I am being accessed several late fees from Catherines women 's apparel XXXX for a XXXX XXXX  for {$21.00} that I returned on XX/XX/2022. I have received phone calls and bills regarding late fees for this XXXX XXXX  that I returned. 

The first late fee was assessed on XX/XX/2022. And the fees and phone calls have increased. For your convenience, I have attached a copy of the billing statement in question. 

Catherines has harassed me with phone calls and bills for the past 6 months. In XXXX, I broke down and agreed to pay {$2.00} to resolve the matter. A few days later, I received a letter of resolution from Catherines. I was willing to pay them their requested {$2.00} to have matter resolved and have peace in my life. 

Last week, I began receiving collection phone calls and a bill again claiming I now owe them {$210.00}!!! 

I do not owe Catherines any money. The company is having severe financial problems, they've closed all their brick and mortar stores so they are trying to scam money off of me. 

Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything from Catherines catalog anymore! 

Please help me. I have been harassed for a non-existent " debt '' since XXXX, 2022 via phone and snail mail. Will you look into this matter?

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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 TRANSUNION 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!

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (MI)

Overview. 

Back in XX/XX/2019, we fell behind on the mortgage payments with Chase ( 3 month ). 

I used Chase ( forbearance program ) and Veteran Service to stop the sale.

The Veteran paid 2 months and We used partial payments to try to get the mortgage current. 

Current situation Chase claims we are in default again for 2 payments ( XXXX and XXXX ). 

We spoke to Chase about this issue, Dual Problem ... .. the form for the forbearance program was not received by the required date. It was mailed rather faxed. 
SO ... ... ... ... .. according to chase, they need a partial payment to release the fund they misapplied to escrow from XXXX to XXXX. Meaning the XXXX payment would be made, but XXXX would still be due ( roughly {$3000.00} TOTAL ). 

We have made full payments, plus partials from XXXX to now. Chase only credited them twice a month or when the escrow second amount equaled the second full payment. 

Essentially, we are back in the same situation that occurred in XXXX, Meaning from Chase 's perspective ... ... ... ... ... ... .Re apply for forbearance or pay double payments this month ( i.e. XXXX now ). Third option Chase offered involved using unapplied funds in escrow in conjunction with our funds to first bring it current. ( pay XXXX XXXX Then due the partial payment to pay for XXXX. This leads back to the same situation that we have already experienced.
