Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) 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 XXXX Code XXXX 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 ( XXXX ) 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.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I paid a settlement amount to Midland Credit Management to resolve a collection account originally from XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX. At the time of payment, XXXX was actively reporting the account to all three major credit bureaus. XXXX publicly stated policy on their website says that if an account is paid or settled in full after credit reporting begins, they will request deletion of the tradeline. 

It has now been over XXXX days since that payment, and the tradeline still appears on my credit reports. I contacted XXXX to request written confirmation of the deletion, but they refused to provide anything in writing and only referred me to the policy online. This is unacceptable and appears to be a deliberate attempt to avoid accountability. 

I have : Full proof of payment from XX/XX/year> A screenshot of XXXX pay-for-delete policy from their official website Evidence that the tradeline has not been deleted despite their XXXX deletion timeline Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) XXXX ( b ), furnishers of information are required to investigate and correct or delete inaccurate or incomplete information after it is disputed. Continuing to report a paid/settled account as a collection after your own policy promises deletion may also constitute unfair or deceptive practices under the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 

If this issue is not resolved immediately, I am prepared to : Pursue legal action in small claims court for willful noncompliance with FCRA obligations File additional complaints with the FTC and my state Attorney General Provide all supporting documentation to the credit bureaus for formal dispute and legal preservation of rights This account should be immediately deleted from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX per XXXX own stated deletion policy and the rights granted to me under federal law.
