Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 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 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

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (OH)

On XXXX I recieved a letter from Bank of America stating that I had a returned payment or check in the amount of {$50.00} and they charged me {$50.00} for a returned check fee.. I immediately checked my checking account and there was Thousands in that account and I have overdraft protection as well. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX and wanted to know why this wasn't processed and they said they had no such charge or returned check in my account ever. I called Bank of American and was put on hold for over 40 minutes the first round and finally spoke with someone and they said I had to pay the {$50.00} returned check fee because the payment wasn't processed. She then proceeded to tell me my account wasn't past due because I make a {$120.00} payment the day before that went thru fine. I tried to explain that I didn't make any additional {$50.00} payment and this charge was never made from my bank and they confirmed that. She said she had to transfer me to a different department for them o investigate. I waited another 24 minutes to speak to someone else and he said he couldn't help because he was in the wrong department. He proceeded to transfer me to someone else and after waiting 41 minutes I gave up and decided to file a formal complain. Bank of American clearly doesn't value their customers time and is involved in some kind of scam to collect fee 's from customers on accounts that aren't even past due. My bank confirmed they didn't have any cancelled or unpaid payment to any of my creditors. I've spend hours on the phone and couldn't get ahold of anyone who cared enough to figure out how this happened.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (OK)

I called in my monthly payment and went through the menu to start up monthly withdrawls from my account. I got through it and listed the next payment was to come out on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX days later they took another payment (unauthorized) from my account and bounced my checking account by $XXXX. I've called and talked to them about it, sent back statements  show that XXXX payments were taken out. Now they're telling me that I called in an emergency payment, which I didn't do, and are now trying to lie and say that I made a payment online, which I have never done, never even set up an online account. This company wrongly took money from us, screwed our account so badly that we had to cancel a mini vacation we had planned to take with our children bc of all the missing money and they keep floundering in their attempts to tell me that I made XXXX payments in one month of my own free will, which is so stupid it's almost laughable. On top of that, they tell me that the automated payments that I set up were not in place so while I was thinking that the payments were coming out, I'd be getting late charges added to my account, which is how this company operates anyway. This isn't the XXXX time that they've messed with our lives. Last year I got a foreclosure  notice saying that I missed XXXX payments which was untrue, but when I called the XXXX number to find out what exactly was going on, they told me that every payment was accounted for and that they had no idea why I was receiving foreclosure notices. But they charged me late payments and told me that they had only recently "found" my payments within their company. That makes everything their fault but I had no recourse to try to fight this. I'm told that I own $XXXX in late fees for XXXX late payments, which were not late. They've shot our credit w their bogus XXXX late payments and so now we can't refinance w another company and get out from under these thieves. They've been known to not process a payment, which means that they claim late fees for months before you even know it. This happened to us a few years ago. We've lost XXXX to this company when an honest agreement was reached by XXXX us, but honest money isn't good enough for them. They want to suck late fees and anything else they can get out of you. They need shut down.
