My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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!

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

XX/XX/XXXX 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 Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : 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 Equifax 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 : I made my payments on time for the billing cycle, which was due on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. However, a late payment of XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX  days was incorrectly reported. 
I have provided evidence of this timely payment, including bank statements showing that the payment was processed well before the due date. 
There appears to have been a clerical or administrative error that resulted in the late payment being reported across all three bureaus, despite no actual delinquency on the account. 
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 XXXX, 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

I am writing to bring to your attention the ongoing issues I've encountered with the inaccurate reporting of my personal information and inquiries by the three major credit bureausEquifax, XXXX, and XXXX. Specifically, my credit reports reflect incorrect or outdated names, addresses, and employment history. These inaccuracies not only misrepresent my personal data but also have the potential to negatively impact my credit standing and financial reputation. 
Despite my efforts to correct these errors directly with the credit bureaus, they persist in reporting incorrect variations of my name, addresses where I have never resided, and outdated or inaccurate employment details. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus maintain accurate and up-to-date information. The continual failure to rectify these errors suggests a lack of proper investigation and due diligence on the part of the credit bureaus.

I am writing to formally request your assistance in resolving a serious issue related to identity theft and inaccuracies on my credit reports with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. 

On XX/XX/2024 I filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding fraudulent inquiries, incorrect addresses, and my name being reported incorrectly on my credit reports. I am a victim of both identity theft and a data breach, and inXX/XX/2024 I uploaded a police report to each of the credit bureaus to verify my situation.

On XX/XX/2024, I also mailed certified letters to the credit bureaus to further address this issue. Included with my FTC report were supporting documents such as my driver 's license, a utility bill, and a bank statement, all of which provide my correct and current information. Despite these efforts, XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX have failed to remove the inaccurate information, which has severely impacted my credit. This ongoing issue has made it difficult for me to access credit, as creditors are unable to verify my identity due to the conflicting information on my reports. 

I am seeking your intervention to ensure that XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX take immediate action to correct these inaccuracies and restore my credit standing. The continued presence of this erroneous information is causing significant harm to my financial stability. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response.

I am filing this complaint because I have noticed several collection accounts on my credit reports that I do not recognize or have any knowledge of. These accounts are inaccurately listed under my name, and my attempts to resolve this issue with the credit bureaus have not led to any meaningful action. 
I have provided supporting documentation requesting verification and removal of these erroneous accounts, yet the credit bureaus continue to report them as valid without offering substantial proof. This has caused significant damage to my credit score and overall financial well-being, and the lack of assistance from the credit bureaus is both frustrating and unjust.
