XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Florida XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute of Incorrect Reporting of Late Payments on Closed Account Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal dispute regarding inaccurate reporting by [ Credit Card Company Name ] to the credit reporting agencies.

The details of the account are as follows : Account Holder Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Credit Card Company : Lowes Credit Services Date of Account Closure : XX/XX/year> Upon review of my credit report, I discovered that the credit card company has continued to report late payments after the account was closed.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and that the late payments be removed from my credit report as they are not valid. 
For your reference, I have enclosed the following documents : XXXX. A copy of my credit report showing the late payments being reported. 
XXXX. Documentation from [ Credit Card Company ] confirming the date of account closure. 
XXXX. My correspondence with the credit card company regarding this issue. 
I respectfully ask for your assistance in rectifying this issue and ensuring that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history. I look forward to your prompt investigation and resolution of this matter. 
Thank you for your time and attention. Please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and 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 reported to be removed/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. 

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!
