XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payments on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments reported on my credit file maintained by Equifax. I believe these late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history for XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX. ** Complaint XXXX XXXX XXXX : The late payments listed on my credit report are inaccurate. I have consistently made my payments on time, as I have been enrolled in autopay for all my accounts. This account should reflect a record of timely payments.

Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting of these late payments violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as it misrepresents my creditworthiness.

Potential Violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of an incorrect late payment may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from misrepresentation regarding their accounts.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that these reporting practices violate the TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information.

Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports to ensure maximum accuracy.

Under articles 616 and 617 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ), willful and negligent noncompliance could result in civil liability, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and potential punitive damages.

Discrepancies in Payment History The discrepancies in reporting by each bureau are as follows : XXXX : Reports this account as closed with a specific closed date of XX/XX/year> and shows XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX late statuses in XXXX and XX/XX/year>, which are inaccurate as all payments were made on time. 
XXXX : Reports this account as open but inaccurately displays 30-day and 60-day late notations in XXXX and XX/XX/year>, which do not align with my actual payment record. 
Equifax : Similarly lists the account as closed with no specified closed date and shows incorrect 30-day and 60-day late payments for XXXX and XX/XX/year>. These entries are also inaccurate, as I have consistently paid on time. 
The conflicting account statuses across bureausopen with XXXX and closed with XXXX and XXXX with the inconsistent reporting of a closed date by XXXX, further highlight the need for an accurate correction to reflect my creditworthiness fairly. 
Requested Resolution I request that Equifax conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the inaccurate late payments from my credit report. I ask that all such entries be updated to reflect my true payment history of 100 % on-time payments and ensure that the account status is consistently and accurately reported. 
I expect to receive written documentation confirming the removal of these entries within 30 days of this complaint submission. Failure to resolve this issue may lead to further action to protect my rights as a consumer.
