State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  has refused to provide all credit card statements for this account, which has inhibited my ability to dispute charges and late fees assessed on the account. On numerous occasions I submitted payments above the amount due and the bank refused to move the due date and the payment amount for making an advance payment. XXXX XXXX  would assess late fees even though I submitted large payments on multiple occasions in previous months, which made it very difficult to maintain a relationship with the financial institution. In addition, they would charge interest that was grossly unfair to a XXXX US Veteran. XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to report unsubstantiated ( incorrect ) amount to all three credit bureaus.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/18, My wife and I went to the Best Buy Mobile store in XXXX, FL to change our cell phone service from XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX. At that time, we agreed with the terms to buy one XXXX XXXX and get the second one free. However, we couldn't finalize our contract due to a compudter problem. We were asked by the Best Buy employees to return the next day to complete our contract. When entering the Best Buy Mobile store on XX/XX/18, we were told that both of our new XXXX XXXX 's would be free due to the computer problem from the previous day. We were also told the the store would have to eat the cost ( {$690.00} plus tax ). Of course we agreed to the new terms. For 8 months from XX/XX/18, XXXX XXXX did not bill us for phones. In fact, they gave us a discount for bringing our new XXXX to the new XXXX XXXX Plan. Then on XX/XX/18, we added our daughter to our XXXX account. The phone she added was an XXXX XXXX, and was fully paid for. As a result, XXXX determined that we were not being charged for our XXXX XXXX 's, and backed billed us {$480.00} in XXXX. Before this, we were paying {$60.00} or less for our two lines. I was a bit upset that we were to pay for phones that we were told were free by Best Buy. I called XXXX XXXX several times about this, and finally talked to XXXX corporate ( Mr. XXXX, phone # XXXX ). He told me that XXXX needed reimbursed, and since Best Buy Mobile made the mistake, that they needed to give us a credit, or that they needed to pay XXXX. Then I contracted Best Buy at XXXX about what happened. Best Buy started a file ( XXXX # XXXX ), and referred me to there supervisor XXXX XXXX. For 2 1/2 weeks we emailed numerous times. Thru our emails, she told me that Best Buy Mobile mis-coded our phones as being unlocked. It is now my understanding, that after 8 months of not paying for our phones, that we are to pay 100 % for there mistake. I don't think this is not good business practice, and is why we're asking for help. We previous submitted this same complaint to the Federal Trade Commision, but they recomemded to send our complaint to you. We told Best Buy that honest mistakes do happen, and would be willing to pay something. It seems to me, if a codeing error was made, that it would have been a simple fix. Best Buy Mobile employee are experts when it come to mobile phone, why would they just say there was a computer error, and say our phone were free. If you need any additional information, I'm available. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX, phone # XXXX
