Complaint narrative:
I have requested Experian to delete the address XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX from my credit file and they refused too. They are telling me the address is connected to XXXX which is my student loans and it is not. I have attached a copy of what address is listed under my account from the website when I logged into my account. They also telling me that XXXX has not sent an update to them for over a year. How can Experian tell me what address is connected to my account when its my account and not theirs? Again I have attached proof and I want that address removed immediately for fear of identity theft. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) is to protect consumers from inaccurate credit reporting. The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) to use reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of consumer reports and Experian is not. Please remove that address from my file immediately. I have attached proof that address is not connected to my XXXX XXXX loans.

Complaint narrative:
My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 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 that are reported 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.

( CREDITOR NAME ) 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
