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 XXXX XXXX XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax 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 reported late payment was due to an error in the automatic payment system set up with XXXX. My payment was scheduled and authorized on time, but due to a glitch in the system, it was not processed until after the due date. This error was beyond my control and does not accurately reflect my payment history. 
Evidence provided : Bank statement showing the payment was initiated on time. 
Correspondence from XXXX acknowledging the issue with their payment processing system. 
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.

I am a consumer as defined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( " FCRA '' ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( " FDCPA '' ). 
The companies violated my rights.

I discovered that XXXX, XXXX, EQUIFAX, and XXXX has reported an account in collections on my consumer credit report. This account is inaccurately reflected and constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law. 

Violations of Federal Law : XXXX is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ), which states that the inclusion of adverse items of information more than seven years old in a consumer report is prohibited. The collection in question has exceeded this statutory limit.

Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ( a ), which governs billing errors, it is required that creditors and their reporting agents, such as credit bureaus, properly handle disputes regarding erroneous charges and ensure accurate reflection of account statuses. XXXX, EQUIFAX, and XXXX, failed to comply with this requirement. 
Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1692c ( c ) prohibits continued reporting or communication regarding a disputed debt without proper verification. The collection account was reported without proper validation of the debt. 

I hereby demand that XXXX, EQUIFAX, and XXXX immediately remove the illegal collection accounts from my consumer credit report in full compliance with the aforementioned legal statutes. 
I further request a written statement confirming the removal of this erroneous collection from my credit report and an updated credit report reflecting the corrected information. 
Failure to remove this account will result in further legal action to protect my rights under the FCRA and FDCPA.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

My accounts 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/updated.

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.

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!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (ID)

I recently reviewed my credit reports from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX and discovered multiple incorrect items, including inaccurate personal identifiers. During the week of XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted each agency to dispute these inaccuracies, providing them with my correct name and address. Despite my efforts, the CRAs refused to remove all the inaccurate information. 

This continued reporting of incorrect information poses a significant risk to my privacy and security. It increases the likelihood of personal mail being sent to the wrong address, thereby exposing me to potential identity theft and fraud. The failure of these agencies to correct these inaccuracies despite clear evidence constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that CRAs ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.
