Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting by Equifax for Account XXXX Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against Equifax for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for account XXXX. Despite multiple requests for correction ( letters dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ), my requests have been ignored, violating both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). Since my last dispute, nothing has changed, and the inaccuracies persist. 
FCRA Violations : 15 U.S. Code 1681i : This section mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files. The failure to correct the inaccurate reporting of late payments demonstrates non-compliance with this requirement. 
15 U.S. Code 1666b : Creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The reported late payment suggests a failure to comply with this standard. 
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 and financial reputation. 
PAANL Violations : Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act reinforces the responsibility of creditors to provide timely statements, preventing unfair penalties to consumers. The persistent inaccuracies in my credit report violate this principle.

Summary of Errors and Discrepancies for Account XXXX Equifax Late Payment : A 30-day late payment was inaccurately reported for XX/XX/XXXX. 
High Balance : Reported as {$0.00}, significantly inconsistent with other bureaus. 
Last Verified Date : Listed as XX/XX/XXXX, differing from XXXX and XXXX. 
Closed Date : Not specified, inconsistent with other reports. 
Dispute Status : Marked as " Consumer disputes - reinvestigation in progress, '' yet no resolution provided. 
Account Status : Listed as " Open, '' conflicting with the closed status on other reports. 
Account Remarks : Incorrectly states " Amount in H/C column is credit limit, '' which does not reflect the account accurately. 
Two-Year Payment History ( Late Payment Dates ) : Reported a 30-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX. 
Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report. 
Written confirmation of the correction. 
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint further, including potential legal action and filing additional complaints with relevant agencies. The continuous inaccuracies in my credit report must be addressed to ensure compliance with federal laws and to protect my consumer rights. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Removal of Inaccurately Reported Accounts Details of the Issue : I am filing this complaint regarding two accounts reported by State Employees Credit Union on my credit report. These accounts have been paid in full, are closed, and being reported inaccurately. Despite this, State Employees Credit Union continues to report inaccurate and unjust information, including delinquency updates, which unfairly harm my credit score and financial standing. 

- Account ending in XXXX ( auto loan ) has been closed since XX/XX/year>, but somehow delinquencies fluctuated incorrectly and negatively, affecting my credit report through out the XXXX  year. I have attached the changes being made from XXXX, XXXX to XXXX. 
- Account ending in XXXX is a salary advance that was NOT classified as a formal loan, but based off income. I want to challenge this as improper reporting to the credit bureau 's. Also, this was not a charge off account. This account is fully paid in full and has been reporting incorrectly. 


Specifically : The delinquency statuses being reported on these accounts are incorrect and misleading, despite being satisfied. 
I have repeatedly requested documentation from State Employees Credit Union to validate their reporting. They have refused to provide this information, obstructing my ability to dispute these inaccuracies effectively. 

Attempts to Resolve : I contacted State Employees Credit Union directly to address these inaccuracies and requested the removal of the accounts, given their paid and closed status and their response was, it was nothing they can do. 
I submitted disputes with the credit bureaus, which were denied without sufficient justification or supporting evidence from State Employees Credit Union. Also, they still reported more incorrect information. 

Why This is Unfair : State Employees Credit Union 's actions are not only harmful but also unfair. I have met my obligations by paying these accounts in full, yet their inaccurate reporting continues to penalize me financially. Furthermore, their refusal to provide supporting documentation violates transparency and fairness principles.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Reporting and Request for Immediate Deletion of the Following Accounts that have surpassed the 30 days federal law dispute period : To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of multiple accounts listed on my credit reports with all three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) which I initially started the dispute on XXXX, XXXX, 2024 through CFPB. 

The accounts in question are : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX These accounts are inaccurately reported, and I have not received the required documentation or resolution within the legally mandated 30-day timeframe as outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This failure to comply with federal law necessitates the immediate removal of these accounts from my credit reports. 

Legal Basis for Dispute Under 15 USC 1681s-2, all information reported to consumer reporting agencies must be accurate and verifiable. In addition, per XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank, the issuance of a 1099-C form by a creditor constitutes an identifiable event of debt cancellation under IRS guidelines . Specifically, Event Code 7 refers to a creditors policy decision to cease collection efforts and cancel the debt. 

Requested Actions Verification of the Account Balances : Provide clear evidence confirming that the balances reported for the XXXXXXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX accounts are accurate and legally collectible. 

Provision of the 1099-C Forms : If these accounts were canceled and a 1099-C form was issued, supply copies of these forms to verify the identifiable events of debt cancellation.

Permanent Deletion of Inaccurate Accounts : If the debt was canceled under IRS Event Code 7 or can not be verified, both accounts must be permanently deleted from my credit reports in compliance with the FCRA. 

Failure to Respond If you fail to address this dispute within the 30-day investigation period, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) , and other relevant authorities.

I have attached supporting documents, including copies of my credit reports highlighting the disputed accounts, for your reference. I look forward to receiving a written confirmation that these inaccuracies have been corrected and that the accounts have been permanently deleted from my credit reports. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
