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 TransUnion 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 XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute to TransUnion 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 : I encountered a billing error and never received the correct billing statement, which caused confusion about the payment due date. Additionally, the late payments notices arrived after I had already made the payment. 
There was also a clerical error where my payment was applied to the wrong account, causing a delay in processing. 
I provided bank statements, payment confirmations, and proof of the communication with the creditor where these errors were acknowledged. Despite providing this evidence, the late payment was incorrectly recorded on my credit report. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion 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 want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Reporting by XXXX and Experian for XXXX XXXX Account I am writing to formally dispute the incorrect reporting of my closed XXXX XXXX credit card account, [ account number : XXXX ], as reflected in my XXXX and Experian credit reports. Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with XXXX XXXX and both credit reporting agencies, the inaccuracies persist, and I am now seeking your intervention. 

Issue Summary : Credit Reports with Errors : XXXX and Experian Credit Report with Accurate Information : XXXX Account Status : Closed and paid as of XX/XX/XXXX Discrepancy : XXXX and Experian are incorrectly reporting 7 late payments ( marked " 30, '' " 60, '' and " 120 days late '' ) while XXXX correctly reports the account as " paid as agreed '' and " never late. '' LATE PAYMENTS DATE XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX Violations of Federal Laws : CARES Act Violation : Under the CARES Act, all accounts active between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, plus 120 days thereafter, should be reported as paid as agreed and never late, as long as the account was in good standing during the forbearance period. Both XXXX and Experian have failed to adhere to this federal mandate and are incorrectly showing late payments for the stated period, which violates the protections provided under the CARES Act. 

Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Violation : The FCRA requires that all credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information they report. Despite submitting several disputes to both Experian and XXXX, they continue to report inaccurate late payment information, and I have not received any details about their investigative processes. This lack of response and failure to correct the errors directly violates FCRA guidelines. 

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Violation : The TILA mandates that accurate terms and conditions are reflected on credit accounts. The erroneous reporting of late payments on my account misrepresents the status and history of the account, potentially violating TILA by falsely representing the terms under which my account was closed and paid off.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION

Complaint narrative:
I was sued by XXXX XXXX, XXXX for a time-barred debt for the amount of {$4900.00}. The last payment made towards the extended credit was on XX/XX/XXXX. The account went into default on XX/XX/XXXX. Which made it time-barred on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX is when they filed their lawsuit against my XXXX XXXX name. 

The original creditor sold my debt to the debt collector on XX/XX/XXXX. In the lawsuit they claimed that XX/XX/XXXX was my " Last payment made '', which was the first deceptive practice that they claimed in there lawsuit knowing very well that was false. 

In California Statue of Limitations is 4 years to be able to file a suit. They sued me 4 years, 1 month and 2 days. 

I was in and out of court for 6 months while teaching myself how to represent myself against these deceptive claims. On XX/XX/XXXX I finally was able to prove my case in court and had my motion to dismiss- Statue of limitations granted by the judge.
