To whom it may concern, I'm just mailing you to let you know, respectfully, that you are incorrectly reporting some information on my credit report. I'm pretty frustrating to be honest, but I know that mistakes happen. I trust you'll fix the situation.

Here 's the wrong info : 1. This is a billing error always paid as agreed on time this is an error this account in violation. 
NAVY FCU Account Number : XXXX Please remove it from my credit report. 

I keep immaculate records of payment history acrossed all my bills and accounts, and there should be no late payments showing here. 

Inaccurate late payments like this are preventing me from obtaining credit that I'm trying to apply for because it's lowering my credit score big time. I've already been in talks with some experts who have informed me that there are laws to ensure that inaccurate credit information can't be reported. 

I take this very seriously and I would appreciate it if you remove the late payment marks off this account as soon as possible.

I filed for unemployment on XX/XX/2020. At that time I chose to receive a debit card for my disbursements. I never received the way to go card in the mail. When I called the XXXX to check my account, it says I have a positive balance of XXXX. Since I had not received the card in the mail, I changed my disbursements to direct deposit. I now receive my weekly allotments in my checking account. However that XXXX is still in my XXXX account. I have tried to contact WAY to GO numerous times to notify them that I never got a card, however the automated system will not allow me to get past inputting a pin number. I do not have a pin because I never received a card. You must have a card to create a pin. There is no number option for my particular dilemma, and I have been unable to speak with a live person. The XXXX says they can not transfer the funds to my checking because they have already been issued to a card. Please advise.

American Express discriminated against me in the application process. Amex does not use equal standards and requirements as required by law in deciding whether to extend credit. Amex uses prohibited criteria in the extension of credit and does not apply the same standards across the board for all applications. Amex decides on what requirements to apply to different individuals based on age, sex, race, religion or other prohibited criteria. Many other people have the same type of complaints against American Express.
