Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, a formal Debt Validation Letter was sent to Midland Credit Management pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). The letter requested full validation of the alleged debt, including but not limited to : a copy of the original signed contract, a complete itemized breakdown of the amount claimed, documentation proving legal assignment of the debt, and verification of Midlands authorization to collect and report this debt.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), a debt collector must cease collection and respond with full validation before resuming collection efforts or continuing to report the debt to the consumer reporting agencies.

USPS return receipt confirms the letter was delivered on XX/XX/year>, and signed for by XXXX XXXX. As of XX/XX/year>, no response has been received. XXXX continues to report the account to the credit bureaus in violation of 1692g ( b ) and FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ), which requires data furnishers to ensure accuracy and investigate disputed information in a timely manner.

This ongoing inaction is not only non-compliantit is willfully negligent, and further reporting or collection activity without proper validation is a clear violation of federal law. I am attaching a copy of the XXXX and the XXXX return receipt for documentation.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX SERVICES - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FINANCE - XXXX Im writing to formally dispute multiple late payments reported on my credit file, which are inaccurate due to a situation involving unauthorized access to my personal accounts. For the past year or 2, I experienced a pattern of unexpected missed payments across several of my credit accounts. At the time, I was in a relationship where the person I was dating had access to my personal laptop and logins. Following the end of that relationship, I discovered that several of my accounts had been tampered with including the disabling of autopay settings, the removal of saved payment methods, and changes to my email and notification settings. This individual later admitted over the phone that they accessed my accounts out of spite and interfered with my financial information, which I did not notice immediately. These actions directly led to multiple missed or late payments on accounts that were previously in good standing. 
Since uncovering this, I have : Secured all of my financial accounts. 
Taken steps to ensure this situation will not happen again Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am exercising my right to dispute these inaccurate negative marks. Specifically : 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 requires furnishers to report accurate information and correct any errors upon notice 15 U.S. Code 1681i requires credit reporting agencies to investigate disputed items and remove any unverifiable or inaccurate information within 30 days Because these late payments were the result of unauthorized interference not willful nonpayment or neglect I am requesting that they be removed from my credit report. If the furnishers can not verify with documentation that I personally made the changes that led to these missed payments, I ask that the items be deleted in accordance with federal law. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Please notify me of the outcome of your investigation.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be updated.

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 EXPERIAN TRANSUNION 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!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports
