Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting on XXXX XXXX Account Dear CFPB, I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments reported on my credit file maintained by Experian. I believe these late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history, as I have been enrolled in autopay for all my accounts to ensure timely payments. 
Nature of the Complaint : Inaccurate Reporting : The late payments listed on my credit report are inaccurate. Specifically, Experian reports a XXXX late payment for XX/XX/year> on my XXXX XXXX account. My payment records confirm a consistent history of on-time payments due to my autopay enrollment, and I have not missed any payment obligations. 
Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting of these late payments violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as they misrepresent my creditworthiness. 
Potential Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of false late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from misrepresentation regarding their accounts. 
Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that these reporting practices violate TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information. 
Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files. 
Articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) also outline civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages for failure to comply. 
Requested Resolution : I request that Experian conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the inaccurate late payments from my credit report. I ask that my account be updated to reflect my true payment history of XXXX  % on-time payments. 
Payment History : This account history reflects a consistent record of timely payments. However, XXXX report erroneously lists XXXX late entries for XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>. Additional XXXX late entries are also incorrectly reported for XX/XX/year> with both Experian and XXXX. My autopay setup ensures on-time payments for all accounts, and my records substantiate a perfect history of timely payments. 
Attachments : A copy of my government-issued ID Social Security verification My latest account statement from XXXX XXXX XXXX payment status I expect to receive written confirmation of the removal of this erroneous late payment entry within XXXX  days of this complaint submission. Failure to resolve this issue may lead to further action to protect my rights as a consumer. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
