This worked and a payment of {$650.00} was successfully made on XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX another XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX was attempted in an attempt to see if the issue was resolved. It has not been resolved and rejected it again. Every payment since XXXX, XXXX has been made manually through transfer to XXXX XXXX  and then transfer to the XXXX XXXX. 









The following is the letter sent via certified mail to XXXX XXXX and XXXX headquarters on XX/XX/XXXX, so all this information was accurate at the time of the letter but more calls were made after that point : ==================== START LETTER ========================== Steps taken in an attempt to make a payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 



- Over 9 hours on the phone with customer service, customer service supervisors.

- Attempted payments ranging from {$55.00} to {$900.00} on 14 separate occasions - Requested call back and filed a complaint with a service rep on 3 separate instances. Call back was never received. 

- Removed and re-entered payment information - Removed and updated billing information - Over 3 combined hours on the phone with payment bank customer service - Requested trace number to trace transaction, none provided that bank could find - Inquired about possible auto-pay directly to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX bank XXXX, was told this is not an option - Informed on 2 separate occasions a transaction dispute would be filed so it wouldnt go to my credit - Inquired about any other possible payment methods OUTSIDE OF creating another bank account, no options provided - Spoke with manager at XXXX XXXX corporate office , said a call back would occur, no callback ever occured - Requested collections statement be removed as this is a disputed transaction, informed this will not be removed - Discussed options with a licensed attorney - Filed a complaint with consumerfinance.gov - Opened a dispute with credit bureaus, they reached out to XXXX XXXX who said it was reported accurately - Sent this letter to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, and XXXX Corporate locations ======================== END LETTER XXXX XXXX have a Top Secret//SCI w/ Polygraph security clearance where my credit must be in good standing that this affects. 

I have been denied a credit card, and denied low rate refinancing, and have a high interest rate on my current auto loan due to to recent serious delinquency, to many serious delinquencies, to many serious delinquencys, whereas XXXX is my ONLY delinquency listed on my credit report. 

I have filed disputes with all credit bureaus, and XXXX twice ( currently a 3rd one is open ), every dispute has been returned that XXXX assures information was reported accurately and credit report will not be changed. 


I will be attaching the document showing my bank DID NOT decline any payments, theres no stop payment and that it was on XXXX XXXX end. 

Credit reporting IS NOT accurate if their payment system is faulty and will not accept the several attempted payments. To this day if I try a direct payment through my bank/debit card it STILL declines my payments. I must add money to XXXX XXXX, then use the XXXX XXXX to pay my XXXX XXXX  for it to work ( I wasnt told about this work around until after 2 months of the system refusing my payment ) I have included Experian and XXXX on my report because when I try to dispute with them all they do is reach out to XXXX and ask if they reported correctly. They do not even allow me to submit ANY documents or anything.
