Dear Sir or Madam:
Under section 611(b) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am requesting the following consumer statement be inserted in my credit report exactly as I have written it:
"I dispute the fairness of the late payments being reported on the [name of creditor] account. These late payments are the fault of [name of creditor] that habitually mails my monthly statement to me after the date payment is due, if it bothers to mail me a statement at all. Because I do not receive my billing statement in time and sometimes not at all, I have had no choice but to make payment after the due date. For this reason, there are numerous late pays associated with this account that are no fault of mine."
Please send me an updated copy of my credit report once the above statement has been added to my credit report. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Your Name
