Banks Report Late Payments for Processing Failures That Are Their Own Fault
Banks fail to process timely payments due to internal system errors, then report the resulting late payment to credit bureaus without investigating the root cause. Consumers who dispute are dismissed without evidence review. The FCRA requires accurate reporting but furnishers face little penalty for non-compliance.
