Complaint:
Hi, I recently took an Auto loan from a bank. 

For few months everything was fine and my credit score was excellent. 

This month it went down by 115 points, I spoke to credit company and they said my account is reported as credit not a loan. 

This increased my credit usage for no reason. 

Since its the bank problem I called their credit department to rectify their error but it was very unprofessional. They asked me to go through very lengthy process to fix their mistake now. 

My credit will show bad until I write them letter and they receive take action etc.. I needed to apply a mortgage soon. 

This very bad handling of customer image when bank is at mistake. Why should customer suffer for the bank error.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: WA
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: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
I have sent the letter below to Carrington mortgage explaining the situation, after learning that they had reported a 30-day late payment on my credit report. This was not the case, I tried explaining the situation to their credit department and they only repeated the letter I sent them and stated that no matter what the payment was late. This is not at all a satisfactory answer and it just seems that Carrington mortgage is not making an effort to make the situation right.

This letter is to explain the circumstances regarding the 30-day late payment that was reported on my credit report. I called Carrington Mortgage Services on XX/XX/2019, to find out how to pay online. 
This was after I had tried paying my mortgage multiple times on the Carrington online portal. The system kept giving me an error which mentioned the routing number I was providing was not valid. After I had been on hold for several minutes, a Carrington representative came on the line. I had to explain my problem to him and even tried to perform the same process while on the phone, I was also unsuccessful. He then asked me for my banking information so he can make the payment on my behalf. After giving him all my information, we were both under the impression that the payment was successfully made. 
On XX/XX/2019. I received a letter from Carrington advising me that the payment which Carrington customer service representative made, was returned due to payment account not found. That same moment I logged in on my phone and resubmitted the payment and unbeknownst to me the system used the same bank information that was captured when the Carrington representative made the first payment. This payment also was returned due to the payment account not found. 
On XX/XX/2019. I received a call from a Carrington collections representative asking to pay my mortgage payment for XXXX and XXXX. This is when she advised me that the second attempt for payment on XX/XX/2019 was not successful. I explained the situation, she agreed to refund the late fee penalty and advised me on writing this letter to explain my situation. I also asked her if the calls were recorded and she confirmed that Carrington in fact does record calls. These calls can always be used to collaborate with my explanation. 
In conclusion, I believe that this was a mistake when entering the bank information. I respectfully ask that this matter is resolved by removing this late payment off my credit report with all three bureaus. I have never had a mortgage late payment on my credit report or with Carrington for that matter. This truly impacts my consumer credit report and other financial aspects of my life.
