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  Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and 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 : Payment Was Made on Time : According to my records, the payment was made within the required timeframe. Attached is a copy of my bank statement showing that the payment was successfully processed before the due date. 
Clerical Error by Creditor : There appears to have been a clerical error during the payment process, as I never received any notification of a missed payment. XXXX confirmed that no payment was missed, and I have attached correspondence with them to support this claim.

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

What occurred within my credit file is somehow someone reported the balance of my XXXX XXXX credit card prematurely outside its noraml 30 day reporting cycle. I keep track of when my credit cards are reported each month. XXXX XXXX does not report my credit balance until the XXXX ( sometimes XXXX ) of each month. Credit card companies " do not '' prematurely report credit card balances. There is no valid reason to do it, there are no benefits for doing it. Period. 

The XXXX instance represents the second time this has occured in my credit file. Months ago it occurred with my Experian credit file with one of my other credit cards. It was prematurely reported 21 days ahead of schedule causing my credit score by XXXX points. Now in this new case with XXXX, my credit score has instantly dropped by XXXX points. 
I work very hard to move my credit score northward and keep it from dropping so it is unacceptable for my score to drop because my balance was prematurely reports. I pay my balances off each month prior to the accounts being reported, or very close to zero. 
What I know so far is : 1 ) When I contact the credit card companies, XXXX in this case, they emphatically state that they did not, and do not prematurely report balance, which implies that the CRA was responsible somehow 2 ) What is also a pattern when it has occurred - it's always isolated to only 1 CRA. In other words the update to my XXXX file, only occurred the. The same was true when it happened with Experian. Never did it affect all XXXX bureaus. 
I will get to the bottom of the issue, even if I must take Experian & and/or XXXX to court to prove they are responsible for the updates. 

So what is the implication : - it's against the law for CRAs to self-report - When a CRA reports a consumers credit data without he actual data furnisher, it represents a violation of the consumer 's privacy. It's the same as a data breach, and affords heavy penalties. If XXXX or Experian who may have intentionally done this, for their own purposes, and then claim it was the creditor who did, and then respond back via the CFPB portal and to me they were not involved, then they have not committe fraud, not to be taken lightly. I understand why an XXXX or Experian whould choose to deny involvement, however do understand I will og after you in court for fraud and other violations!

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

On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Dear Experian I am writing to request the deletion of inaccurate and fraudulent accounts present on my consumer credit reports and to bring to your attention the failure of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX to provide the necessary proof of debt validation within the stipulated time frame of 30 days. I have previously sent certified dispute letters to these companies requesting verification of these accounts, as per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and have obtained a certified receipt with a signature confirming their receipt of the letter. 

Despite my efforts to rectify the inaccuracies in my credit report and to ensure compliance with the FCRA, these companies never responded to me with the verifiable documentary proof, original consumer contract, or similar proof bearing my wet ink signature on it, 30 days went by and I received nothing from this companies. 

As outlined in the FCRA, failure to provide documented and verifiable proof within the specified time frame obligates the removal of unverified, invalid, derogatory accounts and information from my consumer report. Despite the receipt of my dispute letter and the lapse of the 30-day period, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX  has neither provided the requested proof nor rectified the inaccuracies in the reported information. They didnt respond to me at all and therefore by law I'm demanding the deletion of these accounts on my credit report immediately. 

I formally request Experian to remove the disputed accounts XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report, as per the provisions of the FCRA. The failure of these companies to validate the debt within the statutory timeframe signifies their non-compliance with federal regulations and warrants the removal of the disputed accounts. 

I have enclosed a copy of the certified dispute letters and certified receipts with the tracking number, date, and signature someone received it for your reference. I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter and the necessary action to remove these inaccurate and fraudulent accounts off my credit report. Thank you for your prompt assistance in resolving this matter.
