I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed an identity theft report with the FTC identifying XXXX  accounts ( XXXX and XXXX ). 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), these accounts should have been blocked and removed from my consumer reports, but they remain listed. XXXX, XXXX only initiated their own identity theft investigation on XX/XX/XXXX, months after the FTC report and seemingly in response to a recent CFPB complaint. This delay highlights a failure in communication between consumer reporting agencies and furnishers and their lack of adherence to proper procedures. Despite this investigation, XXXX  has not validated the alleged debts or provided the required documentation requested in previous correspondence, violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Furthermore, none of the consumer reporting agencies ( XXXX, EXPERIAN, and XXXX ) have deleted this information. Moreover, despite XXXX 's claim that they would cease all communications as of XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX continues to send unauthorized communications to consumer reporting agencies and has not removed the disputed tradeline entries from my reports. 

The consumer reporting agencies have demonstrated a severe failure to follow proper procedures by neglecting to promptly delete the fraudulent entries associated with XXXX accounts from my credit reports. Despite my timely identity theft report filed with the FTC on XX/XX/XXXX, which required the immediate removal of these accounts, the agencies have failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Their negligence in updating their records and removing the disputed entries not only contravenes federal regulations but also continues to cause significant harm to my profile. This oversight reflects a serious lapse in their responsibility to ensure the accuracy and integrity of consumer reports, exacerbating the damage to my financial standing and rights.

This evening, I was really surprised and upset to discover inaccurate accounts listed on my credit report, which I dont understand at all. I routinely check my report, but this time, errors just showed up out of nowhere. I tried refreshing my browser in case it was a mistake, but it wasnt. With this problem in mind, Im asking that the documents I sent be carefully reviewed so I can put this issue to rest once and for all.
