Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

Company: Metro Collection Service Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Through CFPB Metro Collections has threatened me with litigation. 
I spoke with a law firm and they said no lawsuit is or has been filed in any court. 

I am awaiting response from an attorney this week, but Metro has not provided me with a response to suggest this debt is legit.

This is phantom debt.

I am not liable.

Metro has no contract with me.

Metro is listed also as the original creditor. 

I have many times contacted Metro with no response on the debt. 
It has not been validated and by their own admission litigation has not begun and no judgement has been made against me.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX SSN : XXXX XXXX : XXXX Phone Number : XXXX XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX Subject : Second Written Request for Removal of Unverified Accounts Dear Experian, This letter serves as my second written request for the removal of unverified accounts listed on my credit report in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681. Despite my initial request, the following accounts remain on my report without proper verification : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX - Balance : {$46000.00} - Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX - Balance : {$320.00} - Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX - XXXX : {$130.00} - Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX - Balance : {$0.00} - Opened : XX/XX/XXXX According to your previous correspondence, you stated that these accounts were " verified. '' I request detailed documentation proving the verification process, including : - The documents used for verification. 
- The name, business address, and phone number of the individual who verified these accounts. 
- A sworn affidavit or deposition confirming the truthfulness and accuracy of the verification. 

As defined by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, " Verify '' means " to prove to be true ; to confirm or establish the truth or truthfulness of ; to authenticate. '' This requires the production of documents in your files proving these accounts belong to me and that the reported information is accurate. Furthermore, someone within your company must have firsthand knowledge of these accounts and authenticate them under oath. 

Federal case law mandates that Consumer Reporting Agencies must ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report, which involves more than merely parroting information from other sources. A reinvestigation that shifts the burden back to the consumer and credit grantor does not meet the obligations imposed by 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ).

Since you have failed to provide the requested documents, it indicates you either did not or can not verify these accounts. According to Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA, you must " promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. '' If you do not comply, I will pursue litigation for negligent noncompliance under Section 617 of the FCRA. I demand immediate verification or deletion of the accounts listed above. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and 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 reported in XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> ) 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. 


XXXX XXXX XXXXNever 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
