Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option but to take legal action due to the immense XXXX this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have always maintained an impeccable payment record with the XXXX CARD SERVICES, with all my payments set up on Autopay. This reported late payment is due to a system error on their part during payment processing. 

This billing error by the company does not reflect my payment history and violates USC Code 1681eb. This mistake has severely impacted my reputation, character, lifestyle, and my family. 

I insist that the late payment listed in the MONTHS REPORTING LATE be removed immediately. 

The company is not complying with XXXX XXXX XXXX, which outlines the standards for treating a payment as late. They incorrectly reported my payment as late without following the law. 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) specifies that a creditor can not consider a payment late unless reasonable procedures ensure that the periodic statement, with required information per section 1637 ( b ), is mailed or delivered to the consumer at least 21 days before the payment due date.

The company failed to send the periodic statement and disclosures as required by section 1637 ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the due date in good faith under rule 1002, but it has never been provided. 

This situation is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and unjust to me as a consumer. 

I demand the removal of the late payments from my consumer reports.

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.
