Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Third Request to Correct Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Dear CFPB, I am filing this formal complaint against Experian for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account ( Account # XXXX ). Despite my repeated requests for correction through disputes filed on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, no changes have been made to address the inaccuracies. These unresolved issues are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Payment History Discrepancies The payment history for this account contains significant inaccuracies : XXXX reports a XXXX late payment for XX/XX/XXXX, which is incorrect. 
Experian reports a XXXX late payment for XX/XX/XXXX, which is also inaccurate. 
XXXX inaccurately reflects the account as having a XXXX late payment despite showing no late payments in the detailed two-year payment history. 
These discrepancies among the credit bureaus highlight a failure to maintain consistent and accurate reporting of my payment history. The XXXX late payments reported by XXXX and Experian are false and unsupported by any records. 
FCRA Violations 15 U.S. Code 1681i : Mandates credit reporting agencies to ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files. XXXX has failed to investigate and correct the disputed information. 
15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) : Requires credit reporting agencies to adopt reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

TILA Violations 15 U.S. Code 1666b : Creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The reporting of a late payment indicates non-compliance with this requirement. 
Impact of Inaccuracy This erroneous reporting has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and financial standing, creating barriers to obtaining credit at favorable terms. 
Previous Dispute History My first dispute regarding this issue was submitted on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, and my second dispute on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Despite providing the necessary documentation to support my claims, no changes have been made to correct this error. 
Desired XXXX XXXX removal of the inaccurate late payment notation from my credit report. 
Written confirmation of the correction. 
Attachments To assist with your investigation, I am including the following documents : A copy of my government-issued ID. 
A copy of my Social Security card. 
Copies of the dispute letters from XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. 
A highlighted copy of my credit report showing the inaccuracies. 
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider seeking legal action to protect my federally granted consumer rights. 
I expect your response to this letter within 15 days as mandated by the FCRA. Please contact me if additional information or documentation is required to complete your investigation. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
