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 resulted from a misunderstanding regarding the payment due date, which was incorrectly communicated to me by XXXX XXXXXXXX. I made the payment on time according to the information I had, but due to this miscommunication, the payment was recorded as late. This does not accurately reflect my payment behavior, and the late payment mark should be removed. 
Evidence Provided : Bank statements showing the payment was made according to the information provided. 
Correspondence from XXXX XXXXXXXX acknowledging the communication error. 
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.

These claims that the information in my report is negative, untrue or incorrect are unsubstantiated. To date I have not received any physical proof to back up these statements and eagerly await a reply from you. Document that you have complied with the reporting requirements, and report without any deviations. Please note that if you have not complied with the requirements, I will need to remove them from my report.

B - Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes The CRRG standards state that in order to make a report, you must follow their guidelines. Any deviation from these standards jeopardizes the integrity of data. ; This means any mistakes when reporting claims can have serious consequences for accuracy- which affects your federally regulated reports! With that said! I found some mistakes and inaccuracies in your report, which I would like to dispute/challenge. The following claims about me were not reported correctly and I am challenging these inaccurate statements.
