Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be updated.

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. 


EXPERIAN 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Formal Dispute Regarding Inaccurate and Incomplete Credit Reporting for Account # [ XXXX ] listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681 ], I have the right to dispute inaccurate, incomplete, or untimely information and to expect maximum accuracy in the reporting of my credit information. Upon reviewing my credit file, I have identified the following issues that need immediate investigation and resolution : Issues Identified XXXX. Failure to Report to [ XXXX/Equifax ] XXXX This account is being reported only to XXXX and is not present on my [ XXXX/Equifax ] report. This selective or inconsistent reporting leads to an incomplete representation of my credit history, potentially impacting my creditworthiness unfairly. FCRA Violation : FCRA XXXX ( b ) mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports. Omitting this account from [ XXXXEquifax ] may result in an incomplete and inaccurate portrayal of my credit file. XXXX. Delayed or Untimely Reporting : The account shows a Last Reported date of XX/XX/year>, which is nearly a month after the Date of Last Payment ( XX/XX/year> ). This raises concerns about whether the account information is being updated promptly and accurately.

Incomplete Account Comments or Notes : The Comments section is blank, with no notation of whether this account was previously disputed or resolved.

Subject : Dispute of Unauthorized Credit Inquiries What Happened? 
I previously filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. The reference number for that complaint is FTC Complaint Number XXXX, filed on FTC Complaint Date XX/XX/XXXX. 
Complaint Description : My credit report contains unauthorized inquiries that were made without my consent. Upon contacting the creditors responsible for these inquiries, they confirmed they have no evidence that I initiated these inquiries and lack any written or verbal authorization from me. 
Due to the lack of valid grounds for these inquiries, I formally requested their immediate removal. The credit bureau in question has not provided a satisfactory response, which is why I filed a complaint with the FTC. 

Details of Disputed Inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Legal Grounds ( Fair Credit Reporting Act, FCRA ) : Permissible Purposes : Under Section 604, unauthorized inquiries do not meet the requirements for permissible purposes.

Handling of Unverifiable Information : According to Section 611, any inquiry that can not be verified must be removed.

Right of Verification : Section 609 grants me the right to verify each inquiry with an original signed contract.

Information Provider Responsibility : Section 623 requires that reported data is accurate and authorized.

Protection Against Identity Theft : Section 605A mandates the removal of unauthorized inquiries potentially related to identity theft. 
" I am attaching the report of the formal complaint filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) as additional support for this claim. This report reinforces my request for the removal of unauthorized inquiries from my credit report, as it details the lack of authorization for these inquiries and the inadequate response from the credit bureau involved. '' Additional Legal Support : Cases such as Hartz v. Pacific Creditors Association ( 2010 ) and Dennis v. BEH-1, LLC ( 2002 ) reinforce that inquiries must meet the FCRA 's permissible purposes requirements.

Formal Request : I am formally requesting a thorough and manual investigation of the disputed inquiries and their removal if there is no verifiable documentation. I reserve the right to take legal action and file an additional complaint with the CFPB and my state 's Attorney General. 
Sincerely XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
