Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
Late Payment Removals " a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an OPEN end consumer credit plan as a late for any purpose, UNLESS the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer 21 days before the payment due date. '' CFPB I recently reviewed my consumer report and I noticed that there were XXXX late payments on my account with XXXX that I haven't been late for XXXX days. In addition to that, I have also noticed that several of my consumer rights have been violated in the midst of these late payments being added to my credit report. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as outlined in 15 USC 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are responsible for providing maximum accuracy when reporting consumer information, however my consumer report has several inaccuracies that I have attached below. In addition to that late payments are considered transactions due to the late fees that are associated with credit cards & according to 15 U.S. Code 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) consumer reports should not include information pertaining to any transactions or experiences between the consumer and the originator of the report. If this is the case, late payments that I am not responsible for should definitely not be reported on my consumer report! I am aware of several other consumer rights that have been violated and I am prepared to settle for civil liability damages that I have suffered as a result of your violations. Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that these payments were late. If proof can not be provided, I ask that any late payments associated with XXXX for the month XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, be updated to paid as agreed on time or DELETED. Thank You! Your cooperation in this matter is crucial to ensure the accuracy of my credit report and to safeguard my rights as a consumer under the FCRA. I appreciate your prompt attention to this dispute and look forward to a resolution in a timely manner.
