XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report. 

Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct the inaccurate reporting of late payments on my credit report for the account Account Number : XXXX with XXXX XXXX. 
Despite multiple requests for correction through letters dated XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, my disputes have been ignored or mishandled. This ongoing issue represents a violation of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of the information reported in consumer files. In my case, this requirement has not been fulfilled, as the same errors regarding late payments have persisted across multiple disputes.

Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate reporting of late payments on my account indicates that this requirement was not followed. 
TILA Violations The Truth in Lending Act requires accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The inaccurate reporting of late payments on my XXXX XXXX account has caused unjustified harm to my credit score and financial standing, violating these obligations. 
Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) The Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) also reinforces creditors ' responsibility to issue timely billing statements to avoid unfair penalties. The errors in my accounts late payment reporting show a failure to meet this requirement, leading to unjust consequences. 
Pattern of Inaccuracies The discrepancies in late payment reporting across all three credit bureaus show a pattern of inaccurate information. These errors are causing harm to my credit score, despite my previous disputes. The information reported by TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX is not only inconsistent but also incorrect. 
I formally request that these errors be corrected and removed from my credit report immediately. If these issues are not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint further, including filing additional complaints with regulatory agencies and pursuing legal action to protect my consumer rights.

Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report. 
Written confirmation of the correction. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: InDebted Corporation
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally challenge the validity of an account reported by Indebted, which I have never entered into a contractual agreement to pay. I have not agreed to any terms or obligations associated with this alleged debt. It appears that Indebted may have purchased this debt from a creditor, and I am requesting proof that they have the legal right to collect on it. Specifically, I ask for : Documentation showing that I am legally bound to this debt, including a contract with the original creditor bearing my signature.

A chain of custody, sales agreement, and any witness statements demonstrating the proper transfer of this debt from the original creditor to Indebted for {$890.00}. 
Without this documentation, the account lacks legal validity and should not be considered collectible. I also request that all collection activities cease immediately and that the account be removed from my credit reports pending this review. Reporting this account without proper legal validation is unlawful. 

Please note that I will not accept mere transaction records as sufficient evidence of an agreement. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this letter for help with a fraudulent activity on behalf of Navy Federal Credit Union. I cancelled a Home Equity Line of Credit with the financial institution after the processing officer came to my home with documentation with ambiguous terms. The terms were not discussed during the application process. I contacted Loan Office, XXXX XXXX and cancelled the loan on XX/XX/XXXX. I submitted the Right to Cancel form within a day of my cancellation email. I have included my cancellation email to XXXX and the Cancelation form received from the XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Also, many of the Navy Federal Credit Union employees were rude and argumentative that this action didnt happen nor could happen, if I cancelled it. It did happen. The paperwork was submitted to XXXX County Registered of Deeds were filed on XX/XX/XXXX ; Book XXXX Page XXXX. 

This fraudulent activity has been recorded with XXXX County Registered of Deeds since XXXX. The activity is not on my credit report but a lien on my residential property. This matter has caused a delay and questioned my reputation with another financial institution for another real estate transaction. I need a certificate of satisfaction from Navy Federal Credit Union sent to XXXX XXXX Registered of Deeds. It is mind bobbling that I would have to ask for a certification of satisfaction when the loan should not have been processed. 

Lastly, I have been paying higher taxes on my residential property because of Navy Federal Credit Union activity. This is causing me time and resources. I need this resolved and refund for overpayment. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
