I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

Dear XXXX, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding their attempts to collect a debt of {$1000.00} allegedly owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has inaccurately claimed that the account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX, which contradicts the fact that I was with XXXX as a longstanding customer as of XX/XX/XXXX.

Furthermore, their failure to respond to my dispute is a violation of the FCRA 's requirement to investigate and respond to consumer disputes in a timely manner. 

I hereby request that XXXX XXXX XXXX  verify the validity of the debt owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX and promptly remove any fraudulent reporting from my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this matter, I have received no response from XXXX XXXX XXXX as of the date of this complaint, XX/XX/XXXX. 

I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against XXXX XXXX XXXX to ensure compliance with federal consumer protection laws. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I noticed on my credit report that I a late payment for Lexus Financial. It was from 2021. I called them to discuss and we both came to the conclusion that it was when I signed up for Automatic payments from my checking account. I must have not submitted something properly and it didn't take the money from account. It was rectified the next month when I realized that my payment had not come out. 

That is the only late payment on my credit report and the only late payment I have ever had with them. It was a simple mistake and I asked if they could please get that taken off of my credit report and they stated they could not the error would have had to be on their end. 

They suggested to me that I come to this website and try and have you get it rectified. I hope you can assist me with this.
