Use one of these Late Payment Letters when your credit bureau reports you as making one or more late payments on one or your accounts, and you have proof that you paid on-time.
Use these letters when you have acceptable proof of your payments. Copies of bank records, money orders, cahiers checks or any other traceable payment methods will need to be attached to these letters. When having your proof available will expedite this correction, and in most cases you will not have to duplicate this process or address it again.
