Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof.

I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

I was shocked to see inaccurate accounts appear on my credit report today, and I have no clue why theyre there. I routinely check my credit report, but this time, discrepancies just appeared out of nowhere. I even refreshed my browser, hoping it was a glitch, but the errors remained. Given this issue, Im requesting a thorough review of the documents Ive sent, so I can finally put these worries behind me.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
My account with the following company 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 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. 

The following company never 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

Company: Kimball, Tirey & St. John LLP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a debt that has been reported by Kimball , Tirey & St. John LLP on behalf of a company previously known as XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. This company has since rebranded as XXXX XXXX XXXX, yet the debt is still being reported under the outdated business name. This raises concerns about the accuracy and validity of the reported debt information.

Additionally, I did not authorize Kimball , Tirey & St. John LLP to report this debt to any credit bureaus, as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to this section, consumer information can only be reported with a permissible purpose, including my explicit consent, which was not provided in this case.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1692g of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to request validation of the debt, including documentation proving the accuracy of the balance. I requested validation from Kimball , Tirey & St. John LLP but have not received adequate documentation to verify the debt or confirm my obligation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed an incorrect entry related to a bankruptcy that I did not file, or which should not appear on my report. To verify this, I contacted the court where the bankruptcy was supposedly filed and asked if they report such information to the credit bureaus. In response, the court provided me with a written statement confirming that they do not report bankruptcy information to credit reporting agencies. 

Despite this confirmation, the bankruptcy is still listed on my credit report, which has negatively impacted my credit score and overall financial situation. I have contacted the credit bureaus to dispute this entry, but the bankruptcy remains, even though it was inaccurately reported.

Complaint narrative:
This account was charged off on the following date [ XX/XX/year>, OF FIRST CHARGE-OFF STATUS ]. Since then, the account has repeatedly been updated as charge-off every month. This is an update on the payment history. A charged off account should NOT include an active payment history. This inaccurate information falsely manipulates the statute of limitations. You failed to investigate this account properly and your neglect has violated my rights. I am demanding a deletion of the following account : Experian : [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] [ XXXX ] Subject : Dispute Regarding Response on My Account and Immediate Deletion Request To whom it may concern : I am writing to express my disagreement with your response regarding my account, which continues to contain inaccuracies. Additionally, you have now altered the date the account was closed and have been marking the charge off status month by month, which is illegal according to the law. I am therefore requesting the immediate deletion of this account, as you are legally required to provide an accurate and error-free verification, and this account contains numerous inaccuracies.

I ask that you resolve this matter appropriately and in accordance with the law.
