XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, OH XXXX Phone : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Social Security Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Subject : Request for Goodwill Adjustment for Late Payment Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  , I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to respectfully request a goodwill adjustment regarding a late payment reported on my account for XX/XX/XXXX. 

Due to [ briefly explain the situation that caused the late payment, e.g., unexpected financial hardship, medical emergencies, etc. ], I was unable to make the payment on time. This situation was an anomaly in my payment history, as I have consistently made my payments on time since opening my account in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I value my relationship with XXXX XXXX and have taken steps to ensure that my payments are made promptly moving forward. Therefore, I kindly ask for your consideration in removing this late payment from my account as a gesture of goodwill. It would greatly help me maintain a positive credit history. 

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your positive response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Below is the letter i sent to the company and the reporting third party companies XXXX and XXXX, This letter is to inform you that COMENITYCB/FORVER21 is in violation of multiple laws set forth by Congress 15 USC 1681 in reporting information solely as to transactions or experiences payment history, charge-off status, between the consumer, which is me and the person which is COMENITYCB/FOREVER21. 

Per the FRCA as a federally protected consumer, I am now opting out of all authorization I the consumer unknowingly gave you, written, unwritten, verbal, and non-verbal per the 15USC 6802 and 16CFR 313.7 effective immediately and indefinitely to report my information to a third party, and non affiliates such as XXXX, and XXXX. That is a violation of The Privacy Act of 1974. 

Also on my report this account is reported as a charge-off in the amount of {$590.00}. Charge -offs are sold to a third party debt collector which is considered a certificate of indebtedness, according to the IRS Publication and once it is sold the debt no longer belongs to me and it is considered income. A charge off is Income and income can not be reported on a consumer report. Yet I have not received a 1099C regarding this account that your company has filed on my behalf, so I can do my taxes properly. 

Update the account as paid as agreed and send the 1099C that your company filed to the address above. 

Also there are several inconsistencies which is another violation with the dates of last activity, and the dates of when the account was opened. According to 15USC 1681, the purpose of the Fair Credit Reporting Act is to be accurate and fair and it definitely isnt either. 

Update my report with the above laws, correct this Charge-off account, and or remove it from my report. 

This company has not responded but continue to report misleading and false information I request the CFPB to investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action for their many violations of federal statutes.

I am writing to express my ongoing frustration and concern about the multiple attempts I have made to verify and remove inaccurate accounts, specifically late closed accounts and charge-offs, from my credit report. Despite my persistent efforts, these inaccuracies continue to adversely affect my creditworthiness and financial standing. I am writing this letter to bring this matter to your attention and request an immediate resolution. I am well aware of the significance of accurate credit reporting and how it influences my ability to secure loans, credit, and other financial opportunities. The presence of these inaccuracies on my credit report has caused significant financial harm, including higher interest rates and difficulties in obtaining credit. I respectfully request that your bureau takes immediate and thorough action to investigate and remove the inaccurate accounts mentioned below from my credit report. Furthermore, I urge you to provide me with a written explanation detailing the steps taken to correct these inaccuracies, along with a timeline for their removal. Clarity regarding this process is essential for me to understand when the issue will be resolved. Should these inaccuracies persist on my credit report without corrective action, I may have no choice but to explore legal remedies available under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other applicable regulations. Please assist me to removed the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - Investigate the way this account is reporting the date of last activity, account name, and opening date.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (LA)

Company was contacted about statement balances that keep showing up every month. 
On the Bank app the balances are off from the balances they are reporting on my statement. 
I have been paying my balance down to XXXX according to what the apps says I owe. 
My XXXX balance is never shown on the statement. 
Instead they/ their system delays the payments pending for days to allow a balance to show on my statement. 
On Monday XX/XX/XXXX i spoke to a supervisor that looked over the XXXX balance and assured me that he saw I had already made the payment on XXXX which brought my balance to XXXX. He told me that at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX the XXXX balance would report on my XX/XX/XXXX statement. Instead, on XX/XX/XXXX there was a new balance as if I had never paid my account down to XXXX. The company is also able to add interest to a balance. 
As a result of the delay in their system as of XXXX my account is over in payments because their system never shows the real amount you owe. 
Even tho i pay the balance down to XXXX they always post a balance. Yet my statement balance is {$120.00}. 
I've spoken to XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and several others to have this investigated. XXXX refused to escalate for an investigation. They have stated that their system delays real time payments up to 5 business days. 
I am only allowed to pay down what the system says i owe. Their system lags/delays and does not reflect what is reported on my statements. My account was paid down to XXXX XXXX This type of reporting to the credit reporting agencies has reflected my utilization and drags my credit scores.This is defamation of my character. A furnisher has a duty to report accurate complete information. This information they are reporting is iinaccurate.
