Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to seek your assistance regarding unresolved errors on my credit report that have negatively impacted my financial standing. Despite my repeated attempts to rectify these issues with the credit bureau, the errors remain on my credit report and they are greatly damaging my credit score. 

The payment history of XXXX XXXX credit card account XXXX erroneously shows a 60-day and a 90-day late payment from XXXX to XXXX on XXXX. I have always make payments on time. This is an apparent reporting error not only because I made payments on time but the data show does not make sense. There's no 30 days late payment on XXXX of XXXX, how can it be 60 days late on XXXX of XXXX? 

I have sent numerous letters to the credit bureau to correct these mistakes, requesting for investigation into this matter and have them removed from my credit history. Unfortunately, I have not received any communication from the bureau regarding the status of their investigation or any steps taken to rectify these inaccuracies. 

This lack of response and action from the credit bureau has left me feeling that my consumer rights are being neglected. Under the law, I am entitled to an accurate representation of my credit history. Therefore, I am reaching out to the CFPB to intervene and ensure a thorough investigation is conducted into these errors. I am seeking your help to have these inaccuracies removed from my credit report promptly. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your support in resolving this issue. Please find attached all the documents for reference. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Company: Prosper Marketplace, Inc.
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
Prosper Credit Card I got a little behind on my payments and incurred a late fee which put me over the limit and so I got an over the limit fee. Even though I made payments on my due dates they were not enough to cover the insanely high fees they started tacking on which drove my minimum due way up to a third of the balance and also drives the interest up to an unmanageable amount. So I canceled the card to get the balance paid down. They took away any access to my account online or in app so I have no real time monitoring of my account and what fees are being charged and I can not make payments. Every time I have to call and get transferred and its at least a half hour process every time. This month their department that can take my payment was apparently closed on my due date. Although they were open as someone took my call but they were just unable, I was told, to take a payment from me. So I get another late payment fee added. Its shady and wrong that not only do they keep adding insanely high fees and take away account access, but they make it difficult to make a payment and frequent payments as I get money so I can pay down my debt. I feel its shady, wrong, deceitful and predatory practices by a company taking advantage of its consumers. I now owe a third of my original balance just in fees and making a payment is very difficult.
