XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, TX XXXX Subject : Formal FCRA Dispute Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Central Loan Admin & Reporting # XXXX Dear Transunion/Experian/Equifax Compliance Department : I am exercising my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. to dispute the late payment notations reported on my credit file for the above-referenced mortgage account.

The account is being reported with 530-day, 660-day, and 490+ day lates ( including over-120-day lates ). This is factually inaccurate. I have never been late paying this account, and my own payment records prove these entries are false.

Late Payment Counts ( 30/60/90+ ) : TransUnion : 5 / 6 / 4 Equifax : 5 / 6 / 4 Experian : 5 / 6 / 4 ( All inaccurate I have never been late ) 3. Months Reviewed : TransUnion : 28 months Equifax : 28 months Experian : 29 months 4.On-Time Payment Percentages : TransUnion : 46 % Equifax : 38 % Experian : 40 % ( All false should reflect 100 % on-time ) Legal Basis for Dispute FCRA 1681e ( b ) Credit reporting agencies must assure maximum possible accuracy in credit reporting.

Dennis v. BEH-1, LLC, 520 F.3d 1066 ( 9th Cir. 2008 ) Inconsistent credit data is inaccurate under the FCRA.
