My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 in 60 days 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. 


XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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!

For example, has the balance on my account changed? Was the late payment indication on my account removed? What has been updated? If your company cant fully disclose what has been updated, then I need you to re-investigate the item that I disputed. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Each day your company refuses to investigate the incorrect item is causing me stress. Im asking you for a second time to please investigate the negative accounts listed above.

I am writing to file a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding the unlawful reporting and handling of my accounts by the following creditors : XXXX  account # XXXX, XXXX XXXX account # XXXX, XXXX XXXX account # XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX. I believe their actions are in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681 Sections 602A and 604A ( 2 ). Under 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602A, creditors are required to provide accurate and complete information to consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) such as Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. However, the aforementioned creditors have failed to accurately report my account information, leading to discrepancies and inaccuracies on my credit report. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604A ( 2 ), consumers have the right to dispute any inaccurate information on their credit reports. Despite my repeated attempts to dispute the inaccuracies associated with the accounts mentioned above, the creditors have neglected to conduct a reasonable investigation into the disputed information and have failed to correct the errors. As a result of the creditors ' negligent reporting practices and failure to address my disputes, my creditworthiness has been unfairly impacted. These inaccuracies have hindered my ability to obtain credit on favorable terms, secure housing, and pursue other financial opportunities. I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against the creditors for their violations of the FCRA. Additionally, I urge the CFPB to ensure that the inaccurate information on my credit report is promptly corrected to reflect the true and accurate state of my financial history. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this issue.
