XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian 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 Experian 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 Delay Due to Billing Error : I was not notified of the correct payment amount, as the statement issued by XXXX contained an error. This resulted in a delayed payment, which should not have been reported as late since I resolved the issue promptly after receiving the correct billing information. 
No Late Payment Notification : I was not provided with any notice from XXXX XXXX regarding an impending late payment. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I should have been notified before any negative information was reported to the credit bureaus, which did not happen in this case.

Evidence Provided : I have attached my payment history and bank statements, showing that I made all payments once the correct billing information was provided. This clearly demonstrates that the late payment was due to a billing discrepancy and not negligence on my part.

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

There is one potential negative credit card on my account that does not belong to me. I have never had a credit card with the company. It says payments were made until I stopped paying then account closed. I do not know anymore details than that other than it does not belong to me. It says my address is in XXXX  and I have never been to XXXX. I have not been late on a single credit card payment and I have never been in or even near XXXX  ever. I have never heard of the company either. Please remove this because it is NOT mine.

The inaccuracies on my credit report are severely restricting my financial freedom. Due to these errors, I am consistently facing rejections on new credit applications, which is both frustrating and unjust. It is deeply concerning that my consumer rights are being disregarded in this way.

The president declared the above mentioned disaster on XX/XX/year>, and my car was repossessed by XXXX on XX/XX/year>. I immediately redeemed my vehicle and became current on all payments. I currently caught up and have a credit on my account due to extra payments made. 

Unfortunately the comment was added to my account that states " repossessed redeemed " which is hurting my credit score. When I called to request the company 's policy as it relates to derogatory remarks or late payments being removed due to hardships caused by a federally declared disasters. 

I was told by the representative of Cinch that yes, they were currently assisting victims of another federally declared disaster in the State of Florida, but because I lived in XXXX Illinois, she did not believe I could qualify for assistance. I let her know that if that was true that is very discriminatory and against the law. 

I asked her where I could file a complaint. She sent me a form to request a deferment which i sent to Cinch to request that the XXXX XXXX remark be removed from my credit report due to the repossession being a direct cause of a declared disaster. I asked to be sent the policy as it relates to credit reporting as it relates to disasters but I was given discriminatory information.

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 TILA US Code 1666B sinc e I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NY)

I have bought approximately {$15000.00} of American Express prepaid gift for personal and business use, as well as gifts for the holiday season. I bought this amount because of American Express promotion being currently run to promote purchases of these gift cards. 

These gift cards are marketed as being usable ANYWHERE that American Express credit cards are accepted.

Since buying them and attempting to use these gift cards, I have found that American Express restricts their use for many, if not most vendors. 
These are restrictions placed by American Express and not the vendors, as I have confirmed in each case. 

These vendors include very mainstream vendors, such as XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( utilities ), XXXX XXXX, and healthcare providers. In fact, anecdotally, the cards fail more than they succeed.

I have attached one screenshot from the American Express website showing multiple failed usage attempts despite the balance being available. I have printouts of other cards showing attempted usage at the other vendors if you require them. 

After doing some research, I note that the Internet is filled with hundreds of stories about the difficulties in using American Express gift cards, spanning back years. See this XXXX thread from 4 years ago and 1 year ago, respectively, outlining effectively the same problem. 

https : XXXX https : XXXX I have attempted to reach out to someone live in the past weeks at American Express gift cards . Their phone number is 100 % automated, as far as I can tell, and I can not reach a live person. The general American Express line just redirects me back to the gift card line, which is automated.

As I found that these cards are unusable, I have stopped my original plans to gift them and they are unusable. 

I would like to refund these and I believe American Express needs to stop marketing these as usable anywhere where American Express credit cards are used. That is clearly a false statement and it is influencing consumers to purchase these gift cards, despite being false.

My accounts 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/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!
