Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Against Experian for Failing to Correct Inaccurate Information on XXXX XXXX  XXXX Account Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against Experian for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the XXXX XXXX  XXXX account with the following details : Account Number : XXXX High Balance : {$4400.00} ( XXXX, Experian ) ; {$4000.00} ( XXXX XXXX Last Verified : XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) ; Not Verified ( Experian, XXXX XXXX Date of Last Activity : XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) ; XX/XX/XXXX ( Experian, XXXX XXXX Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX, Experian ) ; XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} Closed Date : XX/XX/XXXX Account Rating : Paid Account Status : Closed Payment Status : XXXX XXXX Late 30 Days Experian : Late 30 Days XXXX : Current Creditor Remarks : XXXX XXXX Canceled by credit grantor Experian : Account closed due to inactivity XXXX XXXX Closed or paid account/zero balance ; Accounts closed by credit grantor Payment Amount : {$0.00} Credit Limit : {$4000.00} Two-Year Payment History : XXXX & Experian : Reports a XXXX late payment. 
XXXX : Current with no late payments noted for the two-year history. 
Despite multiple requests for correction via letters dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, my requests have been ignored. This failure to address inaccuracies violates both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of consumer files. The inaccurate reporting of a XXXX late payment, which is inconsistent across credit bureaus, indicates negligence in adhering to this mandate. 
TILA Violations According to 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, directly impacting my creditworthiness.

Impact on Creditworthiness The inaccurate late payment notation has caused significant harm to my credit score and financial opportunities. The discrepancies between the bureaus further emphasize the need for immediate correction.

Desired Resolution I am formally requesting the following : Immediate removal of the inaccurate XXXX late payment notation from my credit report across all three credit bureaus. 
Written confirmation of the corrections. 
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint further, including potential legal action and filing additional complaints with the appropriate authorities. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a resolution within the timeframe specified under the FCRA. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
