Attempting to refresh my browser to fix a potential glitch did not remove the inaccurate accounts. Due to this problem, I request a thorough review of the documents I've provided to resolve this issue permanently.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NC)

Wells Fargo has improperly handled my escrow refund in an improper application of my payments. I have sold a property, and the amount of the refund check should have been $XXXX. Instead they sent me $XXXX. Wells Fargo removed $XXXX  from my escrow account on XX/XX/XXXX saying it was for tax payment, but then they did not send electronic payment to the tax authority until XX/XX/XXXX. By that time, the property had been sold (on XX/XX/XXXX), Wells Fargo had been paid in full for the mortgage, and the taxes had already been paid out of sales proceeds by the closing attorney as is required by law. So, when the XXXX  County tax office received the duplicate tax payment from Wells Fargo, they immediately processed a full refund to Wells Fargo which was sent to them within two weeks (please see attached documentation for address to which this refund was sent.) That refund was now sent to Wells Fargo more than 5 weeks ago, and I have talked to them multiple times about this, but they are claiming they "can't find it." Even if Wells Fargo lost these funds through their own negligence, they still owe me $XXXX  because it is not my fault that they have a systematic poor business practice regarding escrow accounts (a closing attorney has told me she has seen this happen multiple times with Wells Fargo, but that it doesn't happen with other banks.) I have made a good faith effort to resolve them with them, including speaking with at least 7 different Wells Fargo representatives in addition to calling the County of XXXX  Office of the Tax Administration twice. I have also sent written complaints to Wells Fargo two times, once through their online system, and a second time via a letter (attached). Receipt of the letter was acknowledge by the representative in a phone call they made to me on XX/XX/2019, but they still have not assured me that they will refund me the money that they owed me upon the closing of my mortgage account with them. Some documentation is attached to this complaint. I have more documentation if you need it (more phone notes, more statements, etc), so please feel welcome to contact me. Thank you for your consideration.

I am writing to urgently address the fraudulent account that has been reported on my credit file. I am a victim of identity theft, and this negative account is the result of criminal activities conducted without my knowledge or consent. It is essential that these inaccuracies be rectified immediately to prevent further harm to my credit standing. The fraudulent account in question was opened by someone close to me, who stole my personal information and used it to open account in my name. After becoming aware of this unauthorized activities, I contacted the company, who has acknowledged the situation and agreed to remove the fraudulent account from their records. 
To support my claim, I have submitted the necessary Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and I have attached a copy of this report for your reference.

My account with XXXX XXXX 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 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 XXXXXXXX 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!

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.
