The rep told me they applied the payment to the wrong account ( the payment was applied to a XXXX account that was discharged in XXXX  ) and they would get it fixed. She stated it could take up to 45 days. I then called another month later, because I received a letter stating the payment was applied to the correct account and that was it. I spoke to another rep that stated the person prior did not word the investigation properly, on XX/XX/XXXX she opened another investigation asking that the investigator listen to my call and see that the agreement was to settle the debt for less.

My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with 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!
