On XXXX I requested an investigation to remove inaccurate information from my credit report, i.e. accounts that are not correct or not mine and address and phone numbers that don't belong to me! The credit bureau has failed to investigate and or remove these inaccurate items. This is my second attempt to have these items corrected. But the credit reporting agency refuses to investigate and provide me with validation.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion 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 XXXXXXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by 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 reported late payment was due to an unexpected technical issue with the automatic payment system that was set up for this account. Although the funds were available in my account, the automatic payment did not process as scheduled, resulting in a slight delay. Once I became aware of the issue, I immediately made the payment, which was only a few days late. This situation was beyond my control, and I believe it should not have been reported as a late payment. 

Evidence provided : Bank statement showing sufficient funds on the due date. 
Confirmation from XXXX acknowledging the issue with the automatic payment and the prompt payment that was made immediately afterward. 

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

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WA)

I have attempted to request my complete full file disclosure, including the source of who provided my personal information such as address and dates, from all 3 bureaus but none of them will provide me with a full complete disclosure. They specifically said they will not be providing me the information of who supplied my address information or other information except for the account info. A file disclosure is not a credit report, but that is all they keep providing me every time I attempt to get my entire file. 

They will end up being caught red-handed as being the supplier of the dates on my address information but they keep telling me that it was supplied by my creditors. That is completely false and literally impossible ; the fact is they put their own date onto the " date reported '' as 9 years ago even though I haven't even lived here for a full year yet. If I need to find a new place then I can get totally screwed over by the information regarding my address history and I need it corrected the proper way instead of just putting random data on my credit report.
