Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting for XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Dear CFPB, I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments reported on my credit file maintained by Equifax for my XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX account. These late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history. 
Nature of the Complaint : Inaccurate Reporting : The reported late payments are incorrect, as I have consistently paid on time or had an alternative agreement.

Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Reporting inaccuracies misrepresent my creditworthiness, violating my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ).

Potential Violation of Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : False reporting of late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : These reporting errors breach the TILA 's requirements for accurate credit reporting. 
Under the FCRA, sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 1681s-2 mandate that credit reporting agencies and furnishers ensure the accuracy of information. Articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) outline liability for noncompliance. 
Summary of Errors and Discrepancies Across All Bureaus : Late Payments : XXXX : Reports late payments, including 30 days late in XXXX, 60 days late in XXXX, and XXXX days late from XXXX to XXXX, which are inaccurate. 
XXXX : Similar late payment errors as XXXX, with reports of XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX day late payments during the same timeframe. 
Equifax : Reports late payments, including 30 days late in XXXX, 60 days late in XXXX, and XXXX days late from XXXX to XXXX, which are incorrect. 
Discrepancies in Reporting Details : Account Status : All three bureaus report the account as closed, but only XXXX provides a closing date ( XX/XX/XXXX ), while XXXX and Equifax omit this information. 
Balance Owed : Consistent across bureaus at {$1100.00}. 
Payment History : XXXX and XXXX show errors starting in XXXX, while Equifax begins reporting errors in XXXX. 
Requested Resolution I request Equifax to conduct a thorough investigation and correct these inaccuracies by removing all erroneous late payments from my credit report. Specifically : Remove reported late payments for XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. 
Update the account to reflect accurate, on-time payments for all disputed months. 
I expect written confirmation of these corrections within 30 days of this letter. Failure to resolve this issue may result in further actions to protect my rights as a consumer under the FCRA.

Attachments Provided : For this dispute, we have included the following documents : A copy of the clients government-issued ID.

A copy of the clients Social Security Number. 
Bank statements showing proof of timely payments during the disputed months. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
