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 : Payment Was Made On Time : My records show that the payment for this account was made on time, but there appears to have been a clerical or processing error. I have attached a copy of my bank statement showing the payment date to support this claim. 
Dispute Previously Resolved : The account was previously in dispute, and it was reported as resolved. However, the late payment was still inaccurately reported. I have attached the documentation showing that the dispute was resolved, confirming that no late payment should have been reported. 
XXXX XXXX System Error : During the payment submission process, there was a documented issue on XXXX XXXX  platform that delayed the payment processing. I have attached the payment confirmation showing that the payment was initiated before the due date.

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.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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!

These companies pulled my credit report without my authorization, and its had a direct impact on my credit score. I reached out to Experian, and although a representative promised these fraudulent inquiries would be removed, they are still present. This situation is deeply concerning, as Im now worried about potential identity theft. Beyond the stress of dealing with these inaccuracies, the damage to my credit score is affecting my financial options, limiting my ability to get approved for loans or credit, and adding even more pressure to my life.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful.
