Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I have reviewed my consumer reports and noticed that there is a record of one late payment on an account that I have never been late on. It is the responsibility of consumer reporting agencies to report consumer information accurately. Therefore, I request you to investigate this matter and provide me with proof that these payments were late. I have attached a screenshot of the account in question, dated [ XXXX ]. If it can not be proven that the payments were late, I demand that they be updated to " paid as agreed on time '' as they should be, due to the fact that I have never made a late payment on this account. Thank you for your assistance. Please see the screenshot attached.
