Complaint:
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to read my complaint. 
First I would like it to be noted that I have already dispute this information with the company and credit reporting agencies directly neither have taken action to correct inaccurate misleading information on my credit report. 
In XXXX of this year I noticed my auto lender Credit Acceptance paused reporting to the 3 major credit agencies. Upon doing some research it was due Covid-19 in a effort to freeze account statues to limit negative impact to their customers experiencing hardships. However I never requested such a freeze and continued to make my monthly payments on time each month as I always have. The very next month XXXX of this year when they resumed reporting I got an alert on a credit monitoring site my account was 120 days past due. After seeing this I immediately new this inaccurate I've made every payment on time and have the bank records to support this fact. I disputed this information with the company and the credit reporting agencies each verified it as accurate even though I attached my bank statements for the months in question XXXX- XXXX and XXXX showing I made my payments on time. 
Finally today I decided to reach out to credit acceptance by phone they were no help and said I would have to dispute it again even though they did not corrected the first time. I asked the rep to list all the payment dates of the last year she verified I made every payment on time.. and  then proceeds to tell the delinquent payment was from the first month I opened the account back in XX/XX/XXXX? and that that's why I got the late payment in XXXX almost 5 years later. I kindly explained to her if my account was delinquent for 5 years they repo 'd the car and I would have been dinged with 30-60-90-120 late payment status a long time ago which you will see in the attached file my account has reported in good standing from the time I go this lone until the time they decided to pause reporting. You will also see the reporting is inconsistent across all 3 reporting agencies for example one of my reports shows 90 days late the next month 120 days late and then next month back down to 60 days late how is this even possible. How can a account be on time in XXXX and then 120 days past due in XXXX when 120 days have not past between periods. I am requesting they remove these misleading inaccurate late payments as it is causing me great hardship I have already been rejected from one lending opportunity because of this please help me correct this misleading information thank you. I have attached my credit report showing my good history until their reporting error as well as my bank statements showing I made my payments on time every month.
