Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (LA)

I recently looked at my credit reports and noticed that Wells Fargo Financial XXXX reported negative marks PAYS 30 DAYS late on my reports WITHOUT ever telling me they were going to report them. I believe this is incredibly unfair and had I received the federally mandated notice to me, I would have paid on time. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 623 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ) ( i ) and ( B ) ( i ), they has a  responsibility to provide a notice furnishing of negative information, in writing, to the customer and that this notice is to be given to the consumer prior to or no later than 30 days after furnishing the negative information In fact, the Federal Reserve even created a published form so that creditors can be in compliance. 
Here is the compliant verbiage : We may report information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report. 
In short, I never received such a warning notice! 
I understand that according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, failing to provide this notice can result in a penalty up to {$2500.00} and can be enforced by the FTC, and that my state attorney general can also enforce this with a {$1000.00} penalty as well. 

I attached a copy of the law and the actual document from the federal reserve

9 months later : This year XX/XX/XXXXXXXXXX/XX/XXXX I started receiving calls from a collection agency ( NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS ) stating that they were calling on the behalf of XXXX XXXX. The woman on the line stated that I owed XXXX XXXX {$90.00} in unpaid debt, I informed her that I would not speak to her regarding that matter because it could be a fraud to collect money. I contacted XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXXand was transferred to collections, after not being able to get through I left my name and phone number, and was informed that someone would call me back. After no response I called back on XX/XX/XXXX and was transferred to a voicemail again. No one EVER returned my call and the collection agency calls stopped as well. I thought it had to be a scam because I never heard from either party again. 

That is until XX/XX/XXXX a collection account from XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$90.00} was placed on my XXXX and XXXX report causing my credit score to drop drastically. I do not owe this debt, all debt was paid in full before I moved and my deposit was refunded back to me in full.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NV)

On XX/X/17, I deposited a check for {$940.00}, and a hold was placed on {$640.00} due to the fact that I had had multiple overdrafts in the last XXXX months. The held funds will be available on XX/XX/17. Unfortunately I have an automatic payment set up for my car insurance that is withdrawn on the eigth of every month, which because the funds were held, has overdrawn my account. I called the bank and spoke to a representative who stated that overdraft fees will be applied until the funds are released, and that there is nothing he or anyone at the company can do. I feel that this is unfair and dishonest. I deposited the funds into my account and there is enough to cover the overdraft, so there is no reason for me to be charged because the bank has chosen to hold my funds.
