My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 in those account 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.

( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 contacted XXXX, one of the credit reporting agencies and disputed the information they had on file for me. corrected some of the information but left the charge off from XXXX and an Alias they had listed for me. Apparently the individual involved in the XXXX charge off was named XXXX XXXX who lived in the home I occupy previously. The name XXXX XXXX as listed as an alias I had used in the past. 

XXXX corrected most of the incorrect information but left the charge-off and the alias of XXXX XXXX. They indicated XXXX says the information is correct. I've since contacted XXXX and they will share no information with me. Later, I received a shipping notice from XXXX for a purchase I did not make. I also recently received a notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX trying to collect another XXXX debt that is not mine. Reference # and XXXX XXXX were included.

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 Was Made on Time : Based on my banking records, the payment was made before the due date. I have attached my payment confirmation as evidence. 
Clerical Error : The account in question had no outstanding balance at the time of the reported late payment. Attached are statements showing that the account was in good standing. 
Inconsistent Reporting : The late payment was reported inconsistently across different credit bureaus. This indicates a discrepancy that needs to be corrected. 
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

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

Equifax is reporting 2 h

ard inquiries on my credit report that I did not authorize. This is in direct violation to 15 U.S.C 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), as I did not provide written instruction or permission to furnish them on my consumer credit report.

This is also in direct violation to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) ( i ) ( 3 ) - Information Regarding Inquiries- as I did not initiate this credit transaction.

I called twice and spoke with 4 people ( 2 supervisors ) to get the unauthorized inquiries removed from my credit report, and I was told they will not remove them.
