My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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/updated. 

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.

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!

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 XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, 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 : My payment for XX/XX/XXXX was made on time, as evidenced by bank statements and payment confirmation receipts that show my payment was processed and sent well before the due date. 
Despite providing these documents, the late payment was inaccurately recorded on my credit report by all three agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax ). 
Even though I followed the correct dispute process per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax have failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 
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

This letter is to inform you that I received a copy of my credit report that your company publishes and after reviewing it I found a number of items on the report that are inaccurate and/or not belonging to me. The accounts in question are attached on a separate page. A copy of section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires you to block the fraudulent information on my credit report resulting from identity theft within XXXX business days and to promptly notify the furnisher ( s ) of that information. 

Please send me a copy of the documents that you have in your file as of the date of this request, that you used to verify the accuracy of the accounts that are attached. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681, I have the right to demand that you disclose to me all the documents that you have on record and retained in your file at the time of this request concerning the accounts that you are reporting on my credit report. Send me copies of the documents that you have and Please do not respond to my request by simply saying that the accounts have been verified or updated, but please send me the documentation that you used to verify that accounts in question. If you are unable to provide the requested documentation and/or do not have the documentation in your files as of the date on this letter then DELETE THEM IMMEDIATELY as required under Section 611 { a } { 5 } { A } { i }. By publishing these inaccurate and unverified items on my credit report and distributing them to 3rd parties you are damaging my reputation and damaging my creditworthiness. 

Under the FCRA are U.S.C 1681i, all unverified accounts MUST BE PROMPTLY DELETED. Therefore, if you are unable to provide me with a copy of the verifiable proof that you have on file for each of these inquiries from my credit report. Please provide me with an updated credit report showing items removed. 


Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, if they can not verify the debt within 30 days, then it must be removed. Your letters to me claim to have " verified '' the debt, but this is in fact not true under law. Simply contacting the alleged creditor and asking them to match up numbers in their database is no sufficient verification for identity theft. Of course the information matches up. Someone clearly used my information without my authorization Accounts that I didnt authorize and had no knowledge of or reporting accurately, police report and FTC report is on file, Please DELETE THEM Account Name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number XXXX Reason for dispute__IDENTITY THEFT Account Amount XXXX Account Name XXXX XXXX Date XXXX Account Number XXXX Reason for dispute _IDENTITY THEFT Account Amount XXXX INQUIRIES NAME DATE I HAVE NOT AUTHORIZED THESE AND HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THESE INQUIRIES XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.
