I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

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 : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. 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 : Bank Processing Delay : I made my payment on time, but the delay in processing by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX led to the late payment being recorded. Attached is a copy of the bank statement showing the payment date. The delay was on the part of the bank and not due to any action on my side. 
Discrepancy in Due Date Communication : There was an inconsistency in the due date communication, which I raised with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. The discrepancy between the statements I received and the payment due date caused confusion. I have attached correspondence with the bank that acknowledges this discrepancy. 

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 XXXX
