Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Late Payments on Account # XXXX Dear CFPB, I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments reported on my credit file maintained by Equifax . The account in question is managed by XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ). I believe these late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history. 
Nature of the Complaint : Inaccurate Reporting : The late payments listed on my credit report are incorrect. I have consistently made my payments on time, as my records show I have been enrolled in autopay for this account since its inception. 
XXXX : Reports late payments for the following months : XXXX : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 
XXXX : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 
XXXX : Reports late payments for the following months : XXXX : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 
Equifax : Reports late payments for the following months : XXXX : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 
XXXX : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 
Discrepancies Across Bureaus : Date Opened : Discrepancies between XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and XXXXEquifax XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). 
Payment Status : Differing statuses for the same period. XXXX 's report of " Late 180 Days '' conflicts with XXXX and Equifax 's " Late 120 Days. '' Last Reported Date : XXXX and XXXX show XX/XX/XXXX, while Equifax lists XX/XX/XXXX. 
Date Last Active : Significant inconsistency between bureaus, with XXXX showing XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX showing XX/XX/XXXX, and Equifax showing XX/XX/XXXX. 
Date of Last Payment : XXXX and XXXX list XX/XX/XXXX, while Equifax lists XX/XX/XXXX. 
Violation of Federal Laws : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 require credit reporting agencies and furnishers to ensure accurate information. These inconsistencies represent a clear violation.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : Mandates accurate reporting of credit terms and payment information, which has not been upheld here.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that Equifax conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and : Remove the inaccurate late payments from my credit report. 
Correct the discrepancies in dates and payment history. 
Update the payment history to reflect my consistent on-time payments. 
I expect to receive written documentation confirming the removal of these entries within 30 days of this complaint submission. Failure to resolve this issue may lead to further action to protect my rights as a consumer.
