Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Complaint:
Attached documents prove that Equifax is reporting incorrect status for the XXXX XXXX Bank credit card account during the month of XXXX ; multiple payments were made early/on time and any issues were addressed immediately. Attached documents prove that XXXX XXXX Bank did not go without receiving a payment for any period longer than 30 days at any point since the account 's opening. Attached documents prove that XXXX XXXX 's reporting to the bureau was incorrect, poorly investigated, and the result of technical errors within their system. Attached documents prove that XXXX XXXX violated consumer regulations in credit reporting, failed to properly investigate errors that their support supervisors identified as originating from XXXX XXXX, and improperly reported an account as late for XXXX XXXX, when documents detail payments being made early/on time for said month. Attached documents show in detail that the XXXX XXXX bank generated technical errors, initiating a series of events - all caused by XXXX XXXX - that were immediately rectified by the consumer ( myself ). Attached documents prove that payments were made to the account on time/early every month, with the month of XXXX being no exception, but the account was reported as " past due '' to credit bureaus due to their technical errors. Though there were no late payments in this case, Attached documents prove that XXXX XXXX violated regulations requiring late payments not to be reported negatively/late to credit bureaus under 30 days of past due. Attached documents prove that XXXX XXXX and myself only experienced brief windows ( hours ) in which either party was aware of issues. Attached documents prove that an error code generated by XXXX stating that my bank ( XXXX BANK ) or myself initiated returns for past month 's payments is WRONG. Said " returns '' ( documents show they were never returned to my checking ), occurring on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX caused the account to appear past due for a brief period of no more than an hour or so. Payments were immediately sent, and I was assured on recorded lines by XXXX XXXX associates that no further action was needed, and the account was current " Far from late. '' A supervisor identified the cause of the issue and explained it in detail on a recorded line ( case XXXX ), recognizing XXXX XXXX 's error. As an example, for the month of XXXX, a payment was posted in the amount of {$3000.00}, which shows as accepted/recieved on the XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I was notified that this payment was " returned. '' My checking account statements ( matching the checking on the apple card statement ) show that these transactions were never present for myself or XXXX BANK to have initiated, or received returns. Attached documents detail the situation in it's entirety. Support from XXXX XXXX was minimal ; documents were requested to prove my dispute, but I was given NO proper location to upload the documents other than via generic help chat in the apple card/wallet app. Supervisors could not/would not confirm that these documents were even posted to the case or my profile.
