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 Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and 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 : Payment Made Within Grace Period : The payment reported as late for XX/XX/XXXX was actually made within the 15-day grace period allowed by my creditor and should not have been recorded as a 30-day late payment.

Misapplication of Payment : Payments for XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX were sent and processed on time, but were not properly credited to my account due to an internal error by XXXX, leading t

o the incorrect reporting of 60-day and 90-day late payments. I provided substantial evidence in my dispute, including bank statements and payment confirmations showing that all payments were made on time and within the contractual grace period. 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

I was shocked to find incorrect accounts on my credit report this morning, and I have no clue how they got there. I checked my report, as I always do, but this time there were errors out of nowhere. I even refreshed my browser, hoping it was just a glitch, but nothing changed. The incorrect accounts stayed there after refreshing. I really need these documents reviewed thoroughly so that I dont have to worry about this again.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the inclusion of an account on my credit report that does not belong to me. The account in question is listed as " XXXX XXXX '' with Equifax, under account number XXXX. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : Right to Privacy ( 15 U.S.C. 1681, Section 602 ( a ) ) : I have the right to privacy concerning my credit information.

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and require the immediate removal of this fraudulent account from my credit report. I am concerned that this false information may negatively impact my creditworthiness and financial reputation.

My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
