Complaint narrative:
While looking over my consumer report I noticed late payment reporting. According to the law, I am a consumer, and it is against the law for late payments to be shared on my consumer report.

15USC 1681 ( 2 ) ( i ) states exclusion a credit report does not include report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; 15 USC 1666B : A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for purpose.

1026.13 also states that a reflection on or with a periodic statement of a extension of a credit is not made to the consumer or to the who has actual implied or apparent authority to use the consumers credit card or open ended credit plan.

15 USC 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

I am requesting and putting you on notice to please REMOVE ALL LATE PAYMENTS off my credit report this request is not made by anyone but myself or I will seek legal action against you I have already let you know of 4 violations and know a lot more I can add and will be requesting {$1000.00} per violation if this matter isnt handled.

Product: Debt collection — Private student loan debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: SIMM Associates, Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I co-signed for two loans with XXXX XXXX for my son back in XXXX and XXXX which he has been paying but lately the restaurant business hasnt been doing well and he got a little behind. XXXX sent me a statement showing that he was past due. 
About that same time I received two letters from a debt collector called SIMM Associates , Inc. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, DE XXXX saying they were trying to collect a debt. Only thing is they got the account numbers wrong and the amount was a little different then what XXXX showed. 
My son made a payment to XXXX and got caught up with his payments. I then called XXXX to make sure everything was caught up and they said yes. I then asked them about SIMM debt collections and they said that they had no clue what I was talking about and that they did not send it to collections. They said it was probably a scam or phishing for more information and advised me not to contact them. 
As much as I wanted to contact SIMM I did not and instead would like to file a complaint against SIMM if XXXX is right about not sending it to a collection company.
