XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX  XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Was Made On Time : My records show that the payment for this account was made on time, but there appears to have been a clerical or processing error. I have attached a copy of my bank statement showing the payment date to support this claim. 
Dispute Previously Resolved : The account was previously in dispute, and it was reported as resolved. However, the late payment was still inaccurately reported. I have attached the documentation showing that the dispute was resolved, confirming that no late payment should have been reported. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : During the payment submission process, there was a documented issue on XXXX XXXX  platform that delayed the payment processing. I have attached the payment confirmation showing that the payment was initiated before the due date. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I personally did not authorize or submit to any inquiry or credit check from ANY of these companies. One company was even able to pull my credit file TWICE IN two days! I never approved or even attempted to have my credit pulled bc at the time I was highly financially affected by covid-19. From immediate family to extended family to myself. There was no way I could afford any big purchases that required credit pulling. I'm asking that ALL of these inquiries be IMMEDIATELY removed from EVERY CREDIT BUREAU due to fraudulent reporting and sensitive information misuse. This includes XXXX, XXXX AND XXXX. This is immoral and illegal. I never spoke to these people, never met these people, let alone give out MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER for items or services I KNEW I could not afford or maintain. This is an EXTREMELY URGENT matter that needs to be taken VERY SERIOUSLY. I am willing to proceed under a court of law if necessary.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Processed Late by the Creditor : I made the payment on time, but due to an internal processing delay by the creditor, the payment was marked as late. I have attached bank statements showing the payment date, confirming that the payment was submitted before the due date.

System Error in Payment Posting : There was a system error on the part of XXXX XXXX which led to a delayed posting of my payment. I have included email correspondence with their customer service confirming this error. 
Inaccurate Late Fee Notification : I was not informed of any pending late fees or penalties before the payment was processed, which further proves that the delay was caused by their internal system error and not by a failure to pay on time. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 
As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

Between XXXX and XXXX, I applied multiple times for credit limit increases on my existing credit cards with Citi. Despite maintaining a responsible financial profile, my requests were consistently denied. The reasons provided for these denials varied each time, including explanations such as insufficient credit history or inadequate income, which did not align with my financial circumstances. 

In addition to seeking credit limit increases, I also applied for other credit card products offered by Citi during this period. These applications were similarly unsuccessful, with denials accompanied by different, often inconsistent reasons that seemed disproportionate to my financial standing. 

As an XXXX-American residing in XXXX, CA a city with a significant XXXX population the recent findings against Citi for discriminating against XXXX Americans have led me to believe that my ethnicity may have played a role in these repeated denials. Given the nature of Citi 's discriminatory practices, particularly targeting surnames ending in -ian and -yan and individuals in regions like XXXX, I am concerned that my applications were not evaluated based on financial merit alone. 

This realization has prompted me to question the integrity of the application and evaluation processes I underwent and whether they were affected by the biases identified in the CFPB 's findings. The varying and unclear reasoning behind the denials further fuels this concern.

My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. 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 reported in MAY to be removed.

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 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
