XX/XX/2024 Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax 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 XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/2024 Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXXXXXX. 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 made within the 15-day grace period : My payment for XX/XX/2024 was made on time, which falls within XXXX XXXX  15-day grace period. Therefore, the account should not have been reported as 30 days late. 
Error caused by automatic payment system : I had set up an automatic payment for XX/XX/2024 through XXXX XXXX 's payment system. However, due to a system error, the payment was delayed and processed late. This was an error beyond my control, and I acted promptly to resolve the issue when notified. 
Evidence provided : I have attached my bank statements and the payment confirmation showing that the payment was made on time, confirming that I acted within the allowed time frame. Additionally, documentation from XXXX XXXX acknowledging the system error has been included. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax 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 XXXX

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

In XX/XX/XXXX, I moved out of my apartment early and had to break my lease. The building management made up a lease break fee of {$5000.00}. I refused to pay this fee as it was not mentioned in the lease. They then withheld my security deposit, and claimed that I owed them {$1700.00} for leaving my lease. This fee was also not written in the lease so I refused to pay it. On XX/XX/XXXX, they sent a third party debt collector after me who contacted me through phone call and email. The building management told the debt collector that I did not pay XX/XX/XXXX rent. I showed the debt collector evidence that I in fact, did pay XX/XX/XXXX rent. The debt collector did not respond to the information I provided. Instead, they placed a collections account of {$700.00} with all three of my credit reporting agencies. 

I would like this collections account removed from my credit reports as a ) the debt collector is using false information to collect my debt and b ) the building management is still unlawfully withholding my {$1000.00} security deposit.

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation.

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Regardless of the multiple written requests, the ITEMS listed below are still reporting on my credit report which is a violation of FCRA.

Given all my attempts to address it directly with 3 CREDIT BUREAUS, they are willfully negligent and non-complying with federal statutes & I need this matter handled immediately.
