Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX, Transunion, XXXX Subject : Dispute of Late Payment Report Request for Correction Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of a late payment entry on my credit report. The specific entry in question is under the account [ Account Name # XXXX ], reported by [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ]. According to my records, the information is incorrect, and I am requesting an immediate correction. 

**Legal Basis for Dispute : ** 1. **15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ** : This section mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy and fairness of the information contained in consumer reports. The erroneous late payment entry on my report is neither accurate nor fair.

2. **15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ** : This section emphasizes the need for the reporting system to be fair and equitable . Reporting an incorrect late payment undermines the fairness and equity intended by this law.

3. **15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ) ** : It is required that consumer credit reports are to be used in a manner that is appropriate and just. An incorrect late payment mark is an inappropriate and unjust use of my credit information.

4. **15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) ** : The section outlines the importance of maintaining the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of credit information. The current late payment entry fails to meet these standards, particularly in terms of accuracy and relevancy.

5. **15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ** : This provision excludes certain types of consumer information from being reported if they do not meet the criteria for accuracy and completeness. Given that the reported late payment is inaccurate, it should be excluded from my report.

6. **15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( iii ) ** : The code specifies that information must be reported with maximum possible accuracy. As this late payment entry is erroneous, it fails to meet this criterion and must be corrected.

**Requested Action : ** In light of these regulations, I request that [ XXXX, Transunion XXXX XXXX XXXX investigate and correct this error promptly. I have attached relevant documentation ( e.g., payment receipts, correspondence with the creditor ) to support my claim. 

Please provide written confirmation of your receipt of this letter and an update on the status of my dispute within the time frame mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
