Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payments Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate late payment entries on my Experian credit file for my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( # XXXX ). These reported late payments do not accurately reflect my payment history and, I believe, constitute a violation of my rights under federal law. 

Nature of the Complaint : Inaccurate Reporting of Late Payments : The late payments indicated in my Experian credit report are incorrect. As I have been consistently enrolled in autopay for this account, my payment history should reflect 100 % on-time payments. 
Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccuracies on my report violate the FCRA, specifically 15 USC 1666 ( b ), which mandates accurate representation of consumer creditworthiness. Incorrectly listed late payments can have a detrimental effect on my credit score and misrepresent my reliability as a borrower.

Possible Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : False reporting of payment information may also violate the FDCPA, which protects consumers from deceptive and misleading representations related to their accounts. 
Noncompliance with the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : The inaccurate reporting of payment information further violates the TILA by failing to ensure the accuracy of reported credit information.

Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, requires credit reporting agencies and information furnishers to ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports.

Under articles 616 and 617 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ), both willful and negligent noncompliance with these accuracy standards may result in civil liability, including compensation for actual damages, attorneys fees, and potential punitive damages. 

Requested Resolution : I request an immediate and thorough investigation into these inaccuracies. I expect Experian to correct my credit file by removing all erroneous late payment entries for this account, accurately reflecting my commitment to timely payments. 

Please confirm the correction of these entries in writing within 30 days of receiving this letter. Failure to resolve this matter within the given timeframe may result in further action to enforce my rights under the FCRA and other applicable consumer protection laws.

Attachments : I am including supporting documentation to substantiate my dispute, including personal identification, account status reports, payment records, and prior correspondence related to this matter. 
Thank you for addressing this matter with the urgency it deserves. I trust Experian will uphold its responsibility to ensure the accuracy of my credit report and correct these errors swiftly. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
