Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Kovo
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
An account is being reported on my credit report that is fraudulent and inaccurate. The furnisher is reporting this account as closed/charge-off with derogatory remarks and late payments, which is incorrect.

I did not authorize or open this account. I have no valid contract with this company, and the information being reported is the result of fraud or error.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 602A, 611, and 623 ), furnishers of information and credit reporting agencies are required to ensure all information reported is accurate, verifiable, and complete. If the furnisher can not provide proper verification, including an original signed contract, full account history, and proof of authorization, the account must be deleted. 

Additionally, under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA 312 ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, unverifiable or fraudulent information must be blocked or removed. Federal fraud statutes, including 18 U.S.C. 1028 ( fraud and false identification ) and 18 U.S.C. 1341 ( fraud and false statements ), further prohibit the reporting of fraudulent accounts.

I am requesting that this account and all related derogatory remarks be permanently deleted from my credit report with all three bureaus. If the company believes this account is valid, I demand documentation proving I am the responsible party. Otherwise, it must be removed immediately.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX 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.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I'm writing to formally dispute inaccurate and misleading information being reported on my credit file related to an account that is marked as late which is factually incorrect and a violation of federal law.

Let me be absolutely clear : this account has always been paid on time and in full, as agreed. I have never missed a payment on this account. The current reporting of late payments is not only damaging but is also legally inaccurate under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which governs timely payments and proper billing practices.

This is a billing error, plain and simple. The payment was made as required, and I should not be penalized for a mistake that is not mine. The negative marks being reported are unjustified and are violating the protections provided to me as a consumer under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my consumer credit report by Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXor the following account : XXXX XXXX ( Account # : XXXX ). Specifically, Equifax is reporting the account as " Pays account as agreed '' with a " 30 days past due '' delinquency. XXXX  is reporting " Paid account/was 30 days past due '' with a " XXXX delinquent '' status. XXXX  is reporting " Paid or paying as agreed '' but does not indicate a payment status. These reports are inaccurate and need to be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' and " Paid as agreed '' for the account. These entries are inconsistent, contradictory, and inaccurate. I am requesting that the status of this account be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' or " XXXX, '' and the worst delinquency status be updated accordingly to ensure accuracy in reporting. Upon review, I have discovered that these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly Section XXXX, which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, the entries were reported without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), which mandates that consumer information can not be accessed or used without the explicit written consent of the consumer. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of your investigation, including documentation of the original written instructions from me, with my wet signature, authorizing the reporting of this information, and an explanation of the legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments as per Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA and written confirmation of the investigation 's completion, along with details of any actions taken to rectify this matter.

Lastly, I request documentation to verify compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which mandates that periodic statements must be delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date, including the periodic statement and corresponding tracking number to confirm timely delivery. I have attached proof of the inaccuracies and highlighted them in red for your convenience. I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
