XX/XX/year>2024 Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding your failure to correct inaccurate information on my credit report for my account with XXXX, Account Number XXXX. Despite multiple written requests for correction, dated ( XX/XX/year> ), my requests have been consistently disregarded. This failure constitutes violations of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations : Under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic statements at least XXXX  days before the payment due date. The inaccurate late payment reporting on my account indicates a failure to meet this legal requirement. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies verify the accuracy of information in consumer files, which has not been adhered to in this case. The discrepancies in my credit report remain unresolved, showing negligence on the part of TransUnion to ensure accuracy as mandated. 
TILA Violations : The Truth in Lending Act emphasizes the requirement for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. Due to the inaccurate reporting of a late payment, my creditworthiness has been adversely impacted, affecting my financial stability. 
Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : The XXXX underscores the duty of creditors to provide timely statements, which would prevent unfair penalties, such as this late payment reporting, that harm consumers without due cause. 
The following discrepancies were noted on my credit report across all three major credit bureaus : TransUnion : XXXX marked as XXXX  days late, although previous payments were timely. 
XXXX : Similarly, XXXX indicates a XXXX late status despite consistent timely payments. 
XXXX : XXXX a XXXX late entry in XXXX as well, contradicting previous payments made on time. 
Nothing has changed despite XXXX previous disputes with TransUnion and the original creditor, and this continued misreporting has led to unnecessary harm to my XXXX XXXX and financial reliability. 
Desired Resolution : I request the immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notation from my credit report. Additionally, please provide written confirmation of this correction. Failure to address this matter promptly may result in further escalation, including potential legal action and the filing of additional complaints with relevant regulatory bodies. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will give this issue the urgency it requires. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (VA)

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!

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (FL)

As youre well aware, next to XXXX XXXX companies, Wells Fargo has ripped off consumers, based on their fines, more than any lender. On XXXX occasions, I have put payments in to their website and XXXX times with mortgage and now XXXX times with credit card and they magically disappeared. Now they just scammed me for a late fee for the credit card. I tried to contact them to obtain their legal address and the XXXX was in a fighting mood. Im in no mood to deal with a company that tries to commit fraud against the working person. We have went through XXXX hurricanes, and we still are suffering through damage. I want you to open an investigation against Wells Fargo, its time to stand up to crooks that continue to rip off the public. How many fines does Wells Fargo have to get before they stop trying to swindle the working class. Their website makes it impossible to email them about issues, and their Customer Service is always combative. XXXX times is not a fluke, XXXX times of payments disappearing. I dont have this issue with any other creditors, things go smoothly when I schedule my payment, but not with Wells Fargo XXXX Based on my credit history and Wells Fargo history of being sanctioned for ripping consumers off, I believe there is an issue with this company running a con game.

Issue: Opening an account — Account opened as a result of fraud
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (MD)

I was looking over my emails when I noted a message from TD bank that informed me that my account was ready for my first deposit. The account had been opened yesterday, XX/XX/2023 using my email of XXXX. I had not opened a new banking accounts and did not use my email and evidently the account was opened using my social security number. There had been no deposit as of this morning XX/XX/2023. I called TD bank as soon as I saw the bank notifying me that my account ( per-se ) was ready for my deposit. I had not known of this bank or its name until today. TD banking has closed the account opened in my name and my social security number. The account was immediately closed and I was informed by TD bank that my identity had been stolen. The bank has sent a notice to their customer fraud account. I was informed that I would receive a letter in the mail giving me information as to the fraud and that TD bank does an investigation as well as reporting this to consumer crediting monitoring that the bank has for such instances. I was directed to file a report with the FTC that lead me to this site to report stolen identity. TD banking has given me a year of free credit monitoring but also recommended that I purchase an account elsewhere for credit monitoring as TD bank took a few weeks to start. I notified my husband of this occurrence. If needed I have the last four numbers of the checking account whereas I had my identity stolen. The TD banking was helpful and informative. I was also was told that it would be a good idea to close my aol account to further more protection. I never give out my social security number or show the card to anyone except the IRS or if I am at the SOCIAL Security office so I am at a loss to understand how this can happen but TD bank said there are more than 10,000 identities per month in the United States.
