Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed 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. 

This company never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 

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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.

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 Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax XXXX 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 for this account was made on time for the billing cycle due in XX/XX/XXXX, but the creditor incorrectly reported it as late. I have attached bank statements and payment confirmation showing that the payment was successfully made well before the due date.

Despite my timely payment and the evidence provided, the late payment entry has not been corrected by the reporting agencies.

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.

Best Buy I paid XXXX of XXXX XXXX. 
XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  they email me thank you for your payment. 
Again XX/XX/XXXX thank you for your Payment. 

Next Email was XX/XX/XXXX thank you for payments Next Email XX/XX/XXXX thank you for your payment Best Buy billed me I noticed a large bill XX/XX/XXXX for {$3000.00} dollars and minimum payment of {$370.00}. I to paid the entire bill. 


I began to look back because this is wrong. 
After I complained to the company and XXXX They updated and there things appeared all explained. 

XX/XX/XXXX there is a bill of {$3000.00}. Minimum pay of {$370.00}. 

The month before and after this bill I paid it appears {$50.00} and this goes on until XX/XX/XXXX. Best Buy stated thank you for your payment. 

If a company asked for Minimum due {$370.00} and you pay {$50.00} for a year, this is usually unheard of. According Best Buy I was able to make purchases. 


My email from Best Buy do not reflect any of these payments. from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  to XX/XX/XXXX these is no email for all my payments. 

Also when I looked back I originally did not see the XXXX dollars reflected as a payment. 
Until I complain everything was updated and found.
