" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

" After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. Your agency is conspiring with these creditors against me in committing aggravated identity theft and I have sustained defamation of my character, just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the account XXXX with XXXX XXXX. 
Despite multiple requests for correction through letters dated XX/XX/year>XXXX  and XX/XX/year>, my disputes have been ignored or mishandled. This ongoing issue represents a violation of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files. In my case, this requirement has not been upheld, as the inaccurate late payment reporting has persisted across multiple disputes.

Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate reporting of late payments suggests a failure to comply with this requirement, contributing to the errors on my credit report.

TILA Violations The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) emphasizes the necessity for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The inaccurate reporting of late payments has harmed my creditworthiness and violated these provisions.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) Furthermore, under the Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ), creditors are responsible for providing timely statements to prevent unfair penalties to consumers. The errors in late payment reporting on my account indicate that this obligation has not been met, resulting in undue damage to my credit score. 
Pattern of Non-Compliance The persistent late payment errors across TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX demonstrate a pattern of inaccurate reporting, causing undue harm to my credit score despite my previous disputes. 
I formally request that the incorrect late payment notations be removed from my credit report immediately, and that the account status be corrected across all three credit bureaus. Failure to address these inaccuracies will result in further escalation, including legal action and additional complaints to relevant regulatory agencies. 
Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report. 
Written confirmation of the correction. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Despite multiple requests for correction through letters dated XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, my disputes have been ignored or mishandled. This ongoing issue represents a violation of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of the information reported in consumer files. In my case, this requirement has not been fulfilled, as the same errors regarding late payments have persisted across multiple disputes. 
Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate reporting of late payments on my account indicates that this requirement was not followed. 
TILA Violations The Truth in Lending Act requires accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The inaccurate reporting of late payments on my XXXX XXXX account has caused unjustified harm to my credit score and financial standing, violating these obligations. 
Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) The Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) also reinforces creditors ' responsibility to issue timely billing statements to avoid unfair penalties. The errors in my accounts late payment reporting show a failure to meet this requirement, leading to unjust consequences. 
Pattern of Inaccuracies The discrepancies in late payment reporting across all three credit bureaus show a pattern of inaccurate information. These errors are causing harm to my credit score, despite my previous disputes. The information reported by TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX is not only inconsistent but also incorrect. 
I formally request that these errors be corrected and removed from my credit report immediately. If these issues are not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint further, including filing additional complaints with regulatory agencies and pursuing legal action to protect my consumer rights. 
Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report.

My account with this company 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 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. 

This XXXXOMPANY 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
