Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report. 

Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the account XXXX with XXXX  XXXX. 
Despite multiple requests for correction ( letters dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ), my requests have been ignored, which is in violation of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ).

FCRA Violations According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate late payment reporting on my account suggests a failure to comply with this requirement. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files, which has not been upheld in my case.

TILA Violations The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) emphasizes the necessity for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The incorrect reporting of late payments has caused undue harm to my creditworthiness and credit score, thereby violating my consumer rights under TILA.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) This act further reinforces the responsibility of creditors to provide timely statements, ensuring that consumers are not unfairly penalized. The discrepancies in the reporting of my payment history suggest that this obligation was not met by the creditor, leading to significant harm to my credit standing. 
Evidence of Errors in Payment Reporting For the account with XXXX  XXXX, the following discrepancies have been observed across the credit bureaus : TransUnion : The account incorrectly reports XXXX XXXX late payments in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, even though payments were made on time. 
Pattern of Inaccuracies The continued incorrect reporting of late payments across TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX reflects a pattern of inaccuracies. These late payments have been falsely reported despite my payments being made on time and my account being in good standing.

Request for Immediate Correction I am formally requesting that these inaccuracies be corrected and that the incorrect late payment notations be removed from my credit report. The information should be updated to accurately reflect my payment history, which has been on-time. If this issue is not resolved within 30 days, I will escalate my complaint further, including legal action and filing additional complaints with relevant regulatory agencies to protect my consumer rights.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the removal of these inaccurate entries. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
