Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Against Experian for Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting on Account XXXX Dear CFPB, I am filing this formal complaint against Experian for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the account XXXX under the creditor XXXX. Despite multiple requests for correction, dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, no changes have been made. This lack of action violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), causing undue harm to my creditworthiness. 
Details of the Reported Late Payments : Experian : Late payment reported in XX/XX/XXXX. 
Legal Violations and Evidence : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Violations : 15 U.S. Code 1681i : Credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information in consumer files. The late payment reported in XX/XX/XXXX is inaccurate and has not been corrected despite multiple disputes. 
15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) : Credit bureaus must follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum accuracy of credit report information, which has not been upheld in this case.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Violations : 15 U.S. Code 1666b : Creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate reporting of the late payment suggests noncompliance with this requirement, violating consumer rights to timely and accurate disclosures.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act emphasizes the responsibility of creditors to provide timely and accurate statements, preventing unfair penalties to consumers. The erroneous late payment on this account violates these protections.

Resolution Sought : Immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notation for XX/XX/XXXX from my credit report. 
Written confirmation from Experian that this correction has been made. 
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will escalate this matter further, including filing additional complaints with the appropriate regulatory agencies and pursuing legal action if necessary. 
I have attached copies of my previous dispute letters, the relevant sections of the law, and supporting documentation for your reference. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

XX/XX/scrub>XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Subject : Complaint Against Citibank Credit Card Account Closure and Request for Reinstatement Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Citibank regarding the closure of my credit card account without adequate warning or a chance for resolution. This closure has caused significant distress, and I am seeking your assistance in resolving this matter. 

Background Details I have been a loyal Citibank customer and have accumulated a substantial number of points on my Citi XXXX account Last Four of CC XXXX. Unfortunately, due to a series of devastating life events, including : The passing of my grandfather. 
Significant financial losses. 
The ongoing California wildfires, which have directly impacted me. 
I experienced financial hardships that led to three returned payments in the last three months. These events were unforeseen and beyond my control. Despite my long-standing relationship with Citibank, they closed my account without prior warning or offering me a chance to address the issue.

I was not aware of the returned payments until after the closure. I have since worked to stabilize my financial situation and am fully committed to ensuring no future issues arise.

Impact of the Account Closure This closure has had a profound negative impact on me : I have lost access to thousands of reward points that I had accumulated over time.

My credit score is likely affected, creating additional financial challenges.

The closure was particularly distressing given the timing and my ongoing personal struggles.

Attempts to Resolve the Issue I have repeatedly contacted Citibanks customer care to discuss this matter, but I have been unable to get a resolution. Customer service representatives have been unhelpful and unwilling to escalate my case or provide meaningful solutions.

Desired Resolution I am requesting : The reinstatement of my credit card account with the same terms and conditions.

The retention of my accumulated reward points.

Consideration of my enrollment in Citibanks financial hardship program or any similar assistance.

Supporting Documentation I am happy to provide any additional documentation to support my case, including : Proof of the financial hardships I have endured.

Details of the payments that were returned and the circumstances surrounding them.

I respectfully ask for the CFPBs assistance in resolving this matter fairly and urgently. I value my relationship with Citibank and hope to continue it under equitable circumstances. 

Thank you for your time and attention. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly at ( XXXX ) XXXX or XXXX if further information is needed. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

RE : Formal Dispute of Experians Failure to Properly Investigate Disputed Information To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal dispute regarding Experians mishandling of my prior disputes and their failure to comply with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). The CFPB 's recent lawsuit highlights systemic issues with Experians handling of consumer disputes, which are directly relevant to my experience. 
I previously disputed the following information on my Experian credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Disputed Issue : Unverifiable account Despite submitting evidence to support my dispute, Experian failed to conduct XXXX proper investigation. Specifically : 1. Sham Investigations : Experian failed to convey the full details and supporting documentation of my dispute to the data furnisher. Instead, they appear to have accepted the furnishers response without question, even though it contradicted the evidence I provided.

2. Failure to Provide Investigation Results : The response I received from Experian was vague, confusing, and did not provide specific details of their investigation or evidence supporting their decision. 
Experians actions appear to violate the following : FCRA 1681i ( a ) : Failure to conduct reasonable investigations of disputed information.

CFPA Prohibitions : Engaging in unfair acts or practices by failing to ensure accurate investigations and providing misleading or ambiguous responses to consumers.

1. Reinvestigate the Disputed Information : Conduct a proper and thorough investigation of the disputed account and provide detailed results of your findings.

2. Remove Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information : If Experian or the furnisher can not verify the disputed account with evidence, delete it from my credit report immediately.

3. Provide Investigation Details : Share all documentation you used to verify the disputed account, including records from the data furnisher.

If Experian can not provide adequate documentation or results of a legitimate investigation, I will escalate this matter further by filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and considering legal action under the FCRA and CFPA.

I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days, as required under the FCRA. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX.
