Complaint:
I have made numerous attempts to reach out to XXXX XXXX  on multiple occasions : - XX/XX/2023 - XX/XX/2023 - XX/XX/2023 - XX/XX/2023 - XX/XX/2023 - XX/XX/2023 - XX/XX/2023 - XX/XX/2023 - XX/XX/2023 - XX/XX/2023 For the past 12 months, I have been in the process of constructing my home, for which I obtained financing through a different lender. Unfortunately, XXXX XXXX  has erroneously reported two business credit cards, ending in XXXX and XXXX, on my personal credit profile. This has caused significant financial harm, as I am now unable to secure my mortgage, with the closing scheduled in just 45 days. 

Here is some background information regarding the situation : I maintain multiple accounts with XXXX, both personal and business. Throughout the past year, I have noticed excessive service fees being charged to my business checking account by XXXX. I solely use this account to make credit card payments for my XXXX business credit card. 

Initially, I set up autopay for my accounts to ensure timely credit card payments. However, due to XXXX 's persistent excessive service fees, the money I deposited into my account was being deducted to cover these fees. Despite reaching out to XXXX multiple times to rectify the issue, no one seemed to comprehend why I was consistently overcharged. This cycle persisted for months, with XXXX continuing to levy excessive fees. 

Eventually, I managed to secure an in-person appointment, during which a bank representative promptly recognized the excessive charges as the root cause of the reported " late '' payments on my personal credit report. The representative refunded the excessive bank charges and acknowledged the error. However, they were unable to rectify the credit reporting issue as it fell outside their department 's purview. 

Subsequently, I contacted XXXX Credit Reporting multiple times, only to be informed that they do not consider this a banking error. Instead, they advised me to dispute the matter with the credit bureau. According to them, the investigation would reveal the excessive charges and the removal of my account from autopay, leading the credit bureau to remove the negative reporting. This conversation was recorded on XX/XX/2023 at XXXX XXXX  XXXX, and I encourage XXXX to review the call if necessary. Given that XXXX acknowledges this as their mistake, it is perplexing why they are unwilling to rectify the negative reporting directly, without requiring my involvement with the credit bureau. 

I am currently scheduled to close on the house that I have diligently saved for over the years. However, due to XXXX 's error, their subsequent acknowledgement, and their reluctance to correct the situation, my mortgage application has been declined, jeopardizing my dream of building this home.
