My accounts 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 to be removed/updated.

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!

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.

I'm frustrated by the lack of change despite my repeated attempts to dispute this issue. It seems to me that your company doesn't prioritize consumer concerns. This situation has not only harmed me but has also significantly limited my opportunities and closed many doors. I hope you can understand the helplessness I feel knowing that these issues are affecting my credit report without proper verification or accuracy.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: TFC Credit Corporation of California (SC)

This is not a loan although they call it that. I never received any money. TFC collects tuition installment payments for education providers. 

In my case, in XX/XX/ 2022 I contracted with XXXX XXXX XXXX, the sole proprietor of a business that provided specific vocational training in a four-month program, to pay her installment amounts for the program which was to begin on XX/XX/, 2022. Unfortunately, she died unexpectedly on XX/XX/, 2022, before the program began. It was announced by her husband on the program 's XXXX group and that he had immediately closed her school. 

Her death nullified the contract not only with me but with TFC, a fact about which they are puzzlingly indifferent. They did not know she had died and instead of using their contact information for her to find out if she was deceased wanted me to provide a death certificate. I do not have legal standing in Georgia to request her death certificate. That is reserved for family members and family attorneys. I sent screenshots of her obituary and the husband 's XXXX postings. In any event, the burden of proof is not on me. I and the other XXXX  have sustained the damages in this case yet TFC continues to attempt to collect tuition payments for classes I never received. They even phoned in violation of federal law after I requested all communication to be in writing for legal reasons. 

Fearing for my credit rating, in the months after the death I made payments assuming the husband would rectify and settle with the XXXX XXXXeft in the lurch. He never did. 

I had the barest of contact with XXXX XXXX XXXX before her death. This was a very brief business relationship. I am trying to find contact information for her husband to go to small claims court to recoup my money. I am the one who is owed money in this case.
