These entries are incorrect and do not accurately reflect my payment history. Nature of the Complaint : 1. Inaccurate Reporting : Both XXXX and Equifax have inaccurately reported 30-day late payments for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, despite my consistent on-time payment record. 2. Discrepancies in Account Details : XXXX and Equifax have listed these late payments while reporting the account as paid and current, creating a contradiction in the reporting. 
The high balance reported by Equifax is {$250.00}, which is inconsistent with the {$2500.00} listed by XXXX and XXXX. 3.

30-Day Late Payments : Both XXXX and Equifax report XXXX late payments for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, which are inaccurate.
