Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I am formally disputing the information listed on my credit report. In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681b and 15 U.S.C. 1681c, I did not authorize the reporting or release of my personal information to the companies listed below. This is a violation of my consumer rights to privacy, as they have no legal basis to report anything under my name. Furthermore, there are unauthorized inquiries on my credit report that I did not initiate, which constitutes a case of identity theft. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 8, I do not own any debt to these entities, and I demand the immediate deletion of the items and inquiries in question to correct my credit report. 

Please address this matter promptly and confirm the removal of the disputed entities.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 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 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. 

XXXXXXXX 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

It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized.

Complaint narrative:
This is getting more and more ridiculous. I had been contacting XXXX that they mistakenly mixed up my name with another person I never know, and I had never been to the state this person lives in. XXXX never taken action to differentiate my information apart from the other person 's, instead, they are keep providing credit record of the other person to debt companies under with my name and my real address. Now a company called Fair Collections & Outsourcing is telling me that I still have a debt to pay, which is apparently not mine because I had never been to the state where the apartment they mentioned in the letter is located. Additionally, they use the name of the other person I mentioned above and still with my own mailing address, and this is how I can tell that XXXX is still providing wrong information to these credit inquiries.
