Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Erroneous Accounts on Credit Report Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding several erroneous accounts that have been reported on my credit profile without my consent or authorization. These accounts, listed below, show multiple late payments, missing payment dates, and are designated as " charge-off '' accounts. I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with the respective companies, but to date, they have failed to respond to my requests or provide the required documentation. 

Affected Accounts : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX  XXXX. XXXX I notified all the aforementioned companies on XX/XX/XXXX, via certified mail with return receipt requested, specifically requesting that they provide the following : XXXX. Copies of the original contract agreements with signatures. 
XXXX. Any assignment contracts associated with these accounts. 

The significance of these documents can not be overstated, as they are necessary to determine the validity of the accounts placed on my credit report. I informed each company that failure to respond would lead me to report this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

Each company was provided with XXXX  days to respond to my request. As of XX/XX/XXXX, none of the companies has responded to my request nor provided any documents. Attached to this letter, you will find copies of the certified letters I sent, along with the return receipts. 

I am requesting the immediate deletion of all accounts listed above from my credit records due to the violation of my consumer rights and the noncompliance with CFPB regulations regarding the accurate reporting of information. These companies have failed to provide evidence of consent, authorization, or proper documentation, which further substantiates my claim that the accounts are erroneously placed on my credit profile. 

Please take appropriate action to investigate this matter and ensure that these companies are held accountable for their failure to comply with consumer protection regulations. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely,

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent.

I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I opened a business checking account with Fifth Third Bank in XXXX XXXX, SC on XX/XX/year>. I brought all necessary documents provided by my attorney who filed my LLC and a XXXX XXXX  photo identification ( driver 's license ). This was acceptable and the account was opened and I deposited {$6500.00}. 
By Monday XX/XX/XXXX, my account was inaccessible when I tried to access their online banking. I learned by calling the bank 's general support phone number, it was placed under a hold and I could not review the account. There was no notice provided earlier and I learned of this problem by attempting to use the account. 
I visited the branch on Tuesday morning at XXXX and I was told that due to suspicion of identity theft, this account needed further verification. No one would tell me why my new account, which had no transactions or activity at this point, was under this new suspicion. I was not told why or how I was identified successfully in person at the time of opening the account the first time, but now I was no, nor what provoked the suspicion now. 
Further, I could not close the account. This intuition has now ceased my funds without warrant. When contacting the bank, which I continue to do over the phone repeatedly, their Fraud Detection Department provides no additional details to help understand how a new account with no transactions to date, is being held due to identity theft and they continue to claim XXXX businesses will be the next review. I have been treated poorly, with little communication by the Departments that have taken drastic actions against a new account and I desire to close my account and retrieve my funds. I have exhausted all forms of identity and have proven my identity several times. This Institution is unreasonably and intentionally holding my funds and preventing a closure of this account which I desire given this experience.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX 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. 


XXXX XXXX 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
