Almost a year it took for them to even tell me there was something I missed, then when they did advise me, they did it by marking up my credit report with false information, because if I knew I owed or missed anything I would have paid it, but they didn't tell me and then maxed out the \" past due '' days.

As a consumer, I believe my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act have been violated, as outlined in 15 USC 1681 section 6 subsections 2 and 4 ( a ) ( 2 ). I request an immediate correction of this issue to prevent further damage to my creditworthiness. \n\nIn recent communications with XXXX, they have acknowledged that they were at fault for the negative impact on my credit. They admitted that I was up-to-date on all my payments, with no late remarks or outstanding balance. I have attached the relevant statements as evidence to support my claim. However, despite their admission, my credit report still reflects a significant negative impact, resulting in a decrease of my credit score by XXXX points. This inaccurate reporting has severely affected my ability to secure financing, specifically for purchasing a home. \n\nThe discrepancy in XXXX 's reporting began on XX/XX/XXXX, when I received an email notification stating that my account was overdue by XXXX  days, with an alleged amount of {$670.00} owed. This sudden change in status is perplexing, as none of the monthly statements provided by XXXX prior to that date indicated any pending dues or late payments. I promptly contacted XXXX and presented them with my bank statements, which clearly showed that I had not missed any payments. Their response was that I had not paid them enough money back in XX/XX/XXXX, which they neglected to inform me about until almost a year later. Furthermore, instead of rectifying the situation in a transparent manner, XXXX marked up my credit report with false information, erroneously stating that I was over XXXX  days past due. As a result, I was charged interest and forced to pay over {$900.00} to correct their mistake. Despite their assurance that they would rectify the error, my credit score has yet to reflect the necessary corrections, severely hampering my chances of obtaining a mortgage. \n\nI emphasize that this misinformation has had a significant impact on my daily life and financial well-being. While XXXX stated they would remove those \" Past Due '' remarks, they have yet to do so. The only resolution I received from the company from a credited amount of {$300.00}. Which in no way fixes the amount of time I took to write all of these complaints to get this corrected. Or the stress of life under a ( negative XXXX point drop in my credit ) XXXX alone took me from the XXXX range to the XXXX range. And I didn't even make the mistake, XXXX did. I am trying to purchase a home and have been for years, there 100+ days past due is not accurate and is ruining my future. This needs a resolution. \n\nIf the necessary corrections are not made to my credit report promptly, I will be left with no choice but to seek legal representation to protect my rights. \n\nI kindly request that you take immediate action to investigate this matter thoroughly and correct the inaccuracies on my credit report. I believe it is in the best interest of both parties involved to resolve this issue amicably and avoid any potential legal proceedings. \n\nThank you.

Almost a year it took for them to even tell me there was something I missed, then when they did advise me, they did it by marking up my credit report with false information, because if I knew I owed or missed anything I would have paid it, but they didn't tell me and then maxed out the \" past due '' days. They then charged me interest and I paid over {$900.00} to correct their mistake, and although they stated they would fix this mistake, my credit score still has not seen that, therefore damaging my changes to purchase a home. \n\nThis is now affecting my day to day life and I will bring in legal council if this is not corrected on my credit report. \n\nSubject : Dispute and Correction of Credit Report Information Dear Sir/Madam , I am writing to inform you about a serious error in my credit report, specifically regarding my account with Upgrade. As a consumer, I believe my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act have been violated, as outlined in 15 USC 1681 section 6 subsections 2 and 4 ( a ) ( 2 ). I request an immediate correction of this issue to prevent further damage to my creditworthiness. \n\nIn recent communications with XXXX, they have acknowledged that they were at fault for the negative impact on my credit. They admitted that I was up-to-date on all my payments, with no late remarks or outstanding balance. I have attached the relevant statements as evidence to support my claim. However, despite their admission, my credit report still reflects a significant negative impact, resulting in a decrease of my credit score by XXXX points. This inaccurate reporting has severely affected my ability to secure financing, specifically for purchasing a home. \n\nThe discrepancy in XXXX 's reporting began on XX/XX/XXXX, when I received an email notification stating that my account was overdue by 105 days, with an alleged amount of {$670.00} owed. This sudden change in status is perplexing, as none of the monthly statements provided by XXXX prior to that date indicated any pending dues or late payments. I promptly contacted XXXX and presented them with my bank statements, which clearly showed that I had not missed any payments. Their response was that I had not paid them enough money back in XX/XX/XXXX, which they neglected to inform me about until almost a year later. Furthermore, instead of rectifying the situation in a transparent manner, XXXX marked up my credit report with false information, erroneously stating that I was over 120 days past due. As a result, I was charged interest and forced to pay over {$900.00} to correct their mistake. Despite their assurance that they would rectify the error, my credit score has yet to reflect the necessary corrections, severely hampering my chances of obtaining a mortgage. \n\nI emphasize that this misinformation has had a significant impact on my daily life and financial well-being. While XXXX stated they would remove those \" Past Due '' remarks, they have yet to do so. The only resolution I received from the company from a credited amount of {$300.00}. Which in no way fixes the amount of time I took to write all of these complaints to get this corrected. Or the stress of life under a ( negative XXXX point drop in my credit ) XXXX alone took me from the 700 range to the 500 range. And I didn't even make the mistake, XXXX did.

