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 Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 payment was processed before the due date, as shown in the attached bank statement. This error in reporting must be corrected.

Clerical Error : There may have been a clerical error in how the payment was recorded. The payment confirmation from my records shows that the payment was made on time and should not have been reported as late.

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, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX

My sister and I have the exact same social security number with the exception of the very last digit. While going through my credit report recently I found several items on my credit which I did not open and I am positive that it was due to my sister using my social for her accounts. There are 7 student loans taken out in 2009 alone. There's no way that they all belong to me. I would like to see about researching which ones belong to me and which ones don't and see about removing the ones that do not belong to me from my credit report. 
My sister was working for XXXX XXXX a little more than a year ago and during that time her student loans were not reflecting negatively on the credit report because the company has a repayment program but a year ago my sister left that company and now all of a sudden I have all of these extra student loans that have hit my credit report and lowered my credit almost 200 points. 
I have been trying for months now to be able to figure out where the student loans are being held how much is being held and when they were open so that I could figure out which ones I needed to dispute but every single loan holder that I have called has no record of my accounts existing at all. 
I am at my Wit 's end and I don't know what to do from here and I would greatly appreciate the assistance
