I am submitting this complaint on my own behalf. Upon reviewing my credit record, I discovered the presence of late payments.

I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter.

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 Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing 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 : Payment Processed on Time : I made the payment on time, but it was not credited correctly, resulting in a late payment entry. I have attached the payment receipt and a bank statement showing that the payment was made well before the due date.

System Error : I had set up automatic payments through my bank, and this particular payment was deducted from my account on time. It appears there was a technical issue between my bank and XXXX XXXX, which caused the delay in posting the payment. 
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 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
