" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (IL)

Never received any written notice validating this debt. 

They just posted to my credit report stating I have an open account with them. 


I am unaware of this debt and why it's even on my credit report. So therefore as allowed under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am requesting that you allow me to validate the alleged debt. The Portfolio Recovery has not provided any information about this debt aside from an alleged amount owed. 


Per 15 U.S. Code 1692c - A. this creditor is in direct violation. I would like this removed from my credit report until they can written provide proof or validation of this debt.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian 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 Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX 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 payment in question was made on time, as evidenced by the attached bank statements and payment confirmation receipts.

There may have been a clerical error in reporting the payment due to inconsistencies between my payment records and the reported information.

I have confirmed with my creditor that the payment was processed within the allowed grace period.

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian 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: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MD)

I have had the same loan with Suntrust/Truist bank for 20 years. I have always submitted the payment via bank bill pay, on time and with additional principal payment. The payment was submitted to the same address for 20 years. XX/XX/2024 the bank received payment of {$1500.00} for XXXX mortgage payment. This included the regular monthly payment of {$1100.00} plus additional principal of {$390.00}. The bank instead of correctly applying these amounts, instead applied the full payment to the Escrow account. I did not receive any notice or call from the bank and by chance discovered the mortgage was past due. I immediately contacted the bank to find out what was going on. They discovered the error and correctly applied the payments. I was not given any explanation as to why this occurred. 

On XX/XX/2024 the bank received {$1500.00} payment and applied this payment to escrow account. Again, I was not notified of the late payment due status due to the misapplication of the funds. I contacted the bank in XXXX to again let them know of the incorrect application of funds to the escrow account. This was corrected but I was still not informed as to how/why this was occurring. 

Subsequently, I was traveling for a month or so. I received notification from credit monitoring agency that there was a change in my credit score. I immediately checked my report to discover that Truist had reported my loan as 2 months past due and my credit score went from mid XXXX 's to mid XXXX 's. I immediately pulled up the account and discovered the both {$1500.00} payments received by the bank on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX were misapplied to the escrow accounts. I did not receive ANY notice written or phone call from Truist before the negative information was reported to the credit bureaus, a violation of the Fair credit Reporting act. I requested an explanation as to why I wasn't notified, why this error by the bank was repeatedly occurring and why they have not fixed the problem. I have been in the process of looking to purchase a new home and this has severely impacted my ability to purchase a new home due to the negative credit score information reported by Truist. 

I have requested a letter of explanation but have not received any written correspondence and they have not corrected the false negative information on my credit report.

A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

I sent a letter regarding the errors and unfamiliar entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't heard back in over 30 days. It seems like my concerns are being overlooked, and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. I might need to pursue legal action because of the stress this situation has put me under.