I was a caregiver for a XXXX XXXX  who had XXXX XXXX and XXXX. I found a bill where XXXX XXXX XXXX had an in my name for XXXX XXXX cable services. as I explained to XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX was no longer able to maintain an account and have the account in my name. I needed this account closed. The final bill was sent to me and I assumed that would be the close date of the bill. I saw there was {$50.00} deposit on the account. This amount would More than cover the final bill after disconnection. \n\nI spoke to XXXX & returned the modem to XXXX XXXX as XXXX is the name of the gentleman in question. I was assured by a XXXX representative the final bill would be paid in full by the deposit of {$50.00}. The actual last bill was less than {$50.00} according to the billing statement for that month. The bill was somewhere between {$40.00} and {$45.00} to the best of my recollection. \n\nXXXX XXXX vacated his residence shortly afterward. I assumed everything was resolved. I even called XXXX XXXX to explain to them what happened and that I returned the modem to the local office. A few months later, I became aware of that there was still a balanced due in my name when everything was supposed to have already been resolved. I asked why. XXXX Then told me they never disconnect an account that is past due only XXXX  days. The representative at XXXX XXXX told me they wait XXXX  days or more before disconnecting service. But that's not what the letter and XXXX stated! \n\nThat's not what the bill stated that I saw and responded to. I was assured the deposit would cover the final bill as long as I returned the modem in good condition. I did that. \n\nin my opinion XXXX XXXX and their representatives are unscrupulous. I don't know how or why they could have charged {$300.00} to XXXX  XXXX When the deposit took care of the final months bill and there was no services used after that time because there was no modem. I returned it. And yet they said they kept billing for services. XXXX evidently charged for extra months never used and didn't debit the deposit properly. They also charged huge punitive late charges evidently. They also may have charged for the modem which they received at their local office. But some of this I was not aware of until much later. XXXX XXXX had moved away and I assumed everything had been finally resolved. I'm letting you know all this information that I found out afterward. I did call them to complain about the whole situation and tell them what had happened, but evidently nothing was resolved on their end. They evidently billed me through XXXX XXXX 's address, where no one was receiving mail. They turned it over to one collection agency and then another. At one point I saw two collection agencies trying to collect the same bill on the same credit bureau. I believe this was on Equifax and possibly on experian as well at the same time. I currently have not seen the second collection agency on either report, other than the Harris and Harris LTD collection agency that is still on both reports.\n\nThis situation is doubly egregious. \nIn the first place, the debt wasn't even mine. The service was being used by XXXX XXXX XXXX at his address. And secondly, when I became aware of This account, I thought it was paid for and resolved. I was assured it would be taken care of. But it wasn't. The error was multiplied and charge to me illegally and unlawfully. This is fraud! This is fraud by XXXX XXXX and fraud by extension via Harris and Harris LTD. I explained all of this to Harris and also to XXXX. Neither of them did anything except expecting me to come up with various documentation and file criminal charges against XXXX XXXX who is now either deceased or in a XXXX home. His mind was so far gone by XXXX, that he hardly knew me or recognized me XXXX  months later When I briefly saw him near the XXXX  XXXX in XXXX, Florida. \n\nI also submitted this information to and through a third party to XXXX. XXXX  promptly removed this fraudulent and incorrect delinquent That had numerous errors, as well as showing two separate collection agencies, both attempting to collect the same debt at the same time. \n\nThis was removed from XXXX  successfully in XXXX of XXXX. However, it was not removed by XXXX  nor by XXXX. I had conversations with both of these companies and also attempted to have this incorrect derogatory information removed electronically by a third party. I also disputed this information a second time with XXXX. I manually disputed the XXXX  delinquent account and it was disputed by a third party service as well. I even tried the service a second time with no results. in XXXX of XXXX I disputed this information again with XXXX  but it has failed for the fourth time. \n\nOn this final attempt, the XXXX  representative seemed very pleasant and helpful, but it is obvious to me that disputes are not looked into fairly or thoroughly. I explained that XXXX XXXX XXXX is likely in a XXXX home now, or has since deceased. I have no contact with him and do not have any idea where he is other than he may still reside in XXXX, Florida, If he is still alive. \n\nI have attempted to resolve this issue myself. But it is obvious that these credit bureaus are unscrupulous and do not care about accuracy of the report nor do they care about the consumer. Ultimately, they do whatever they think they need to do as programmed by some algorithm or programmed response. They don't check into the validity of real complaints or real issues that should be addressed. This one derogatory complaint is the only one I have on my XXXX  and XXXX. It may be lodged in some other sub reports that feed information to the big three bureaus. I've been more than patient. I've been working on this for almost XXXX  years. I've only gotten this false information removed from XXXX. When I checked XXXX  today I did not see it but it's still there on some reports. It disappears and then comes back. It seems to be permanently embedded into XXXX. I've challenged it XXXX times in total. They keep coming back with a statement saying the account information has been validated. All the system is doing is validating that I'm the same person who they have on the account originally. I explained what happened. I explained how it happened. I explained that it was taken care of. This is all bogus and faults. I am so furious. The next stop is lawsuits. I need my government to help me. Other people are in the same situation. And I'm sure they are equally as frustrated and angry. Please help me. I don't know what else to do. This is all I know to do at this point. They are ignoring me. I didn't save any information other than the documentations attached to this report showing the account and the derogatory status with XXXX  and XXXX. I am so tired of this. It's like some XXXX that you can't get rid of. You do everything but it's still sticks to you. Please help rid me of this misinformation, fraudulent XXXX. That's what it is. These credit bureaus take horrible advantage of consumers. Most consumers don't know how to fight back. I really don't either. But I'm trying to do all that I know to do. Please advise. There is no excuse for this to remain on my credit bureau or reflect anything negative towards me any longer.
