XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion 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  Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XX/XX/XXXXXXXX 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to XXXX 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 : Despite making the payment on time, it was incorrectly recorded as late due to a processing delay on the creditor 's part. I have attached copies of my bank statements that clearly show the payment was made before the due date. 
Evidence provided : Bank statements showing timely payment. 
Correspondence from XXXX XXXX confirming the processing error. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion 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.

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

I am submitting a complaint regarding the ongoing inaccurate reporting of an account that has been charged off and is being improperly reported on my credit report. This charge-off is being reported as a new charge-off each month, the continued reporting of this balance is inaccurate, and the account is showing a balance of {$440.00}. As a charge-off account, this balance should not be reported in this manner. This charged-off account is in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), section 623 ( a ) ( 5 ), information furnished to the credit reporting agencies must be accurate and not misleading. A charge-off should be reported as a single event on the date it was first charge-off and not as if it were a new event each month. This is inaccurate and has caused significant and ongoing damage to my credit report.

I have already disputed this issue more than once with the credit bureaus, but the inaccurate reporting persists. Therefore, I am requesting the CFPB to intervene and compel XXXX XXXX to remove this inaccurate charge-off account from my credit report entirely. The continued reporting of this account in its current state violates the FCRA and is causing ongoing harm to my financial reputation. 

Thank you kindly.

A XXXX ago I contacted XXXX bank requesting they remove their record from my transunion and XXXX credit reports. They refused. I never opened this acct and the address they had on file was in XXXX VA. I have NEVER lived in that state. 

I also notified all three credit agencies and XXXX removed this fraudulent synchrony act from my record but Transunion and XXXX have refused to do so. 

This obviously impacts my ability to get credit at a lower interest rate.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
