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, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, 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 : The payment was processed before the due date, as shown in the attached bank statement. This error in reporting must be corrected. 
Clerical Error : There may have been a clerical error in how the payment was recorded. The payment confirmation from my records shows that the payment was made on time and should not have been reported as late.

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.
