My account with the company and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 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!

This company never sent The periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NJ)

XXXX  My Mortgage was refinanced by Wells Fargo Home Mortgage five years ago.
XXXX.  I make my payments at the bank branch which was opened close to my home.
XXXX  The bank receives the payment but sometimes the payments are not applied immediately to my mortgage account.  
XXXX  My bank on which my check is drawn pays Wells Fargo Home Mortgage the check on the same day that it is presented.
XXXX  Although the Mortgage Note states that I can pay by the XXXX of the month without incurring late charges, I have multiple late charges posted to my account;  even though I have made only XXXX late payment.
 XXXX.  One month I could not make payment at the regular scheduled time.  Payment was made XXXX of that month.
XXXX  I have asked Wells Fargo Home Mortgage to waive the late charges that were caused due to their banking system's posting of my payments.
XXXX.  I have through several telephone calls requested that the late fees be waived.
I want to also state that the paper on which Wells Fargo Bank prints its receipt for payments received is either light or heat sensitive because after time has elapsed, the ink fades.  This affects how the customer can validate the statement which shows the bank being in receipt of the funds, but said funds not posted to the mortgage account.  Hence incurring late fees unnecessarily.

I discovered I had been a victim of identity fraud. Someone used my personal information and opened several fraudulent accounts. It appears they also fraudulently attempted to file a bankruptcy petition to cover up the identity fraud. I contacted Trans Union about the incorrect information showing only on my Trans Union credit report which showed I had filed a bankruptcy in 2018. I asked Trans Union to provide me with the company that provided them with the incorrect bankruptcy information. Trans Union refused to provide the information. The incorrect bankruptcy information only appears on my Trans Union credit report. Every time I contact Trans Union to correct the information and delete the public record of bankruptcy they only state that was the information supplied to them by another company and they refused to investigate and delete the incorrect information. I have never filed bankruptcy!!!

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent.
