Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2024 Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting on Credit Report Dear CFPB I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments reported on my credit file maintained by Experian for my account with XXXX. These late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history. 

Nature of the Complaint : Inaccurate Reporting : The late payments listed on my credit report are inaccurate. I have consistently made my payments on time, as I have been enrolled in autopay for all my accounts, including this account. 
Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting of these late payments violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as they misrepresent my creditworthiness.

Potential Violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of false late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from misrepresentation regarding their accounts.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that the reporting practices violate the TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information.

Additionally, under the FCRA, sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files.

Articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) outline the civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, respectively, which provides for damages, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages for failure to comply with the Acts requirements. 

Summary of the XXXX account errors Incorrect Late Payments : All bureaus report a 30-day late payment, despite on-time autopay setup.

Inconsistent Account Status : Account is marked " Paid '' but shows late payments, which is contradictory.

Varying Reporting Dates : Each bureau lists a different " Last Reported '' date. 
Credit Limit Discrepancy : XXXX and Experian report a {$250.00} limit, while XXXX inaccurately shows {$0.00}. 
These errors violate FCRA standards, and corrections are needed for accurate reporting. 
Requested Resolution : I request that Experian conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the inaccurate late payments from my credit report. I ask that all such entries be updated to reflect my true payment history of 100 % on-time payments. 

I expect to receive written documentation confirming the removal of these entries within 30 days of this complaint submission. Failure to resolve this issue may lead to further action to protect my rights as a consumer. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
