On  XXXX   XXXX , I received an email stating my account was unpaid. I checked my banks website, which I had ebill setup on with   XXXX   for years and have always paid my bill, and they had not received a bill since  XXXX   XXXX . I logged into  XXXX  's website immediately and paid the bill in full, I proceeded to check my email for any indication my account was over due before I was notified on  XXXX   XXXX , but have no communication from  XXXX  saying as much. In addition, I have received no notification that they were going to stop the use of ebills from them via email, mail or telephone. Upon payment in full of the account, the website said it will not be reported to the credit agencies that my account was " overdue ''. I contacted a young lady in customer support shortly there after and she confirmed they are no longer accepting ebills, does not know specifically when they stopped accepting them, and that my credit report would not be affected by this because I was not communicated with about the change in service. She even removed the late payment fee 's due to this.  Two  days later I was notified by my credit monitoring my  credit score  dropped  XXXX  points, and upon review of my credit report even though it shows as everything paid as on time for the  XXXX  account, they are reporting it as 60 days late. This contradicts both what the online payment website said, and what the customer service representative had told me. I contacted them again and got a different person, who after almost a hour and a half told me yes as a consumer he would feel frustrated as well but there was nothing he could do and I would have to contact someone higher than him or mail in a letter, not providing any information on who was higher than him, only an address and fax to send a letter to.     I have been a customer for many years, I do not carry a large balance, maybe  XXXX   XXXX  which is paid monthly. While the first representative was willing to help and make promises that confirmed what their website said about the credit report, two days later was the first time anything appeared on my report regarding them and the next representative was unable to help at all.

I am filing this complaint because my credit reports show several unauthorized inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These inquiries have appeared without my consent, and despite reaching out to the credit bureaus to have them removed, they remain on my reports. My disputes have been ignored or dismissed without proper investigation, leaving these inaccurate inquiries to negatively impact my credit score. This situation is both alarming and unjust, as these inquiries are not a result of any actions Ive taken. Also all inaccurate addresses and names that I have shown on my dispute letter.

Good afternoon, In XXXX and XXXX we called XXXX directly and made payments over the phone for the balance due. At that time we were told all balances were paid in full by the representative. XXXX then reported to the credit agencies that we were late. We called and made all payments with them directly and were not told of any further due balances. We have tried to resolve the error in reporting with XXXX directly and then refuse to fix the issue. We called again and paid another month 's balance and were not told of an additional balance being due. They then applied our payment to a previous month. On our end we believed everything was paid or we would've made a second payment. We were not told. They sent no communications or via email or phone call letting us know we were behind. We greatly appreciate any help in resolve this issue and fixing our credit report. We were previously at a score of over XXXX and have since been reduced to a score of below XXXX because, of this misreporting. We need this fix as soon as possible to move forward with our business needs. Thank you.

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 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!

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.

ever 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
