Complaint:
It is reported that I was 30+ days late on a Bill. On XX/XX/XXXX the company listed above charged me a fee of {$39.00}, prior to that day this account had a XXXX balance. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice from a credit monitoring service that a delinquency was reported to my credit history by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. I signed into my account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and observed that they charged me this {$39.00} fee which had a due date of XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately paid the balance. However, I never received a paper bill, an electronic bill, late notice, and/or a phone call that I had this balance with them. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX and spoke with a representative and advised that I never received any notice of this bill. The representative advised that no bill was mailed or no electronic statement was sent. The representative advised a dispute would be put in to have the delinquency removed and advised it would take up to 14 days. 
On XXXX XXXX the delinquency was still showing so I followed up with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and spoke with a representative who advise that the dispute was approved and should show removed. 

On XXXX XXXX the delinquency was still showing, so I contacted XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX again about the matter and was transferred to a supervisor. The supervisor advised that the dispute was denied. After providing all the above details to the supervisor, she advised that no notification was made because the email on file was not valid. I provided her with my email of XXXX, and she advised that email was the one they had on file. Also in the past Ive received previously from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  electronic statements. She also advised that someone attempted contacting me at XXXX ( my cellphone number ) on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX pacific time ( XXXX central time my time ). I check my phone records and did not have an incoming phone call at that time. The supervisor advised that she would put in another dispute form based on the above information. 

On XX/XX/XXXX the delinquency was still showing, I contacted XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX again. I was again transferred to a supervisor. The supervisor advised that the dispute was denied. I was instructed to mail a letter to dispute the matter. 

I am requesting an investigation into this matter and requesting that these delinquencies be removed from my credit history. Its apparent that an error occurred in regard to notify me of the bill, which I was capable of paying if aware of it, and I am paying the consequence of that error. I have never been late on any of my bills since being with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  and Im willing to take this as far as necessary to have this removed because this is a very serious matter to me.
