Complaint narrative:
I am requesting the permanent removal of the inaccurate late payment reported by XXXX XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) from my Equifax credit report. This late mark was reported without any prior notice or opportunity for me to resolve the issue, which violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Specifically, I request that : Equifax reinvestigate this dispute in compliance with FCRA 1681i ( a ). 

XXXX  XXXX be required to provide documented proof that I was properly notified before reporting the late payment ( such as emails, letters, or billing statements ). 

If such documentation can not be provided, the late payment must be permanently deleted from my credit report. 

I receive written confirmation of the deletion and an updated copy of my credit file within 15 business days.

If these terms are not met, I will proceed with additional complaints to the FTC, state Attorney General, and pursue legal remedies under FCRA 616 for damages.

This resolution is fair, legal, and in line with the rights afforded to me as a consumer.
