XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX 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 XXXX 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 : The reported late payment was due to an error in the automatic payment system I had set up with XXXX. Although the payment was scheduled and funds were available in my account, a technical issue caused the payment to be processed late. This delay was beyond my control and does not accurately reflect my payment history. 
Evidence provided : Bank statements showing the payment was scheduled on time. 
Correspondence from XXXX confirming the technical issue that led to the delay in processing. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, XXXX 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.

My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 in 60 days 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.

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

I am filing a formal complaint regarding inaccurate information reported on my credit report related to my TARGET/TD account number XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX, late payments were reported for XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, which I believe to be inaccurate due to the legal protections in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following federal laws protect my consumer rights and have been violated in this case : 1. CFRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ) This law requires that any negative information on credit reports must be accurate and verifiable. In this case, the reported late payments do not reflect my financial situation during the protected period under COVID-19 regulations.

2. CARES Act ( Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ) Under this law, if a financial assistance or deferment agreement was in place due to hardships caused by the pandemic, payments should be reported according to the terms of that agreement. During the period in question, I was under a COVID-19-related assistance plan, so the late pay
ment information is inaccurate.

3. TILA ( Truth in Lending Act ) This law requires creditors to provide clear and accurate information to consumers. The account statements for the months in question do not reflect the COVID-19 assistance terms, violating this requirement.

I have attempted to resolve this issue directly with the credit bureaus and the creditor, but I have not received an appropriate resolution. Therefore, I am requesting the CFPBs intervention to investigate this matter and ensure that my credit report is corrected in accordance with the legal protections provided during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Attached is a copy of my credit report highlighting the inaccurate late payments, as well as supporting documentation showing that I was enrolled in a COVID-19 assistance plan. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a favorable resolution that ensures the accuracy of my credit report.

Starting XX/XX/XXXX XXXX started charging me XXXX XXXXXXXXmonth despite the fact that original bill that was promised to me at the time of opening the contract was {$170.00}. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I went to the store location listed above. The representative named XXXX called a customer service in front of me, applied a discount and said it going to be fixed and starting next month it should be lowered to {$150.00} till the end of the contract. They charged me this amount only once on XX/XX/XXXX and then it went back to {$280.00}. I filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission on XX/XX/XXXX and shortly after I received a call from XXXX representative saying that XXXX is not responsible for the misleading information provided by the store employee and they're going to continue charging the same amount that I'm disputing. I have cancelled my service with XXXX XXXX and switched to another provider. Today on XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call from someone claiming to be XXXX, saying that I owe {$2300.00} and they want to settle it down to {$1800.00}. After I made a payment I saw on the receipt that this was a Amsher Collection service and wasn't notified of that.
