I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than XXXX days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

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

Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the account # XXXX with XXXX XXXX. 
Despite multiple requests for correction, including letters dated XX/XX/year>XXXX  and XX/XX/year>, my requests have been ignored. Both XXXX and XXXX have already removed the inaccurate late payment from my credit report after confirming the error, yet TransUnion continues to report this inaccurate information, negatively affecting my credit score. This is a violation of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations : According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The late payment reported by TransUnion suggests a failure to comply with this requirement. Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of the information in consumer files, which has not been upheld in this case. 
TILA Violations : The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) requires accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The continued reporting of an inaccurate late payment by TransUnion has caused undue harm to my creditworthiness. 
Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act reinforces the responsibility of creditors to provide timely statements, preventing unfair penalties to consumers. 
Evidence of Removal by XXXX and XXXX : Both XXXX and XXXX have removed this late payment entry due to inaccurate information provided by XXXX XXXX. Their actions further prove that the late payment should be corrected or removed from my credit report with TransUnion as well. 
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 the relevant agencies. 
RESOLUCION Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report. 
Written confirmation of the correction.

Dear CFPB Team, I am writing to formally submit a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX regarding their failure to provide proper debt verification as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Background XXXX XXXX. 

Address : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Reference Number : XXXX Alleged Debt Amount : {$360.00} I contacted XXXX  to request verification of the alleged debt. I specifically requested documentation including a full account history, the original creditor agreement, proof of assignment, proof of my liability, and any credit bureau reporting related to this account. Despite my explicit request, I have yet to receive the necessary verification. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX 
XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX TrueAccord Account Number : XXXX Alleged Debt Amount : {$360.00} I also contacted XXXX  to dispute the validity of the alleged debt they claim I owe. Similar to my request to XXXX, I asked for detailed verification of the debt, including the account history and proof of assignment. I made it clear that until I received this documentation, I demanded that they cease all collection efforts. However, I have not received any response from XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint Both XXXX  and XXXX  have failed to comply with my requests for verification, which is a violation of my rights under the FDCPA. Their lack of response and failure to provide proper documentation leaves me with no assurance that the alleged debts are valid or that they have the legal authority to collect on them. 

Desired Outcome I request that the CFPB investigate the practices of both XXXX and XXXX. I seek enforcement of the FDCPA to ensure that these companies are held accountable for their failure to provide verification of the alleged debts. Additionally, I would like them to be reminded of their obligations under federal law to cease collection efforts until they can validate the debts they claim I owe. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and any updates regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian XXXX 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 : The payment was made on time. My records show that the payment was submitted in XXXX and XXXX, XXXX, well before the due date. I have attached bank statements and payment confirmation receipts as evidence of this timely payment. 
Additionally, I did not receive any prior notice or warning of a delinquency, further suggesting that there was an error in processing or crediting my payment. 
This inaccurate late payment entry has resulted in unjust negative consequences on my XXXX XXXX, affecting my ability to secure favorable credit terms. 

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 XXXX, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my XXXX XXXX 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.

I recently had some old files deleted off my credit report which in turn, boosted my credit score. My credit score was nearing a XXXX score minimum. I was shopping for a car and had several inquiries pulled. I also filed for XXXX XXXX, to save my home. All three credit bureaus dropped my scores at least XXXX points. It seems as though when my scores are heading upwards for my credit betterment, the bureaus deliberately drop my scores XXXX or more points. I believe as an XXXX XXXX, I am being unfairly targeted to keep me in a poor credit status. Credit inquiries when car shopping should not have affected me so drastically. My score had dropped so low, which in turn will take a year or more just to rebuild it. These practices are unfair and unjust.

" 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "
