XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion 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 TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by 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 Made on Time : The payment in question was made before the due date. I have attached the relevant bank statements and payment confirmation as evidence that the payment was processed on time.

Account Refinanced : The account had already been refinanced, and the late payment should not have been reported. I request that the refinance status be reflected properly in the records. This was an oversight, and I ask for this error to be corrected.

Clerical Error : It appears that there may have been a clerical error in reporting the payment. This is evidenced by the discrepancy in the payment records, and I request a thorough review to correct this inaccuracy.

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion 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

Company: Nelnet, Inc. (CA)

On XX/XX/, I applied for the new SAVE payment plan so that interest will not accrue to my account in excess of my payment. Nelnet has not yet processed my application as of today ( XX/XX/XXXX  ) despite promises by their representatives to process it no later than XX/XX/, and keeps adding {$14.00} interest daily. It is not my fault nor my problem that Nelnet is understaffed ; if they are not able to process my application, then they should pay the interest on my loans in the meantime. It is a conflict of interest for Nelnet to charge me daily interest for their failure to process my application as they profit from adding to my debt and keeping me in debt for longer.
