This issue has caused significant financial hardship and stems directly from Bank of Americas violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). I have consistently informed the institution of these federal violations, yet no corrective action has been taken.

2. **Evidence Provided** : I submitted bank statements and a no-fault letter from a third party demonstrating the late payment was not my responsibility. These were disregarded in the dispute process. 
3. **Inconsistent Reporting** : The alleged late payment alternates between XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> across credit bureaus. XXXX has removed it due to its inaccuracies, yet XXXX and XXXX continue to report it.

- **15 U.S.C. 1666b ( b ) : Grace Period** Any applicable grace period was improperly handled due to the institutions failure to deliver accurate billing information.

My Requests 1. **Formal Reinvestigation** Conduct a formal reinvestigation of the disputed late payment, ensuring compliance with federal laws. 
2. **Investigation Documentation** Provide all documentation and procedures used by Bank of America XXXX XXXX, and XXXX to XXXX verify '' the late payment. This includes details on how shifting dates ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) were determined and why the evidence I provided was dismissed. 
3. **Correction of Inaccurate Reporting** Remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.

4. **Acknowledgment of Neglect** Address how my repeated communications regarding this billing error and violations of federal law were ignored, causing unnecessary financial hardship.
