Complaint narrative:
# 1. DEPT OF ED / XXXX Acct # XXXX # 2. DEPT OF ED / XXXX Acct # XXXX # 3. DEPT OF ED / XXXX Acct # XXXX # 4. DEPT OF ED / XXXX Acct # XXXX YOU ARE REPORTING THAT I AM 90 DAYS LATE FOR XX/XX/XXXX BUT YOU SHOW THAT I HAVE SUBMITTED ON TIME PAYMENTS FOR XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX AND XX/XX/XXXX ... .HOW CAN I HAVE BOTH 90 DAYS LATE YET THE XXXX PRECEDING MONTHS ARE PAID ON TIME??? 

I can't believe the inaccurate reporting on my credit report! According to the credit bureaus, I'm 90 days late on my XX/XX/XXXX payment, even though I paid on time in the previous months of XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. It's frustrating to see these errors, especially when they can have such a significant impact on my creditworthiness and financial future. 

It's not just me- a XXXX study by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) found that one in five consumers had an error on at least one of their credit reports. That's outrageous! These errors can lead to higher interest rates, credit denials, and even affect my job prospects.

There are several common types of errors that can occur on credit reports, including incorrect personal information, outdated account information, and inaccurate payment history. In my case, it's clear that there's an error in the payment history section of my report. 

I'm so frustrated that I have to deal with these errors. It's not fair that I have to spend my time and energy correcting someone else 's mistake. And even worse, the burden is on me to prove that I'm in the right. It shouldn't be this way!

I know I need to take action and contact the credit bureau ( s ) to get these errors corrected. But it's just frustrating that I have to go through all of this trouble because of someone else 's mistake. It's not right, and it's not fair. I just hope that in the future, credit bureaus will be more careful and accurate in their reporting so that others don't have to go through the same frustration and hassle that I am.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
