To Whom It May Concern

Thank you for your time. I'm reaching out because I've noticed that my credit report contains a late payment. This payment is reported on my [account numer] on the [date]. 

I want to clarify that I'm aware of my financial commitments, and if it weren't for [describe the event that prevented you from making a payment on time], I would have a stellar repayment history.

Sincerely, [Your name]
