Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Request for Investigation and Validation of Late Payment To : Credit Reporting Agency Experian Equifax Transunion Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau : Re Experian, TransUnion, or Equifax Credit Bureaus I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the late payment being reported on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account in my credit report. It is my understanding that 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) requires credit reporting agencies to ensure maximum possible accuracy when reporting consumer information. As this late payment is currently being furnished, I am requesting that you conduct a thorough investigation into its accuracy. 

To substantiate this late payment, the following documentation is required : Proof of the Periodic Statement : According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, a creditor can not classify a payment as late unless a periodic statement is sent in compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1637b. I request verification that this statement was sent, including a copy of the periodic statement showing the payment due date. 
Proof of Timely Delivery : 15 U.S.C. 1666b also requires that the periodic statement be sent no later than 21 days before the payment due date. Please provide proof that the statement was mailed on time, including a tracking number or other confirmation of mailing. 
Negative Information Notice : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ), the creditor must provide written notice to the consumer before reporting any negative information, such as a late payment. I request evidence that this negative information notice was sent to me. 
Request for Resolution : If your investigation reveals that this late payment can not be verified through the required documentation, I request that the late payment be removed from my credit report, as mandated by 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ). 

Failure to provide the necessary evidence within the legally required XXXX investigation period will confirm that the reported late payment is inaccurate, and I will expect its immediate deletion to comply with federal law. 

For verification purposes, I am attaching a copy of my identification and a recent utility bill. Please note that any attempt to delay this process or send non-responsive or generic stall tactics will result in an immediate complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

I have XXXX valid addresses and need both to be recognized in their records, with the attached supporting documents as proof. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your resolution of this dispute. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2025 Subject : Formal Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Information on My Credit Report I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report that I believe is harming my financial well-being. 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 XXXX 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 manner.

Please review the Inaccurate Information being report : Under the FCRA, you are required to : Conduct a proper investigation into my dispute. 
Inform me of the results of your investigation in a clear and comprehensible manner. 
Provide me with any documentation you rely on if the disputed information is verified as accurate. 
Ensure that inaccurate or unverifiable information is corrected or removed from my credit report promptly. 
If the investigation concludes that the information can not be verified or remains inaccurate, I request the immediate removal or correction of this information from my credit report. 
Furthermore, I request written confirmation of the actions you take in response to this dispute. If you fail to resolve this matter, I reserve the right to escalate the issue with the CFPB and other appropriate agencies. 
Thank you for addressing this matter promptly. I look forward to your response within the legally mandated 30-day timeframe.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft. I submitted my initial dispute XXXX XXXX, XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Violations of the FCRA 1.Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items.

2.Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within 30 days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated.

3.Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case. 

Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers. 

XXXX v. TransUnion LLC ( XXXX ) : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA. 


Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1.Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft.

2.Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed.

3.Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft.

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.
