Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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 XXXX  days before the payment due date.

XXXX XXXX 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 XXXX  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

Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
Date opened : XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> Balance : {$31000.00} To Whom It May Concern, Im reaching out regarding the above-referenced debt thats been reported on my credit report. I want to clarify that Im disputing this debt, as I believe there may be some discrepancies.

According to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ), I understand that youre required to provide proper validation of this debt. This should include the name of the creditor, the amount owed, and any details that would help me accurately identify the debt.

Additionally, Im aware that under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), Im entitled to dispute this debt within 30 days of receiving a validation notice. Unfortunately, I didnt have the opportunity to do so, and I feel that placing this collection on my credit report may not be in line with my rights as a consumer.

Furthermore, Im concerned that your actions might violate 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ), which prohibits debt collectors from using false, deceptive, or misleading practices when collecting a debt.

Given these circumstances, I kindly request that you remove this account from my credit report and pause any collection activities until you can provide the necessary validation and ensure everything is in compliance with the relevant laws. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your response. 

Thank you for your understanding. 

Note : I also want to mention that in Arizona, the statute of limitations for written contracts, including most debts, is 6 years under Arizona Revised Statutes A.R.S. XXXX.
