XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Late Payment Reporting for XXXX  XXXX Account Dear Consumer, Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of a late payment on my XXXX  XXXX account, which I believe to be inaccurate and damaging to my credit report. This situation is in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and associated regulations, specifically 15 USC 1666 ( b ) and 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ). 

Recently, I submitted a dispute regarding the late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a thorough reinvestigation into any disputes filed by consumers. Despite my efforts, I have found that the late payment continues to appear on my credit report, adversely affecting my credit score and overall financial health. 

The failure of the credit bureau to accurately reinvestigate this matter constitutes a violation of the protection afforded to me under federal law. I have attached relevant documentation, including my dispute correspondence with both the credit bureau and XXXX XXXX, which supports my claim. 

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to ensure compliance with the law. I seek prompt action to remove this inaccurate late payment from my credit report and to restore the integrity of my credit history. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your timely response and a resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
