Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ). I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Furthermore, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( I ), a consumer report does NOT contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. A transaction constitutes these late payments resulting in Experian violating my federally protected consumer rights. To add to this I did NOT give Experian written instruction/permission to furnish these in accurate late payments on my consumer report or file, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) it is clear that Experian has violated my federally protected consumer rights under the FCRA, and the inaccurate reporting is causing me and my reputation severe harm and discrimination.

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than XXXX days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
