XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Experian XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Formal Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Information on My Credit Report Dear Experian, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report that I believe is harming my financial wellbeing. I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and request a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies, as required by federal law. 

Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against Experian for its failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, citing " sham investigations '' and other unlawful practices. These practices, as outlined by the CFPB, include : Conducting inadequate investigations that fail to address consumer disputes properly. 
Reinserting previously disputed and inaccurate information without explanation. 
Failing to notify consumers about investigation results effectively. 
These allegations highlight systemic issues that directly undermine consumer protections and perpetuate the inclusion of inaccurate information on credit reports. I am deeply concerned that my dispute may be mishandled in a similar manne

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Ive had a Best Buy credit card for about 8 years. It is currently handled by Citibank. In XXXX, XXXX, I noticed I had a " late fee. '' I have an XXXX credit score and have never been late, so I called Citibank. They stated the payment had not been made until after the first of the month, which was NOT true. I told them the payment had been made on XXXX XXXX, and they ended up reversing the fee. Then, in early XXXX, I noticed the SAME thing happened AGAIN in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I immediately called Citibank to find out what was going on. The reps, most of who were overseas, were EXTREMELY rude and told me, " Your payments were late. '' They tried to tell me they could look at their system in " real time and see I made these payments on the XXXX, XXXX, or even later. This was NOT true!! I always submit my payments on the last ( or next-to-last ) day of the month, when my paycheck goes in. I do NOT know why they are saying my payments arent being made until after the XXXX. That is 100 % incorrect. ( I didnt earn an XXXX credit score by making payments late. ) It appears to me that Citibank is saying I am making my payments after the first ( and claiming that their system captures this information ) so that they can charge late fees. My mortgage, which is also due on the first, is paid the SAME day my Best Buy credit card is paid, and it has NEVER shown late.
