Complaint:

I have attached supporting documents to substantiate my claim. 

Below are the details of the disputed information : Account Number : XXXX Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX  Date of Late Payment : XX/XX/2022 Account Status : PAID AS AGREED Incorrect information : 30 days late reported incorrectly. 
I would like to provide a clear explanation of the circumstances surrounding this late payment : In XX/XX/2022, I encountered financial difficulties due to unforeseen circumstances because of the pandemic, I got terribly ill for 2 months I was in the hospital. In response to these difficulties, I promptly applied for a disaster extension with XXXX XXXX. This extension was granted, and the payment that was due in XX/XX/2022 was rescheduled to the end of my loan, ensuring that I would not incur any late fees or negative reporting.
