My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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 on those accounts 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 XXXX 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! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

This credit card XXXX has supposedly been closed with each fraudulent transaction reported the last XXXX years. They state it will be closed and a new card will be sent.

And now I have spoken with their supervisor XXXX XXXX regarding all this and she informed me that the late fees I have to pay because of a fraud report was not taken care of properly. I have also closed checking and savings accounts and I have informed her that I will not pay because it is their responsibility. I still think they are covering someone in the system.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue with the application process
Company: COMMUNITY FINANCIAL SYSTEM, INC. (VT)

I apologize, but the options given in the previous pages did not exactly match my situation. 

I have a pre-existing mortgage with this bank. I decided to engage in a partial release of my property from the loan because I am engaging in a boundary line adjustment with my neighbors. I am selling a small portion of my property to my neighbors, so the bank must agree to release it from my loan. 

I submitted every single piece of paperwork the manager of the bank told me I needed to for this transaction on XXXX XXXX, 2024. The manager told me at that time the process would take 6-8 weeks. 

After several weeks of silence, I began calling the bank to speak with the manager for an update. He never returned my calls. I also emailed and received little to no response at all. Frustrated and concerned, I finally went into the bank to speak with the manager. I asked for his supervisor 's contact information and found out from her that 6.5 weeks after initially submitting my paperwork, the manager had not even submitted it to the relevant department. He gave me a bunch of excuses and behaved very unprofessionally before apologizing and promising to do better. 

The manager 's supervisor told him he had to start emailing me daily with an update and keep her copied on all correspondence. I began receiving daily emails from the manager that informed me there was no update and stating that he could not predict when I should expect to receive one. I found this type of communication further frustrating and asked to be put in contact with the department handling my paperwork. I was told that was not possible. I then asked to be put in touch with my bank manger 's supervisor 's supervisor in hopes to escalate the problem to someone who would actually do something. My bank manger 's supervisor responded with a XXXX number to the bank. I informed her that this struck me as a very smug response and said I hope that wasn't her intent. She never responded. The bank manager stopped including her on any correspondence, and I haven't heard a word from her since. 

After several months of waiting, the bank manager finally let me know that I needed to go back to my lawyer to have a minor amendment made to a document he drew up. I did this immediately and resubmitted it to my bank manager. He told me it should all be over soon. Then he got back to me on 3 more occasions saying that the same document needed further adjustments. 

I have been waiting for over 6 months for a service I was told would be complete in 6-8 weeks and there is no end in sight. I have been treated very unprofessionally and feel incredibly disrespected. I have had to beg this bank manager for updates

Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request.

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.
