In fear, I signed their paper and paid the fee on my discover card. After the call, my husband came home to me in tears and told me that the cc in question had already gone through collections years prior and that the statue of limitations on the in question charge was past. I immediately called the company back and tried to cancel the payment and they were unwilling to do so. I asked them for the discovery on the card and they said I would receive it in the mail. I had not received any notifications of this prior to their call ( by phone or mail ). And have yet to receive any detailed info that I asked for regarding the card and past payments. I retracted my signature to them by phone and email hours after and they have ignored every request I have made for more info. I opened a claim with the fraud department on my discover cc and they refused to refund the money as well. I was vulnerable and lied to as well as threatened in regard to paying this and they have denied giving me any information that I am entitled to regarding this 15 year old cc balance. Discover card opened a dispute but said it was not valid. I have tried working with discover as well as XXXX XXXX and nobody has helped me in this matter

My account with ( XXXX XXXX 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 ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) 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 XXXX  days before the payment due date. 


( 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 XXXX  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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
