Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Texas, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) XXXX XXXX XXXX Iowa XXXX, IA XXXX Subject : CFPB Late Payment Removal - Final Request Dear CFPB Representative, I am filing a formal complaint against XXXX, Experian and XXXX for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for account # XXXX. Despite multiple written requests for correction ( letters dated XX/XX/XXXX ] and XX/XX/XXXX ), my requests have been ignored, constituting a violation of multiple federal statutes, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Violations Committed : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Violations : Under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The continued reporting of this inaccurate late payment demonstrates a failure to comply with this requirement.

15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of consumer credit files. In my case, this obligation has not been upheld.

15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) requires that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy in credit reports.

15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) states that certain transactions and experiences should not be considered part of a consumer report if they do not meet specific criteria.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Violations : The TILA emphasizes the necessity of accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The wrongful reporting of a late payment has damaged my creditworthiness, causing undue financial harm.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ) Violations : 15 U.S. Code 6801, 15 U.S. Code 6802, and 15 U.S. Code 6803 require financial institutions to protect consumer privacy and ensure the accuracy of financial reporting. The mishandling of my credit information suggests a failure to meet these obligations.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act holds creditors accountable for providing timely statements and preventing unfair penalties. The continued presence of this late payment on my report contradicts this protection.

Identity Fraud and Misreporting - 18 U.S. Code 1028A : The continued reporting of false information could be classified as a misrepresentation of identity or fraudulent reporting, which carries legal consequences under federal law.

Formal Request for Correction : I formally demand the immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notation from my credit report.

If this issue is not resolved immediately, I will escalate my complaint further, including potential legal action and filing additional complaints with relevant agencies.

Reference to PAANL ( Paid As Agreed Never Late ) : The terms of our agreement have always been met, and the account in question must reflect the status of " Paid As Agreed, Never Late. '' I request documented proof supporting the claim of late payments, including : Dates, amounts, and all communication records indicating that the payments were actually late.

In the absence of valid proof, I expect an immediate correction of my credit report.

If, after investigation, you fail to provide verifiable proof of late payments, I demand that the account be updated immediately to reflect its accurate status as " Paid As Agreed, Never Late. '' Per the FCRA, I expect a timely investigation and a written response within 30 days from the receipt of this dispute letter. Failure to comply will be considered a direct violation of multiple federal laws. 

Errors & Discrepancies Identified : Inconsistent Account Status : XXXX reports the account as Closed, while Experian and XXXX report it as Paid. 
This inconsistency should be corrected to reflect the same status across all bureaus. 
Conflicting Payment Status and Delinquency Reporting : The account is marked as Current in all three bureaus, yet the two-year payment history contradicts this by showing late payments ( 30 days late in XXXX and XXXX ). 
If the account is current, there should be no late payment history. 
This is a direct violation of 15 U.S.C 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which prohibits furnishers from reporting inaccurate information. 
Date of Last Reported Activity Inconsistencies : XXXX states the last reported date as XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX reports XX/XX/XXXX. 
The reporting date should be uniform across all bureaus to ensure accurate data. 
Missing or Misleading Comments : XXXX states : Closed or paid account/zero balance, while XXXX simply states Closed and Experian does not provide any comment.

The comment section should consistently reflect that the account is closed and paid in full. 
Incorrect Payment History : The two-year payment history for XXXX and XXXX shows late payments ( 30 days late ), even though the account is marked as Current.

This contradicts the payment status and needs immediate correction.

Resolution Requested : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report.

Written confirmation of the correction. 
Acknowledgment of compliance with federal laws. 
I trust that you will promptly rectify this issue and ensure my credit report reflects accurate information. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
