Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> i recieved a letter through the mail about an alleged debt that I don't owe. I have never done business with this company before and I verified on New York Secretary of state website and they are not registered to do business in the state of New York. They don't have legal right to contact me about anything I never gave consent for Portfolio Recovery Services to access my information at all and I didn't give any original creditor permission to release my information to a third party which is Portfolio Recovery Sevices whom has no wet signature from me acknowleding them. They are on my credit report without sending a validation letter first. I had no knowledge of this however I did a dispute with the bureau and I don't know if the company is aware of that and I don't know if they were contacted.The last I knew this was resolved as customer disagrees and that was it until today.

How about public law 73-10 Ucc 3-603 . Correct wrong information intentionally being reported willingly as collections dept is aware of and have revised payment but they havent posted payment keeping me from going anywhere else so only thing I care about is Credit report and the inaccurate information. NO LATE PAYMENT ARE PERMITTED ON CREDIT REPORT AND IF NOT FIXED ACROSS ALL DATA FURNISHING AND ALL AGENCY KNOW. OR UK NOWN AS I HAVE ASKED MANY TIMES BUT INJURY AND INACCURACY HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY ADDRESSED.

Complaint narrative:
Heres a response you can submit to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), describing the issue youre facing with Experian : Describe what happened : I submitted a formal dispute to Experian, providing proof of my current address, including my driver 's license and a recent utility bill. Despite providing clear documentation, Experian has failed to update my correct address on my credit report. Instead, they added incorrect addresses that do not belong to me. 

The incorrect addresses include : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( without my apartment number ) XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX These addresses are wrong, and the only correct address is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. I specifically requested that my credit report reflect my correct address, but instead, Experians system added more inaccurate addresses. 

This incorrect information may negatively impact my creditworthiness, and despite my previous dispute, the issue remains unresolved. I am concerned about Experians failure to maintain accurate records and their refusal to properly address this issue, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Additionally, I am aware that Experian recently settled a {$22.00} XXXX class action lawsuit for similar failures to keep consumer credit reports accurate and updated. I request immediate correction of this issue and removal of the incorrect addresses from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against [ Credit Reporting Agency Name ] 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  Account Number : XXXX Date of Late Payment : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Nature of Complaint : On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a dispute to EXPERIAN disputing a late payment reported by TDRCS/SAMSUNG 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 : 1. I made the payment as I was always making it without any problem and suddenly they report that I had a delay. They reported it to me in the three bureaus and in XXXX they verified and confirmed that it was an error and they eliminated that payment late. 
2. This account is so far up to date in payment, the entire debt was paid.

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian 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,

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX 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!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its req
uirements 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. 

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!
