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 XXXXXXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by 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 unexpected technical issue with the automatic payment system that was set up for this account. Although the funds were available in my account, the automatic payment did not process as scheduled, resulting in a slight delay. Once I became aware of the issue, I immediately made the payment, which was only a few days late. This situation was beyond my control, and I believe it should not have been reported as a late payment. 

Evidence provided : Bank statement showing sufficient funds on the due date. 
Confirmation from XXXX acknowledging the issue with the automatic payment and the prompt payment that was made immediately afterward. 

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 XXXX.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NJ)

I noticed a late payment logged against my credit report. I contacted the credit card company and requested the statement for that month. On the statement it shows that payment was made on time. I disputed the late payment with the credit reporting agency for 3 rounds. On the 3 round of disputes I provided a copy of the statement which shows that the payment was made on time and it shouldn't be marked as a late payment. I also requested proof of the investigation to show that they contacted the credit card company and it was verified by the bank. I received a letter by the credit bureau marked as verified without providing proof of investigation. The credit bureau ignored the evidence ( bank statement that shows payment was made on time. Even though proof was provided, the credit bureau continues to fail to investigate the matter accurately.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
