Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate information on my Equifax credit report, which is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 15 USC 1681A ( 2 ) and 15 USC 1681i. These sections of the FCRA protect consumers ' rights to accurate credit reporting and impose obligations on credit reporting agencies to ensure the precision of the information they report.

According to Section 15 USC 1681A ( 2 ) of the FCRA, it is incumbent upon credit reporting agencies to maintain accurate consumer credit information. Furthermore, Section 15 USC 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed information and promptly correct any inaccuracies. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several inaccuracies regarding reported late payments. These inaccuracies not only misrepresent my credit history but also violate my rights as a consumer under the FCRA. 

In addition, in accordance with the FCRA these creditors have violated my rights under 15 USC 1681 section 602 states that I have the right to privacy. It also states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions under 15 USC 1666b a creditor may NOT treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. 
The following late payments are erroneously listed on my credit report : [ XXXX and XXXX  XXXX ] - [ XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX  XXXX ] - [ XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX ] - [ XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ] I assert that these late payments are inaccurate and unjustified. It is illegal to report any late payments to my consumer report! 

In accordance with Section 15 USC 1681i, transactions should not be included on a consumer report, and I hereby request that you conduct a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies. I expect that you will promptly remove the erroneous late payments from my credit report and provide me with a corrected copy, free of charge. 

Failure to comply with these provisions will leave me with no choice but to pursue further remedies available under the FCRA, including legal action. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this dispute letter and provide information on the steps you are taking to address my concerns. I can be reached at the contact information provided above. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

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 me 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. 


XXXX XXXX XXXX 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
