Each month, I pay my XXXX card in FULL regardless of the balance. Last month, XX/XX/2021, I checked my credit card balance on both XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, the date my balance is due each month, my online XXXX account showed I owed {$1900.00}, so I processed a payment. My closing date is on the XXXX of each month, so on XX/XX/XXXX, before XXXX, I checked my account one last time and it showed I I now had a balance of {$700.00}, so I processed the payment early in the day before the cut off time via the " current balance '' payment feature. XXXX only allows you to pay the balance that's reflected on your account ; you're prohibited from paying more than that or else you'll be left with a credit. The " current balance '' option allows you to pay the full amount XXXX states you owe. 

This past week, while reviewing my credit card details on XXXX XXXX, I noticed that XXXX had reported to the credit bureau that I had a balance in the amount of {$290.00} in XXXX, which was never reflected on my account prior to my statement closing date. As I said before, I'm very on top of my XXXX credit card and student loan payments and have never made so much as a late payment in the nearly 12 years since I first opened my accounts. 

XXXX isn't accurately reporting my balance to me/updating my account in a timely fashion. This is the second time that this has happened. If you review my previous conversation with a XXXX rep via the chat function a few months back, the rep admitted that XXXX reported the wrong balance to the credit bureaus earlier this year -- I believe it was XXXX -- although I had a balance of {$0.00}. She stated I'd have to reach out to the bureaus to have this fixed. 

Furthermore, the payments I made in XXXX XXXX are very specific. You can clearly tell that the {$1900.00} and {$700.00} are the amounts that XXXX had listed on my account both days because they're not whole balances. For instance, instead of {$1900.00}, why wouldnt I just put {$1900.00} if these were balances I came up with on my own? Instead of {$700.00}, wouldn't I just process a payment for {$700.00}? It doesn't make sense that I'd come up with XXXX very specific amounts unless they were provided to me by XXXX. Furthermore, I'm only allowed to pay the balances XXXX provides to me ; they don't allow me to pay over that or else I'll be at a negative balance on my account. The {$290.00} was never listed or else it would've been included in the {$700.00} when I made the payments on the XXXX and XXXX. 

This has caused me a lot of frustration and anger ; XXXX 's supervisors are no help. This is the XXXX time within a year that they have made this mistake and affected my XXXX XXXX. Furthermore, I was charged interest for a balance that wasn't even reflected by the due date or statement closing date, thus, not allowing me to process a payment to cover the {$290.00}. 

I would like this removed from my credit report and the interest to be reimbursed. I will pursue this further if this isn't resolved.
