My attorney is very excited at the possible outcome of this case because theyve already sued you & won tens of thousands in damages. I personally dont want to pursue this method because this matter is such a simple remedy. But do not take my kindness as weakness. The costs will be extreme for you.

This is really detrimental to my overall well-being, I keep seeing inaccurate information on my credit report which is causing me immense stress. I thought the economy was bad, but after looking at my credit report it is clear which is way worse. I want to uphold my rights as a consumer, it is so depressing that I have to go through all this and I wouldnt even be able to afford a psychiatrist for that because my cards will just get declined due to my credit score being low with all these wrong information.

My account with XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX & XXXXXXXX XXXX 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 in 60 days to be removed.

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.

It shows Transunion and XXXX scores dropped XX/XX/XXXX from a XXXX dispute with XXXX XXXX. When XXXX XXXX took over our mortgage we were not made aware. Our payments continued to try and route to XXXX XXXX, after numerous attempts to contact XXXX XXXX  to set up a bank draft ( hours/days of waiting and dealing with voice prompts ) we finally spoke with a supervisor to set up our account for auto draft and to date, everything has been copacetic. When XXXX XXXX  bought our mortgage it was a difficult transition with very little transparency and communication with us. Now, it reflects on our credit report for something we had little control over. We have always set up an auto draft to keep our credit scores in good standing and now it has fallen because of a companies lack of communication.
