Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Notice to Agent is Notice to Principal, Notice to Principal is Notice to Agent You [ XXXX XXXXXXXX ] replied that the alleged transaction you furnished as late was { accurate/ verified } but my previous dispute did not ask you for accuracy or validation. 
I the year and months of { XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, XXXX, XXXX } you furnished to { XXXX, XXXX, } put the CRA that is reporting the late payment } an alleged transaction as Late. 
15 U.S. Code 1666b - Timing of payments ( 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.

I requested the information that must have or possess by law in order for you to furnish a payment as late.

This is being request pursuant rule 1002.

In other words, to properly report information as verified, the furnisher must have sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that the information was true, and in doing this the conditions required by 15 USC 1666b must be met.

You failed to provide the required requested information, you failed to proceed in accordance with the requires for a creditor to treat a payment as late. Please provide the certified mail tracking for these letters It has been over 30 days and you have not properly verify the information.

Id. at 1303 ; see also Blacks Law Dictionary ( 11th ed. 2019 ) ( defining verify as [ t ] o prove to be true ; to confirm or establish the truth or truthfulness of ; to authenticate ).

Importantly, a furnishers inability to conclusively determine that the disputed information is inaccurate does not mean that the furnisher is permitted to report back to the consumer reporting agency that its investigation verified the accuracy of that information. Instead, if the evidence available to the furnisher is insufficient to establish the truth or falsity of the disputed information, then, under the statutory framework, the furnisher must report that its investigation concluded that the disputed information can not be verified.

Hinkle, 827 F.3d at 1304. So, for example, if a furnisher is unable to verify that a consumer missed a payment, then it may be appropriate for the furnisher to delete any mentions of the missed payment while continuing to report other information about the account.

Delete the information you are furnishing to the Consumer Reporting Agencies as late from account : [ XXXX ] Your Name _________________________________ Without Recourse XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Early XXXX I received a credit card bill for {$1200.00}. I did make the charges. The problem is that this credit card company has a habit of not sending the billing to inform the customers of the amount owed. In other words, I did not receive a billing statement for the month of XXXX. This way they add the late fees and interest and hopefully in my case get me to make payments. For years I have paid my monthly balance in full, and they make no interest of late fees from me. How I know this is not a mistake. I called the credit card company and asked if I could have a wavier for the late fee. The agent replied no because I have already been granted a waiver within a year. I then asked the agent how the bill was sent to me, was it paper or electronically. He replied electronically. I instructed the agent that I will pay the bill in full as we speak on the phone once you receive payment close the account. He transferred me to another agent which I gave the same instructions. The new agent I asked the same question, which billing method are you using to send the bills to me. He replied paper. So, I asked how much is the pay off. He replied {$1200.00}, I paid online, and he closed the account. After stealing this company had the nerve send another bill for {$14.00} stating interest. This is how they entrap seniors.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Contacted credit reporting agencies and they all have a bankruptcy and credit card reporting on my report that does not belong to me and is not being reported by the creditor or another consumer reporting agency. Company failed to disclose how it appeared on the report and has not removed it from my report. The name does not match and no one is reporting it on the credit report. A bankruptcy is damaging to report once it has been discharged and so is a credit card that doesn't belong to the consumer that was also charged off years ago. These acts directly violate the rights to the consumer under the fair credit reporting act and once proven that the reporting agency is deliberately refusing to remove the inaccurate information. 


public record/bankruptcy must match consumer information XXXX XXXX must show credit card contract signed by consumer XXXX must show consumer agreement signed in consumers name I have never signed with either of these companies and have asked reporting agency to provide documents and they have failed to do so. These items must be deleted immediately!

Complaint narrative:
This company completed a charge-off/ collection which is debt that has been discharged and they took a tax write-on XX/XX/year>. After contacting the IRS they explained that it was illegal that that they were reporting this information to my credit report trying and still trying to collect when this transaction has a charged-off status. This is called tax fraud by the IRS. I requested that they remove this item from my credit report and send me my COMPLETED copy of the 1099-C so I can audit it to ensure you they comply. They violated the FCRA 15 USC 1681eb and they are reporting information that's not 100 % accurate. The IRS directed me to file form 3949a for illegal tax violations against the company. Then they did not credit my account from the dividend payment that they made off of my treasury coupon via the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and I would like you to do so promptly.
