Complaint narrative:
YOU HAVE BROKEN THE LAW. 
I notice that you placed incorrect information in my consumer report. Any late payments are considered a transaction and experience, which is prohibited from being reported on my consumer report. Also, if you are going to report payment history, being late starts at 30 days and you have it starting at 90 days late. There are only 28-31 days in a month so how could I be current on payments one month and 90 days late the next month. 35 % of my calculated consumer score comes from Payment history and by you reporting incorrect information you are letting others know I am not creditworthy. 

Below is the law you have broken and violated my rights.
