XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report. 

Dear CFPB, I am filing this formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for my XXXX  XXXX account ( Account Number : XXXX ). 

Despite multiple requests for correction through letters dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, 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 Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies are mandated to ensure the accuracy of the information reported in a consumers file. In my case, this mandate has not been followed, as the incorrect reporting of late payments has persisted despite my two prior disputes.

Moreover, under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic billing statements at least 21 days before a payment 's due date. The inaccuracies in late payment reporting indicate that this requirement was not adhered to, which further supports my claim of unlawful reporting practices. 
TILA Violations The Truth in Lending Act emphasizes the necessity of providing accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The incorrect reporting of late payments on my account has had a negative impact on my creditworthiness, thus violating these provisions. 
Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) Additionally, the Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act reinforces creditors ' responsibility to issue timely billing statements, preventing consumers from incurring unfair penalties. This responsibility was not met by XXXX XXXX in my case. 

New Evidence of Error The discrepancies across the three major credit bureaus for my XXXX  XXXX account involve inaccurate reporting of late payments in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. Specifically, both TransUnion and XXXX incorrectly reported 30-day late payments in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and a 60-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX. 

XXXX also reported similar late payments in XXXX ( 30 days ) and XXXX ( 60 days ), along with an incorrect 30-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX. These errors remain unresolved despite my previous disputes. 
Pattern of Non-Compliance The repeated errors across these credit bureaus highlight a pattern of non-compliance. This persistent failure to accurately report my payment history is unacceptable and has caused unjustified harm to my credit score. 

I am formally requesting that the inaccurate late payment notation be removed from my credit report immediately. 

If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint further, including potential legal action and filing additional complaints with relevant agencies. 

Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report. 
Written confirmation of the correction. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
