Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that appears on my credit report for my XXXX XXXX XXXX account issued by XXXX XXXX,. After reviewing my report, I believe this entry to be inaccurate and am requesting a correction in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681.

According to FCRA guidelines, consumers have the right to accurate information on their credit reports. Based on 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( Fair Credit Billing Act ), there appears to have been a billing error leading to this late payment mark. Under FCRA Section 605B, it is unlawful for a credit bureau to include information that results from identity theft or unauthorized activity on a consumers credit report once the consumer has identified the issue and requested a block of such information. I am formally requesting that this late payment entry be blocked from my report, as it may have resulted from inaccurate reporting or unauthorized account activity. I am prepared to provide any necessary documentation to assist in the investigation of this entry. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ), I am requesting confirmation that my personal information has been handled appropriately in the process.

Please see the details below : * XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX issued by XXXX XXXX * Date of Late Payment Entry : XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX * Disputed Amount/Details : Incorrect late payment reported on my credit report I request that you investigate this matter and remove any inaccuracies from my credit report. Please notify me in writing of your findings and actions taken within 30 days as required by law. If additional information is needed to facilitate this investigation, feel free to contact me at the above phone number or email.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a resolution that results in an accurate representation of my credit history.

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX ]

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
