A compliance statement from XXXX and TransUnion will clarify that appropriate corrective measures are in place to prevent recurrence ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Heres a description of what happened, formatted to meet the guidelines for a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) : In XX/XX/XXXX, an erroneous late payment was reported by XXXX XXXX Bank on my closed account, which had a {$XXXX} balance as of XX/XX/XXXX. This incorrect information negatively impacted my credit reports with XXXX and TransUnion, despite prior disputes. Both TransUnion and XXXX have continued to report the error, while XXXX has already corrected the account details. 

I took several actions to resolve this, including submitting disputes to XXXX and TransUnion, but the inaccurate reporting has persisted. This reporting error has caused ongoing harm to my credit profile, affecting my XXXX XXXX and overall creditworthiness. As mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), XXXX and TransUnion are responsible for investigating and maintaining accurate consumer information. 

I request immediate correction of this inaccurate reporting on my credit reports, along with written confirmation of the correction, to ensure my account accurately reflects a {$XXXX} balance and closed status as of XX/XX/XXXX.
