Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Kikoff Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
RE : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Account XXXX XXXX XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally dispute the late payment reporting associated with the Kikoff Lending LLC account listed on my credit report under the number XXXX This account is inaccurately reporting 30, 60, and 90-day late payments as of XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, despite the account showing a status of Paid, Closed as of XX/XX/XXXX. This inconsistency directly violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which mandates the maximum possible accuracy of information reported by consumer reporting agencies.

Inaccurate and Unverifiable Payment Reporting According to FCRA 1681i ( a ), if information is disputed and can not be verified, it must be deleted. The derogatory payment history for this account conflicts with its " Paid, Closed '' status, and no supporting evidence has been provided that confirms the payment delays were legitimate, properly billed, and not the result of clerical or system error.

Legal Basis for Immediate Removal of Late Payments FCRA 1681e ( b ) : Requires all information reported to be complete and accurate. A closed and paid account can not simultaneously report escalating late payments without proper validation and investigation.

15 U.S.C. 1666b ( Timing of Payments ) : Requires creditors to provide a reasonable time for payment and clearly communicate due dates. Failure to do so makes any reported delinquencies inaccurate.

12 CFR 1026.13 ( Billing Error Resolution ) : Asserts the right of a consumer to dispute billing inaccuracies. If these entries stemmed from a technical or misapplied fee, they should be permanently corrected. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) : Reinforces that credit bureaus must independently investigate disputes and not rely solely on the furnisher 's claims. 

Requested Actions I demand that XXXX and Kikoff Lending LLC : Immediately remove all derogatory payment remarks from this account history.

Update the record to show Paid As Agreed with no past-due history.

Provide written confirmation of the investigation, including any documentation relied upon.

If the payment history can not be verified by original signed statements or billing notices, it must be permanently deleted from my credit file per FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

Failure to Act If this matter is not resolved within 5 business days, I will escalate the dispute by filing complaints with the CFPB, FTC, and my states Attorney General, and may pursue legal remedies under FCRA 1681n & 1681o for negligent or willful noncompliance.

Please consider this letter as a final demand for correction before I begin formal legal proceedings. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I'm contacting you because I recently discovered a credit inquiry on my report that I had no knowledge of, did not authorize, and did not initiate. This inquiry is fraudulent, plain and simple, and it should have never been made under my name. 

I have never applied for credit or given any form of consent to the company that pulled this inquiry. I only found out about it while reviewing my credit report, and Im furious that someone was able to access my personal credit file without my permission. This is not just a mistake it is unauthorized access to my private financial information, and it is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report.

Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
