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

Dear CFPB, I am submitting this formal dispute regarding inaccurate information on late payments reported on my credit file maintained by TransUnion for the account XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite sending previous requests for correction ( letters dated XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> ), no action has been taken, which violates both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Non-Compliance Under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are obligated to provide periodic statements at least 21 days before a payment 's due date. The erroneous reporting of late payments on this account indicates a failure to adhere to this requirement. Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681i compels credit reporting agencies to ensure the accuracy of information in consumer records, which has not been upheld in this case. 
TILA Non-Compliance The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) stresses the importance of providing accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The incorrect late payment reporting has unfairly damaged my credit score, thereby breaching this obligation.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) This act also mandates that creditors issue timely statements to avoid unjust penalties to consumers. The late payment reporting discrepancies on my account suggest a failure to meet this responsibility, resulting in unfair damage to my credit. 
Discrepancies in Payment Reporting For the account with XXXX XXXX  XXXX, the following discrepancies have been observed across the credit bureaus : TransUnion : The account incorrectly reports a 30-day late payment in XX/XX/year>, a 60-day late payment in XX/XX/year>, and a 90-day late payment in XX/XX/year>. These reports are inaccurate, as all payments were made on time and the account was on autopay. 
Recurring Errors The persistent incorrect reporting of late payments across TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX reflects a pattern of inaccuracies. These late payments have been wrongly reported even though my payments were made on time and the account was on autopay. 
Request for Immediate Resolution I request that these inaccuracies be promptly corrected and that the incorrect late payment notations be removed from my credit report. The information should be updated to reflect my actual payment history, which is 100 % on-time. If this issue is not addressed within 30 days, I will pursue further action, including legal steps and filing additional complaints with regulatory agencies to safeguard my rights as a consumer. 
Thank you for your swift attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the resolution. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Bank of America took my business account overdraft protection off line. Allowed the fines to build up to a point with their trouble and then filled a collections agonist me.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (CO)

This is to follow up on Case number : XXXX. Since filing this complaint there has been no resolution. The treatment I have received from Navient is retaliatory. My original charges were based on predatory lending. I was forced into a payment plan that doubles my interest by capitalizing unpaid interest on my loan periodically and they failed to explain these terms clearly. I still have not been informed which payment plans do not have this hardship clause hidden within the terms. Now, my balance is completely out of control. 

The retaliation piece is that it took over 2 months after a request Navient Consumer Advocate XXXX manager to contact me to explain these plans, despite the fact that I insisted multiple times around XXXX that one contact me. ( Horrible, horrible customer service. ) After another month of phone tag I finally spoke with XXXX. I still am not aware how to avoid paying double interest, and the details of the different plans. In any case, the cost of living is out of control and the best payment plan he offered is impossible. I told him what I could afford and he was unwilling to work with me. 

I also asked for a statement from Navient CEO XXXX regarding how secret double interest payment plans falls in line with his mission statement that involves helping students reach financial success. Needless to say I have not heard from him. 

Furthermore they are extending the process and willfully inflicting mental distress by making me resubmit information I have already given them to allow me to go into this new payment plan, which I can not afford. 

Is the goal of Navient to force people to default on their student loans by being predatory a lender and servicer? This is literally threatening my financial life and it can not be legal.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MD)

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( 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!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

In XXXX, I discovered several inaccuracies on my credit reports provided by XXXX and TransUnion, specifically concerning late payment entries inaccurately reported by XXXX. Despite multiple disputes filed with both credit reporting agencies and direct correspondence with XXXX, the issues have not been rectified. 

Initial Discovery and Actions Taken : On XX/XX/year>, I noticed erroneous late payment entries on my XXXX credit report and submitted a dispute. XXXX had previously confirmed these entries were reported in error. 
I sent further communications to TransUnion on XX/XX/year>, emphasizing the urgency of correcting similar errors on my TransUnion credit report. 
Copies of my identification, a complete payment history from XXXX, and utility bills were provided as part of the dispute documentation. 
XXXX 's Response : XXXX acknowledged the errors in reporting late payments but has not provided adequate documentation to the credit bureaus to correct these errors, as confirmed by direct communications. 
Lack of Resolution : Despite providing all necessary documents and following up, as of today, there has been no adjustment or removal of the inaccurate late payment entries by either XXXX or TransUnion. 
Repeated disputes and the provided evidence have been seemingly ignored, leaving the incorrect data on my credit reports, continuing to impact my credit score adversely. 
Requested Resolution : I seek the CFPBs intervention to ensure that XXXX and the concerned credit bureaus adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by investigating and rectifying the inaccuracies reported in my credit files promptly. 
I request the removal of all inaccurate late payment entries from my credit reports and a written confirmation from XXXX and the credit bureaus stating that the corrections have been made.

" 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 since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX Bank 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.

They received my request on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( I have all receipts sent by registered mail ). They sent back the total charges billed provider.

There is no description of services rendered, explanation of how the alleged amount was calculated including interest, no copy of any signed agreement between me and the billing agency, nor was a complete payment history present with the original creditor. I sent out another letter again, requesting for validation of the debt, they had thirty days to respond according to the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT. They received the second request on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and never responded. I sent the receipts and a letter to equifax that the thirty days passed and I received no validation of my debt and I had asked equifax to remove this collection immediately. Equifax never responded to my dispute ; it has been over six months. This is not a valid collection and it needs to be removed of my credit, there are many violations in place here.
