Complaint:
I recently ordered my consumer credit file from XXXX, XXXX and Equifax and notice these late payments with XXXX XXXX XXXX  # XXXX. I am requesting all be removed from my file this finding has caused stress, my credit utilization to increase which ultimately has caused a low credit score and credit denials along with higher interest rates. 


15 USC 1666 Does not include Late Payments. Please remember 15 USC 1681 ( b ), & 15 USC 6802. I have a right to privacy and I never gave any of the credit reporting agencies permission to furnish a report on you in the first place. 

The line of credit that I have with your company, which is characterized as utilization on my consumer report. Your company is illegally reporting this experience i.e. my utilization. On my credit report. Your company is in clear violation of the law pursuant to 15 USC section 1681 2 ( a ) ( i ) -exclusions except as provided in paragraph three, consumer report does not include a subject to section 1681S - 3 -of this title any ( i ) Report containing information solely as two transactions are experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. The law clearly states transactions or experience between the consumer which is myself and you the comp corporation making the report are not included on my consumer report. Utilization is an experience with the line of credit that was extended between the Consumer and me the person. Congress clearly states that the reporting transactions are experience between the consumer and the person making the report is not to be included on internal reports. My privacy rights has been violated and I have been denied credit due to your reporting of late payments and utilization.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
XXXX reported a 30-day late payment to the credit bureaus on XX/XX/2022 for the month of XX/XX/2022. I filed this complaint because the XXXX payment should Not have been reported late. 

Its been my experience in the past with XXXX and other creditors that if the past due payment is received no later than the following/next month 's due date, the payment is Not reported late. 

I have attached a copy of the transaction history for the last 5 months of XXXX 

You will notice that the XXXX payment was paid on XX/XX/XXXX, and it was not reported late, and therefore, the XXXX payment which was paid on XX/XX/XXXX should not have been reported late either. There are more days between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX than there are between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. So since XXXX was not reported late, XXXX should not have been reported late either. 

I am thankful I was able to pay both XXXX payment and XXXX payment and all fees ( {$2500.00} ) on the XX/XX/XXXX due date, so XXXX should NOT have been reported late. I worked very hard to meet this deadline and accomplish this, and it should not be taken away from me. This is NOT right! I owed additional fees when I paid XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and it was not reported late. I was able to pay all fees and bring the account current on XX/XX/XXXX, including XXXX 's payment, so XXXX really should not have been reported late. 

As I said before, this is not just with XXXX. All my other creditors do not report the past-due payment late if it is paid by the next months due date, and no later. XXXX should be no different.
