Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX : Dispute of Incorrect and Unfair Reporting of Account Dividend Solar Finance/ Third Fifth Bank Dear Sir/Madam , I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate and unfair reporting of an account on my credit reports with XXXX and XXXX. The account in question is with Divided Solar Finance and it has not been correctly updated to reflect the payment I made on XX/XX/XXXX, which has resulted in continuous delinquent reporting on my credit report. 

As a consumer, I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). These laws have been enacted to protect consumers like myself from unfair and erroneous credit reporting practices. The inaccurate reporting by Divided Solar Finance and Third Fifth Bank, not only violates these laws but also damages my creditworthiness and financial standing. 

Here are the specific details regarding the incorrect reporting : Account Name : Divided Solar Finance Account Number : XXXX  Date of Payment : XX/XX/XXXX Late Payment Status : Incorrectly showing delinquent with XXXX late payments, open balance, over due balance I have made multiple attempts to rectify this situation by contacting Divided Solar directly and disputing the account through XXXX and XXXX. Despite their assurance that the account would be updated after 30 days, the incorrect information continues to be displayed on my credit reports. 

In accordance with FCRA Section 609, I kindly request that XXXX and XXXX investigate this matter thoroughly and remove the inaccurate information from my credit reports. The basis for my dispute lies in the following grounds : Violation of FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) : Divided Solar Finance failed to report the payment made on XX/XX/XXXX, which has resulted in an inaccurate and misleading representation of my credit history. 
Violation of FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : The continued reporting of late payments by Divided Solar Finance is unjustified and unfair, especially considering the circumstances surrounding the late payments. I explicitly requested forgiveness for the late payment in light of the Covid-19 regulations that were implemented during the relevant period. As a consumer, I am well aware of my rights and the protections afforded to me under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the CARES Act. The CARES Act, enacted by the federal government to provide relief to consumers during the Covid-19 pandemic, includes provisions concerning late payments and credit reporting.

Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( F ), creditors are required to provide accurate and complete information to credit reporting agencies. This statute imposes a duty on Divided Solar to report accurate and up-to-date information regarding my account. However, they have failed to fulfill this obligation, causing significant harm to my credit standing. 

I kindly request that XXXX and XXXX investigate this matter within the XXXX time frame stipulated by the FCRA and provide a written response with their findings. In the event that the investigation reveals the inaccuracies in the reporting, I request that the incorrect information be promptly removed from my credit reports. 

Please find enclosed copies of supporting documents, including proof of payment made to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and any correspondence related to the account. I believe this evidence will substantiate my claim and aid in the swift resolution of this matter. 

I trust that you will handle this dispute with the utmost urgency and diligence, in accordance with the laws and regulations put in place to protect consumers. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to receiving a favorable resolution. 

Thank you for your prompt assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
