Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: W&A Intermediate Co., LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Heres the revised version incorporating the new information : I am writing to formally request assistance in resolving an issue regarding a collections account erroneously placed on my credit report by Wakefield & Associates. The account in question pertains to a debt allegedly owed to The XXXX XXXX XXXX, initiated by Choice Recovery and subsequently placed by Wakefield & Associates on XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$950.00}. 

To provide context, The XXXX XXXX XXXX initially engaged Choice Recovery for collection efforts on XX/XX/XXXX, regarding an instrument return. Following disputes with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, the debt was resolved, and I was issued a zero balance receipt in XXXX. As a result, the collection account was removed from my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Despite this resolution, Wakefield & Associates reported a similar debt in XXXX, requesting documentation I had already provided during the initial disputes in XXXX. Moreover, The XXXX XXXX XXXX generated and provided an invoice to Wakefield & Associates in XXXX XXXX after the collection account was placed on my credit report in XXXX. This invoice was never shared with me prior, and I was not notified of any additional fees or balances owed after receiving the zero balance receipt in XXXX. 

Per the attached evidence, the sudden re-reporting of this alleged debt and the creation of a new invoice years later raise serious concerns about the accuracy and legitimacy of this claim. It is unreasonable for Wakefield & Associates to request re-submission of information I provided years ago to resolve this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to inform you that my identity may have been compromised, and I believe it is linked to an incident that occurred several years ago at the airport in XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I lost my purse and luggage at the airport. My purse contained my driver 's license, social security card, and several credit cards. Despite my efforts to locate the purse, it was never recovered. Since then, I have noticed suspicious activity on my credit report, including unauthorized accounts and inquiries. I am concerned that my personal information may have been stolen and used to commit identity theft. 

I am taking steps to protect my identity, such making this complaint and placing fraud alerts with the credit bureaus. I am continuing to monitor my own accounts and credit reports for any signs of fraudulent activity. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 XXXX  days before the payment due date.

EXPERIAN Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX 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
