re of the Complaint I am filing this complaint regarding the unauthorized and inaccurate reporting of late payments and the improper closure of my account by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX as well as the subsequent reporting of this information by Experian and XXXX. Despite sending a letter to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2024, requesting clarification and compliance with applicable laws, I have not received any response.

'' The explanation provided is vague and fails to meet the specificity requirements mandated by Regulation B of the ECOA ( 12 CFR 1002.9 ). 
No prior notice or opportunity to address alleged issues was given before the account closure, violating transparency and fairness standards under the XXXX. 

XXXX. Failure to Respond to Consumer Inquiry : On XX/XX/2024, I sent a letter to XXXX XXXXXXXX requesting : A specific reason for the account closure, including any applicable adverse action codes ( XXXX to XXXX ).

XXXX. Failure to Investigate Disputes : I filed disputes with Experian and XXXX regarding these inaccuracies, but both agencies failed to conduct a thorough investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

No corrective actions were taken despite the lack of evidence supporting the reported late payments.

Harm Caused The inaccurate reporting of late payments and the improper closure of my account have caused significant harm, including : A reduction in my credit score.

Difficulty in obtaining credit, which has impacted my financial stability.
