The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute multiple unauthorized accounts and inquiries that appear on my credit report. I have sent each bureau everything attached to this claim prior to escalating to this step and have received stall tactics saying my identity cant be verified, or an inaccurate item coming back as verified in less than 24 hours which shows first a real person did not investigate but instead an EOSCAR SYSTEM. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), I am entitled to dispute any information that I believe to be inaccurate or incomplete.

I have identified accounts and inquiries listed on my credit report that I did not authorize or provide written consent for. This is a total breach of privacy and trust when it comes to consumer reporting.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint concerning several inaccurate late payment entries that are being reported across all three major credit bureausXXXX XXXX  and Equifaxwith the exception of one tradeline which Equifax has already resolved. Specifically, the tradelines in dispute involve the following accounts : XXXX XXXX  account ending in XXXX, reported with a late payment dated XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX, with a reported late payment dated XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXXXXXX account ending in XXXX, with a reported late payment dated XX/XX/XXXX ; and XXXX account ending in XXXX, with a reported late payment dated XX/XX/XXXX. These accounts are all currently reporting a past due amount of {$0.00}, which suggests that there are no outstanding balances and that the accounts are either closed in good standing or have since been brought current. 

Despite this, the continued reporting of late payment marks on these tradelines is inaccurate, misleading, and unfairly damaging my credit profile. It misrepresents the current state of these accounts and implies a level of delinquency that does not reflect my payment history or present financial condition. Notably, Equifax has already updated the XXXX tradeline to reflect a positive status, as they were unable to verify the late payment and therefore removed the derogatory mark. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX continue to report that same late payment without having provided any documented verification or evidence in support of it, which raises further concern over the legitimacy of their reporting processes.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information they report. When a credit reporting agency can not verify a disputed account or delinquency with proper supporting documentation from the data furnisher, it must remove or correct that information in a timely manner, as stated under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). Furthermore, the continued presence of these outdated or unverifiable late payment marks is materially damaging my credit score, which affects my ability to access favorable terms for credit, housing, or financial services.
