My account with ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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!

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report. 

Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the account XXXX with XXXX XXXX Despite multiple requests for correction ( letters dated XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> ), my requests have been ignored, violating both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate late payment reporting on my account suggests a failure to comply with this requirement. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files, which has not been upheld in my case. 
TILA Violations The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) emphasizes the necessity for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The inaccurate reporting of late payments has caused undue harm to my creditworthiness and negatively impacted my credit score, violating these provisions.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) This act reinforces the responsibility of creditors to provide timely statements, preventing unfair penalties to consumers. The late payment reporting errors in my case suggest that this obligation was not met. 
New Evidence of Error TransUnion : The account inaccurately reports a 30-day late payment in XX/XX/year> and a 60-day late payment in XX/XX/year>. However, the account was on autopay, and no payments were missed. 
Pattern of Inaccuracies The continued reporting of late payments across TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX shows a persistent pattern of errors. These late payments have been inaccurately reported despite my account being on autopay and having no missed payments. 
Request for Immediate Correction I am formally requesting that the inaccurate late payment notations be removed from my credit report immediately. The entries must be updated to reflect my true payment history, which is 100 % on time. Should this issue remain unresolved, I will escalate my complaint further, including pursuing legal action and filing additional complaints with relevant regulatory agencies to protect my consumer rights. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the removal of these inaccurate entries within 30 days. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Account Name : XXXX XXXX  Account # XXXX  Dear Equifax Dispute Resolution Team, I am writing to formally dispute an inaccurate charge-off entry on my credit report. This error violates both federal regulations under 12 CFR 1026.11 and my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other applicable consumer laws. I request that Equifax take immediate action to delete this inaccurate charge-off entry from my credit report.

Consumer Laws Violated : 1. 12 CFR 1026.11 ( Credit Reporting Accuracy and Integrity ) : According to this regulation, consumer reporting agencies must ensure that all information furnished is accurate, complete, and up to date. The continued presence of this incorrect charge-off, which does not reflect my true credit status, demonstrates a lack of accuracy and integrity in reporting.

2. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) : This section entitles me to have accurate and complete information on my credit report. The presence of a charge-off that is inaccurate is a violation of this right, as it misrepresents my creditworthiness to lenders.

3. FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Under this section, Equifax is obligated to investigate and correct or delete any information that is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. Failure to delete this charge-off is a breach of this duty.

4. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Section 807 ( 10 ) : Any representation of incorrect information, including an inaccurate charge-off, misleads and can deceive potential creditors regarding my true financial position. 

This account does not have an account # listed so how is Equifax validating this account? If this account is not removed I will pursue legal action.
