Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint for Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments reported on my credit file maintained by Experian. These entries do not reflect my true payment history and misrepresent my creditworthiness. 
Nature of the Complaint : Inaccurate Reporting : The late payments listed on my credit report for my XXXX XXXX account ( # XXXX ) are inaccurate. I have been consistently enrolled in autopay and have made my payments on time. 
Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting violates the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), which mandates accurate and fair reporting of consumer credit information. 
Potential Violation of Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : Reporting false late payments may also violate the FDCPA, protecting consumers from account misrepresentation.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that these reporting practices violate TILA provisions requiring accuracy in reporting credit information.

The FCRA, specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate information and ensure the accuracy of consumer file information. Furthermore, the FCRA articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) provide for civil liability for willful or negligent noncompliance, including damages for failure to adhere to Act requirements. 
Requested Resolution : I request that Experian conduct a thorough investigation and remove the inaccurate late payments from my credit report. I ask that these entries reflect my true record of on-time payments. I expect written confirmation of the removal of these entries within 30 days of this complaint. 
Summary of Errors and Discrepancies in Account Reporting The following discrepancies have been identified in the reporting of 30-day late payments for my XXXX XXXX account across the three credit bureaus. These reported late payments are inaccurate, as I have consistently made on-time payments due to enrollment in autopay. 
Equifax : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Experian : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  late payments inaccurately reported for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
These discrepancies violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as they misrepresent my payment history and creditworthiness. I am requesting that each bureau correct these inaccuracies and update my account to reflect my actual, on-time payment history. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
