Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Processed Late by the Creditor : I made the payment on time, but due to an internal processing delay by the creditor, the payment was marked as late. I have attached bank statements showing the payment date, confirming that the payment was submitted before the due date. 
System Error in Payment Posting : There was a system error on the part of XXXX XXXX which led to a delayed posting of my payment. I have included email correspondence with their customer service confirming this error. 
Inaccurate Late Fee Notification : I was not informed of any pending late fees or penalties before the payment was processed, which further proves that the delay was caused by their internal system error and not by a failure to pay on time. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted my PSLF forms since XX/XX/2024 when I hit XXXX payments. After making the final XXXX payment on XX/XX/2024 I faxed one of the forms initially because my employer is not able to use the online tool. I waited and called and requested updates during this time and was repeatedly told that they XXXX. Couldn't find the fax XXXX. Couldn't tell me if they received the fax XXXX. A combination of both. On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a complaint Case # : XXXX. I received a standard boilerplate response that was a non answer and replied to that email without a response. I continued to update my forms and found a way to upload the file on their website in XX/XX/ 2024. They apparently did not receive this form and I was given the same reply about how they could not look it up or find it. Again in XXXX I submitted the form and this time on XX/XX/2024 I received an email stating " XXXX! Your PSLF/TEPSLF document was uploaded. '' I again submitted a complaint Case # : XXXX and still have not received a response to that. I received an email " Action needed for your PSLF/TEPSLF form '' on XX/XX/2024 - there was no information on the website. On XX/XX/2024 I received an email " Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) [ Case # : XXXX ] '' that noted my PSLF application had a status of " closed incomplete. '' There was no further information available on the website. I called again on XX/XX/2024 and was finally informed that they were not able to open my PSLF form or that it was not readable. So, I printed it, rescanned it and uploaded it again on XX/XX/2024 and received an email " Success! Your PSLF/TEPSLF document was uploaded. '' Again I called to follow up today XX/XX/2024 and was told they can not tell me if they have actually received this form, if there are any issues with opening/reading it. So again today I submitted the same form with the same response email " Success! Your PSLF/TEPSLF document was uploaded. ''
