I have a right to Privacy as a Federally Protected Consumer and You must RESPECT my rights to PRIVACY and You're clearly violating those FEDERALLY PROTECTED RIGHTS, and I can provide evidence/where in the laws/acts you're violating. Under 12 CFR 1016 PRIVACY OF CONSUMER FINANCIAL INFORMATION, I am opting out of any Inquires being furnished on my consumer report. Also, 15 USC 1681b states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I did not give written consent to furnish any Inquires on my consumer report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681a-4, " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy ''. Also 16 CFR 313 - Privacy of Consumer Financial Information and Privacy Act of 1974 are being violated. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states " It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information ''. 15 USC 1681e states '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX 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!

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. 


EQUIFAX 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 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!

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/year> Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Was Submitted On Time : My payment for XX/XX/year> was submitted before the due date, as indicated by my bank statements and payment confirmations, which show that the payment was processed well in advance of the due date. There is no valid reason for this payment to be recorded as late. 
System Error at XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX experienced a system error during the payment processing period, which delayed the application of my payment. This error was acknowledged by their customer service team, and I have attached email correspondence from XXXX XXXX confirming this issue. 
Inconsistent Reporting Across Credit Bureaus : The late payment was reported by all three bureaus, but the dates and details vary across the reports, creating inconsistencies. This suggests that an error occurred in transmitting the payment information, as my payment history should be uniform and accurate across all credit bureaus. I have attached copies of the discrepancies in my credit reports for reference. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Complaint narrative:
CFPB Complaint Against Experian Filing Date : XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> Subject : Failure to Conduct a Manual Review of Dispute as Requested Use of E-Oscar System Summary of Issue : On XX/XX/year>, I filed a dispute with Experian regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I explicitly requested a manual review of the disputed information due to the complexity of the inaccuracies and submitted highlighted copies of my credit report with the incorrect information clearly marked. However, XXXX processed my dispute through the E-Oscar system rather than conducting the manual review I requested, which violates my right to a proper investigation. The response I received from Experian was unsatisfactory, vague, and did not address the specific questions I raised. 
Experian Response : Experian used the E-Oscar system to electronically send a notification of my dispute, including a summary of relevant information, to the furnisher of the disputed information. In their response, Experian stated : THE FURNISHER REVIEWS THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, CONDUCTS AN INVESTIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THE DISPUTED INFORMATION, AND REPORTS THE RESULTS BACK TO US ELECTRONICALLY ... Experian MAY USE A BUSINESS VENDOR TO OBTAIN THE MOST RECENT FILING FROM THE PUBLIC RECORD SOURCE. 
This response failed to address my specific request for a manual review, and Experian provided a generic response about their standard procedures rather than directly answering the questions I posed.
