Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Dear CFPB, I am reaching out to formally address TransUnion ongoing failure to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments on my credit report for my XXXX account ( Account Number XXXX ). Despite my repeated attempts to rectify this issue, including documented requests sent on XX/XX/year>, no action has been taken to amend the errors. This negligence directly violates both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and continues to harm my credit standing. 
FCRA Violations : According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate late payment reporting on my account suggests a failure to comply with this requirement. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files, which has not been upheld in my case. Despite multiple disputes, the erroneous reporting remains uncorrected. 
TILA Violations : The Truth in Lending Act emphasizes the necessity for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The inaccurate reporting of late payments has caused undue harm to my creditworthiness, impacting my ability to maintain favorable financial terms.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act reinforces the responsibility of creditors to provide timely statements, preventing unfair penalties to consumers. In this case, the improper late payment notation suggests that timely statements were not provided as required.

The following discrepancies were noted on my TransUnion report and other major credit bureaus : TransUnion : Shows a 30-day late payment in XXXX and XXXX, and a 60-day late payment in XXXX, despite consistent on-time payments. 
XXXX : Similarly, reflects a 30-day late payment in XXXX and XXXX, and a 60-day late in XXXX. 
XXXX : Reports 30-day late payments in XXXX and XXXX, and a 60-day late payment in XXXX. 
Nothing has changed despite XXXX previous disputes with TransUnion and the original creditor, and this continued misreporting has led to unnecessary harm to my credit score and financial reliability.

Desired Resolution : I request the immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notations from my TransUnion credit report. Additionally, please provide written confirmation of this correction. Failure to address this matter promptly may result in further escalation, including potential legal action and the filing of additional complaints with relevant regulatory bodies. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will handle this issue with the urgency it requires. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
