This morning, I was shocked to see the inaccurate public record information on my credit report. I regularly check it and it has never been an issue before. I tried refreshing my browser, thinking it was a glitch, but the errors remained. I can't believe this happened, and I am now requesting a thorough review of the documents I've sent to resolve this issue permanently.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed a series of inquiries that I do not recognize, for which I have already disputed with the credit bureaus. However, they have not provided me with the information that could validate them, which has led me to file this complaint for their removal, as they are incurring in violations of 15 USC : 15 USC 1681e ( b ) : The information provided to consumers is inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete.

My account with 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 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. 

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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

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.

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 XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, 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 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 : Payment Made On Time : I made the payment on time as per my records. Please see the enclosed bank statement, which clearly shows that the payment was processed well before the due date.

Clerical Error : There may be a clerical error in the reporting process. The payment was not accurately recorded or credited to my account in a timely manner, leading to this erroneous late payment report.

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 XXXX

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (AZ)

I have had the Goldman Sacks " Apple Card '' for XXXX years & I pay my balance if full monthly and it's set up on automatic payments in full on the last day of the billing cycle. I have not had any problems before with this. I also have two checking accounts listed there for payments ( XXXX & XXXX ). On XX/XX/23 in the early hours of the morning I received a notification that my payment of {$1800.00} was " declined '' - but the account number listed was NOT from either of my accounts. I immediately pushed through a payment of {$1900.00} from one of my accounts and another of {$17.00} from the other- both went through & were accepted. I was also charged interest for this - to date {$64.00} over this matter. I spoke to Goldman over chat on XXXX about this issue ( transcript attached ). Goldman Sachs apparently has NO IDEA HOW this happened, can not explain it & in spite of my multiple attempts to work with them, will NOT investigate it or return a call to me with any resolution or explanation. The agents all state they can not even see or tell me what account rejected it, admit there are only my two working accounts in their system & there must have been a " glitch '', but they can not help except for a one-time courtesy waiver of {$25.00} on interest ( which still leaves me out nearly {$40.00} ). I did have another account ( XXXX ) back when I first opened this credit card but the agents have all assured me that the old account was indeed correctly removed by me in XXXX of XXXX and that it was not the problem. I am also concerned about any reporting of this to credit bureaus as a " late payment '', when I in fact was not at fault & not only paid it timely but pushed through another payment the second I was notified of this issue. Something is NOT RIGHT with their system & their customer service and ability to investigate the issue is extremely poor.
