My account with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX 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 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 on my accounts 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. 


XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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.

Company: U.S. BANCORP (OH)

Dear U.S. Bank, I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the recent decision to decline my secured credit card application on the grounds of suspected fraud. 

I find this decision perplexing and unjustified, as I have provided all required documentation and have a solid credit history. Additionally, I have active checking and savings accounts with your bank that are in good standing. There have been no indications or previous issues that would warrant such concerns. This decision has caused significant inconvenience and frustration. 

I kindly request a detailed explanation of the reasons behind this decision. Furthermore, I urge you to reconsider my application, as I am confident that a thorough review will reveal no basis for the fraud suspicion. 

Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss this matter. I expect a prompt and satisfactory resolution to this issue. 
Sincerely, Application Number - XXXX XXXX XXXX

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

I am writing to formally request the immediate removal of a fraudulent account that has been incorrectly listed on my credit report. As a victim of identity theft due to the XXXX security breach, I have discovered that XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has been reported on my credit file, although this account does not belong to me. 

Despite my previous request for full debt validation from your company, I have yet to receive any documentation or verification regarding this account. As a result, I am left with no choice but to take further action. 

I am preparing to bring this matter before a judge in my local jurisdiction, as this account should not be reported on my credit file under any circumstances. To support my claim, I have attached the following documents : A copy of the police report regarding the identity theft. 

Court paperwork demonstrating the ongoing legal process. 

Please remove the account in question from my credit report within two business days of receiving this letter. Failure to do so will compel me to proceed with filing a civil suit against your company for actual damages. This false information has adversely affected my ability to obtain credit and has caused significant harm. 

Your prompt attention to this matter is not only a legal obligation but also a necessary step to correct the inaccuracies on my credit file. 

Thank you for your immediate action and cooperation. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.
