Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries that have been reported to the credit bureaus on my account. believe this information is inaccurate and does not comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other consumer protection laws, specifically FCRA Section 602 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) and Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), as well as 15 U.S.C. 1666b.

Under FCRA Section 602, credit reporting must adhere to a high standard of accuracy and fairness, ensuring that only accurate and fully verified information appears on consumer reports. Inaccurate reporting of late payments damages my creditworthiness and causes unjust harm. By reporting late payments without clear, accurate verification, [ Creditors Name ] is in violation of this standard. 



Additionally, according to FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), only permissible purposes justify the furnishing of consumer report information. The inclusion of unverified, erroneous late payments on my report constitutes a misuse of the reporting system and suggests the failure to uphold permissible purpose standards. 



Furthermore, I request that you review 15 U.S.C. 1666b, which provides guidance on the timely posting of payments. It is my contention that these late payment entries may reflect a failure on [ Creditors Name ] s part to accurately process payments in a timely manner, per the requirements of this statute. 



In light of the above, I request the immediate removal of any inaccurate late payment notations on my credit report. Please respond to this dispute by providing documentation verifying the accuracy of this information or proceed with the correction and update of my account. 



Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this dispute letter and provide a resolution timeline. I look forward to your cooperation in correcting my credit report to ensure its accuracy. 



Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items.

I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified. 
15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not readd or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
