Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: W&A Intermediate Co., LLC
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, Missouri Laws Dear WAKEFIELD & ASSOCIATES, I am writing to address blatant violations regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), as well as identity fraud laws under Florissant, Missouri, state laws.

It has unequivocally come to my attention that WAKEFIELD & ASSOCIATES has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Furthermore, Missouri state law establishes clear guidelines for the fair reporting of consumer credit information. Simultaneously, identity fraud laws underscore the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for WAKEFIELD & ASSOCIATES to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that WAKEFIELD & ASSOCIATES immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and applicable Missouri state laws. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state laws. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that WAKEFIELD & ASSOCIATES will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Federal Student Aid XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Urgent Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Reporting To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to officially dispute the inaccurate reporting related to my credit file and to demand immediate correction of this error. The account in question is [ Account Number ] with [ Creditor Name ]. It has been erroneously marked as a charge-off ( CO ) for collection, which is not only incorrect but also a violation of my rights as a consumer under the CARES Act.

As per the provisions of the CARES Act enacted in XX/XX/XXXX, creditors are prohibited from reporting negative information for accounts impacted by XXXX, assuming previous good standing or deferred payment terms. My account was paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX and then returned by the Department of Treasure now was paid in full again on XX/XX/XXXX, and it is unacceptable that this inaccurate information has persisted in my credit report. 
Please note that I have attached relevant documentation evidencing my full payment, along with my account history, which clearly demonstrates that this account was never in default or delinquent. 
I demand that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and amend my credit report immediately to reflect the accurate status of my account. This misrepresentation is causing significant harm to my ability to obtain credit and is, therefore, urgent that this issue is resolved without delay. 
I expect a prompt response and resolution. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are required to investigate my dispute and respond to me within 30 days. Please send me a written confirmation of the actions you are taking regarding this matter, as well as an updated copy of my credit report once the corrections are made. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious issue. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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.

EQUIFAX 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 XXXX and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
