Complaint:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint against these agencies a late payment on my credit card account. THe following accounts is listed below XXXX. XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Date opened : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXXXXXX Account number : XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XXXX Account number : XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XXXX Account number : XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XXXX Of XXXX Account number : XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX According to XXXX5 U.S. Code 1666b, a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account as late unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement, including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of the title, is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

In this case, I believe that XXXX XXXX did not comply with the regulations outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1666b, as my payment was treated as late despite being made within the required timeframe.

I am requesting that the Bureau investigates this matter and takes appropriate action to rectify the situation, including removing the late payment from my credit report and ensuring that XXXX XXXX is in compliance with the regulations set forth in 15 U.S. Code 1666b. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
THIS IS NOT IN LITIGATION!!! 

I am writing to dispute the credit reporting practices of XXXX XXXX concerning my XXXX XXXX Master Card account ( Account Number : XXXX ). This letter serves as a formal complaint of multiple legal violations and a demand for corrective action. Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Inaccurate Reporting ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ) ) : XXXXXXXX XXXX  has failed to report accurate information regarding the status and balance of my account. The account, reported as a " Charge off / profit and loss write off '' with a balance of {$1700.00} and past due amount of {$440.00}, contradicts the legal requirements for charged-off accounts. Failure to Conduct Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ) : Despite my repeated requests, XXXX XXXX has not conducted a reasonable investigation into the disputed information, as mandated by the FCRA. Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : Misrepresentation of Debt ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ) : Attempting to collect a debt that has been written off for tax purposes, without issuing a 1099C form, constitutes a misrepresentation of the character and legal status of the debt. Case Law Precedent : Gugger v. USAA Fed. Sav. Bank : This case establishes that reporting a balance on a charged-off account is misleading and inaccurate. Demand for Statutory Damages : Under the FCRA, I am entitled to statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} for each violation by XXXXXXXX XXXX. The continued reporting of inaccurate information and failure to conduct a reasonable investigation constitute separate violations for which I seek compensation. Reporting to the IRS : I will be reporting XXXXXXXX XXXX to the Internal Revenue Service for attempting to collect a debt that has been written off for tax purposes, in violation of federal tax laws.

XX/XX/23 {$1.00} taken from account. 
XX/XX/23 {$1.00} taken from account.

They began calling the house 16 or more times a day! Telling us our account was delinquent! Which we were well aware of!

We spoke to XXXX lawyers! No one knew how to help us! So we began looking for help elsewhere! Eventually, our XXXX Lawyer was able to help us! He put a restraining order against Wells Fargo, so they were not able to foreclose on us! As they were still trying to foreclose! We spend almost {$40000.00} out of pocket to our Lawyer to fix the problem! Because Wells Fargo refused to work with us! We lost hair and sleep for almost 10 years!
