Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

I've had my XXXX XXXX XXXX  with XXXX for 7 years and not used it in the last few years why I canceled my credit card in order to save USD XXXX annual fee. XXXX then persuaded me to keep the card because of the benefits XXXX XXXX would offer. Upon reactivation, my auto payment feature has been somehow XXXX, resulting in my USD XXXX annual fee not being paid. Since my monthly statement did not reach me either despite paperless statement ( got also XXXX ), this amount was overdue. At no time did I know that this amount was overdue. This resulted in a significant drop in my credits score. I have reported this to XXXX and also to Transunion which then reached out to XXXX. Despite all this information, my credit score has not been adjusted accordingly yet. For a XXXX who is struggling to build a credit score, this is hard to accept. I disputed on the Transunion website again, send this complaint here and won't give up before I am not treated the right way here. Thank you.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

My account with 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 AND 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 21 days before the payment due date. 

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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
