Complaint narrative:
I requested that Equifax remove all incorrect late payments from my credit report for XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX accounts ( account numbers : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ). However, instead of just removing the late payments as I requested, Equifax completely deleted the accounts, along with my credit history for them. 

I contacted Equifax to ask why this happened and to request that the accounts be restored with the late payments removed, as originally requested. Equifax responded that they could not do this, claiming that XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX had instructed them to remove the accounts. They provided me with a phone number for XXXX  XXXX XXXX that they allegedly used to communicate, but the number has been non-functional every time Ive tried to call. 

It is clear that Equifax removed the accounts despite my dispute specifically requesting only the removal of the incorrect late payments.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report, as allowed under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ). I believe this information is not correct, and I am requesting that you investigate this matter promptly. 
The item in question is a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX for the account number XXXX. The late payments are reported as being dated [ XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ], and I firmly believe this is inaccurate for the following reasons : XXXX. I have always made my payments on time, apparently they have administrative errors XXXX. Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), section 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ), creditors are required to provide clear and accurate information regarding the terms of the credit. If the late payment reported does not align with the terms initially agreed upon, it warrants removal. 
I also wish to highlight that under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, furnishers of information are obligated to provide accurate information to credit reporting agencies. Given the circumstances outlined, I respectfully request that you take the necessary steps to remove this late payment from my credit report as it does not reflect the true nature of my payment history.
