Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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.

EXPERIAN 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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am currently facing an issue with multiple debt collection companies that are reporting on my credit report, which I believe is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Specifically, I have no contracts or agreements with this company. This company has not provided any documentation containing my signature that authorizes them to report on my credit or engage in business with me. The following are the specific FDCPA laws that I believe these debt collection companies have violated : 809 Validation of Debts ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) : Debt collectors are required to provide verification of the debt within five days of the initial communication. They must send a written notice containing the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor, and a statement that unless the consumer disputes the debt within 30 days, it will be assumed valid. In this case, the above-mentioned debt collection companies have not provided such validation or verification of the debt. 807 False or Misleading Representations ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ) : Debt collectors are prohibited from using any false, deceptive, or misleading representation in connection with the collection of any debt. Reporting to credit bureaus without a legitimate basis and without proper documentation or contract constitutes a misleading representation of the debt 's validity. 808 Unfair Practices ( 15 U.S.C. 1692f ) : Debt collectors may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt. Reporting a debt to credit bureaus without having the proper contractual authority or verification is considered an unfair practice. 818 Furnishing Certain Deceptive Forms ( 15 U.S.C. 1692j ) : It is illegal for debt collectors to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that it would be used to create a false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes. Given the lack of documentation and absence of a contractual agreement, the actions of this company is in violation of the aforementioned provisions of the FDCPA.
