Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (VA)

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX took me to court for an Bank of America credit card debt several years ago and I explained to them I was in the process of applying for XXXX and since I was awaiting a response had no income which caused this to occur. I spoke with the Attorney after the court proceedings and supplied my XXXX paperwork and other information to him. He advised me he spoke to Bank of America and explained the circumstances and they agreed to write this off and stop collection activity yet the company has contacted me on multiple occasions since then threatening another legal action once and now again asking for me to pay them lump sum. I have called them multiple times since and explained asking for an attorney to contact me about why they are not following agreement but no one calls me back. The attempts stop for several months or longer then start again.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX  and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.
