Complaint:
Starting from the beginning .... I was emailed a driver contract by XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX. I signed the contract the same day and the bonus was not paid to me on time according to their own contract wording. 
Attached is bank statements showing the payment times. Also a XXXX  check is also attached thet they gave me approximately 2.5 weeks after I should have already been paid. After I cashed the XXXX  check I recieved a call from the accounting department asking me to sign another driver agreement with a updated date on it. That was them knowing they had breached their own contract. 
Upon analysis of the numbers set forth On this contract the Bonus of {$2500.00}, was Paid to me ( XXXX XXXX ) LATE, By XXXX XXXX XXXX Their bonus is to be paid in 2 halfs of {$1200.00} The first payment is to be 10 days after signing the contract. The Second payment will be Paid 90 days after the first payment to equal the total of {$2500.00}. I personally Called the Accounting department Once my first payment was not recieved on time ( within 10 days of signing ). XXXX XXXX Policy for Payment of Bonuses Is first payment is to be Paid within 10 DAYS of Signing the Contract. I personally Confirmed it on 3 different Phone calls with the accounting department at XXXX XXXX XXXX My final day of employment at XXXX  XXXX XXXX Was XXXX XXXX The Completon of my Contract would have been XXXX Leaving only 17days remaining in my contract. At a day rated amount of the breakdown of $ XXXX {$13.00} per day would Leave a total of {$230.00} that I could be held accountable for by a daily breakdown IF THE CONTRACT WAS VALID but DUE TO NOT PATING THEIR END OF THE CONTRACT ON TIME THE CONTRACT WAS VOIDED BY THEM FOR UNFULFILLMENT ON THEIR BEHALF. Also I did give a proper Notice of Leaving the company to seek better opportunities.

1. Here is the part of the contract where it says about the payment schedule of the bonus. I was to be paid within 10 days of signing the contract and was not therefore the contract was broken by the person who wrote the contract. I was paid the bonus 3 weeks after the contract was signed. Also attached is when I was given a efs check and then deposited the money into my account. And then 4 days later the deposit that included the other half of the bonus. When they didn't pay me on time... ..as per their own contract... ..they therefore voided the contract ... ... the Lockhart and Morris claim on my credit report is FRAUDULENT AND IS CONSIDERED SLANDER TO MY CREDIT PROFILE AND IS ALSO LIBLE. 
LOCKHARTMORRIS MONT - XXXX That is a crystal a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act which provides a cause of action for an individual consumer as well as penalties and liabilities for both consumer reporting agencies and furnishers of information for non-compliance as a violation of its provisions. 
As I stated before, this is my final request for you to do as you are governed by the FCRA. If this the final request does not prompt you to conduct a proper investigation of the accounts in question, I will be forced to file suit against your company in the county in which I live. That way, you can travel here in order to defend yourselves. 
I take my credit very seriously and your lack of professionalism and assistance disgusts me.
