Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Third Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Late Payments Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against your agency for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for one of my accounts. Despite multiple requests for correction, including letters dated XXXX and XXXX, my requests have been ignored, violating both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Disputed Information : Late payment notations remain inaccurately reported despite my payment history showing all payments were made on time. Specifically, your records inaccurately report the following : 30-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX. 
60-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX. 
These inaccuracies are reflected in the reports from both XXXX and Experian, while XXXX fails to report this account entirely. The remarks in your records indicate " Account was in dispute- now resolved - reported by subscriber, '' yet the errors remain uncorrected. 
Violations Identified : FCRA Violations : 15 U.S. Code 1681i : Requires credit reporting agencies to ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files. This has not been upheld in my case.

15 U.S. Code 1666b : Creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate late payment reporting suggests a failure to comply with this requirement. 
TILA Violations : The Truth in Lending Act emphasizes the necessity for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The inaccurate reporting of late payments has caused undue harm to my creditworthiness. 
PAANL Violations : Under the Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ), creditors are obligated to provide timely statements to prevent unfair penalties to consumers. This responsibility has not been met, as evidenced by the inaccurate reporting.

Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of all inaccurate late payment notations from my credit report. 
Written confirmation of the correction made to my credit file. 
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint further, including filing additional complaints with relevant regulatory agencies and pursuing potential legal action. 
Attachments : To assist with your investigation, I have included : Copy of my Social Security Number. 
Copy of government-issued ID. 
Proof of address. 
Highlighted credit report indicating the inaccuracies. 
I kindly request that you provide a detailed description of the investigation process and the evidence used to validate the late payments within 15 days, as required by the FCRA. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving a resolution and confirmation of corrections within the timeframe mandated by law. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
