Complaint narrative:
The consumer reporting agency has willfully violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b Permissible purposes of consumer reports, by furnishing or reporting information on my credit file without my written consent or legal authorization.

Complaint narrative:
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. 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.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. A couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding the XXXX XXXX account belonging to XXXX XXXX XXXX. The creditor reported a late payment on this account without providing the required XXXX advance notice before marking the payment as late. 

According to the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and the Credit CARD Act of 2009, creditors must send a statement or notice at least 21 days before the payment due date. This requirement ensures that consumers have sufficient time to make their payments and avoid negative reporting. 

In this case, neither I nor XXXX XXXX XXXX received any such statement or notice at least 21 days prior to the payment due date for the billing cycle in question. Therefore, the late payment was inaccurately and unfairly reported, damaging the credit report without giving the required legal opportunity to pay on time. 

This has negatively impacted the credit history and score related to this XXXX XXXX account. I request that the CFPB investigate this violation and require XXXX XXXX to remove the late payment entry from the credit reports with TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax. 

I am prepared to provide evidence showing that the XXXX notice requirement was not fulfilled.
