Complaint narrative:
Dispute of Late Payment XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) Dear TransUnion Team, I am writing to formally dispute the late payment reported for my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX, account number XXXX. While this account is marked as paid and closed, I have noticed that it reflects a derogatory late payment status of 60 days. 

**Points of Dispute : ** 1. **Late Payment Accuracy** : The record indicates a late payment status, with the last reported activity dated XX/XX/year>. I believe this late payment is inaccurate based on my payment history and the account being paid in full. I respectfully request verification of the alleged late payment, including any documentation that supports this claim. 

2. **Impact on Credit Report** : This late payment adversely affects my credit score and my ability to obtain favorable credit opportunities. Given that this account is closed and paid, it is my request that any negative reporting be reconsidered.

3. **Request for Investigation** : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I request that you thoroughly investigate this matter. If you can not provide adequate verification for the late payment, please remove it from my credit report. 

Please send me written confirmation of the results of your investigation and any updates made to my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, AND XXXX were never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
