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 and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a XXXX 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 : I made the required payment on time, as reflected by my bank statement. I have attached a copy of my bank statement, showing the payment was made before the due date, yet it was incorrectly marked late.

No Late Payment Notice : I never received a notification or statement indicating a late payment or any penalty associated with a late fee. This suggests that the payment was not considered late by the creditor at the time.

Processing Delay on Creditors End : The payment delay resulted from a processing error on the creditor 's end, which should not reflect poorly on my credit history. The payment was processed late through no fault of my own. 
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. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

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 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 : Payment Made on Time : The payment in question was made before the due date. I have attached the relevant bank statements and payment confirmation as evidence that the payment was processed on time.

Account Refinanced : The account had already been refinanced, and the late payment should not have been reported. I request that the refinance status be reflected properly in the records. This was an oversight, and I ask for this error to be corrected.

Clerical Error : It appears that there may have been a clerical error in reporting the payment. This is evidenced by the discrepancy in the payment records, and I request a thorough review to correct this inaccuracy.

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.

These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 in XXXX and XXXX o 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. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX 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!

I previously notified you on XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, that there was information on my consumer report as the result of identity theft. Also that I did not provide written permission or instructions for the identified transactions to be reported on my consumer report. In accordance with the law, the requirement threshold is simply : Proof of identity - a copy of my State ID was provided A copy of an identity theft report - furnished from identitytheft.gov, a government agency The identification of said information by the consumer - listed in my last letter but I digress is as listed : As the consumer reporting agency, a block of the information that resulted from an alleged identity theft should have been no later than XX/XX/year>. My request to block was and is not being made in error, nor is my request to block being made on the basis of a material misrepresentation of fact by me relevant to the request to block the identified transactions.

I have previously disputed with XXXX, Experian and XXXX regarding several accounts which I found inaccurate. Up to date, I have received no response nor proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports badly hurt my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

However I have not had any accounts with this companies. I dont believe that these accounts are correct, but they are being reported to my credit, and I am trying to make sure everything on my credit is correct. 
Can you please send me information showing that these debts are actually mine? And if they are mine, can you send me information that shows the amounts that I owe, because the amounts that these accounts say I owe seem higher than anything I was ever responsible for. I am also requesting that you stop reporting these debts to my credit or at least tell my credit reports that I am disputing the amounts and accounts. Also, please send me copies of whatever you send to my credit reports and whatever they send back to you. Because I dont recognize these debts.

Company: United Built Homes LLC (OK)

We live in XX/XX/XXXXand have a home mortgage with United Built. They take your land as collateral to secure the mortgage. We are in a mortgage with over 9 % interest, which is unheard of rates at this time. My income lowered by over 40 % at the time of the pandemic. We fell behind our payments and have been unable to get refinanced due to late payments. United Built would not even discuss a forbearance during the pandemic. So we are stuck in this high interest mortgage. We also have been unable to get any relief assistance because we are not in a federally backed loan. This mortgage company is so unfair to myself and others. While the government continues to offer help to those of us who have been impacted greatly by this horrible pandemic our mortgage company offers none. Very sad.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

In XX/XX/XXXX, my accounts with XXXX  ( Account Numbers : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) were locked and placed under investigation. During this period, I received explicit verbal instructions from XXXX representatives not to make any payments until the investigation was resolved. 

Despite following these instructions, late payments were reported on my credit report for XX/XX/XXXX : XXXX : 90 days late XXXX : 60 days late XXXX : 30 days late I contacted XXXX  multiple times to resolve this issue and was informed that regulatory constraints prevented them from amending the credit report. This response contradicts the verbal instructions I received during numerous calls ( on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, 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 ), advising me not to make payments while the accounts were under investigation. 

I actively attempted to make payments during this period but was initially prevented from doing so by XXXX system. Only after insisting and escalating the matter to a supervisor, and after multiple attempts, was I allowed to make a payment using an alternative method. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX again to address these discrepancies, but the issue remains unresolved. I have sent a formal dispute letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX office, detailing these inaccuracies and requesting an investigation. I included screenshots of a XX/XX/XXXX email and detailed call logs as evidence. 

The inaccurate late payment entries on my credit report do not reflect the actual circumstances and are compromising my creditworthiness. I request a thorough investigation into these entries and their removal from my credit report. 

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.
