payments reported on my account.This late payment was reported by XXXX XXXX Bank to credit reporting agencies Experian, XXXX and XXXX. I believe these entries are inaccurate as the payment dates and transactions have errors.I do not believe the creditor has followed legal requirements to report such under the Fair Credit Reporting ACT and related laws. 
Legal Basis for Dispute : Under 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ), the term consumer report does not include reports that solely contain information regarding transactions or experiences between a consumer and the person making the report.As such, any transaction between myself and XXXX XXXX regarding this account should not be included in my consumer credit report. 
Under 15 USC Code 1681a ( 2 ) A ( ii ), 1666b and 1637b, the information reported to the credit bureau is invalid, and there is no basis for it to remain on my credit report. 

Request For Action : If XXXX XXXX can not provide necessary proof of mailing the required information, I request that these late payments be deleted from my credit report.Failure to do so will be considered a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, which prohibits the reporting of inaccurate late payment entry from my credit report within 10 calendar days of receiving this notice. 
Late Payment ( XXXX ) in Question XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/year>. 

Thank you for your prompt action to this matter. I look forward to your response and justification that these illegal and inaccurate late payments have been removed.
