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

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NM)

For almost 5 years I have been unable to receive my annual free credit report form Experian online, with requests dating back to XX/XX/XXXX and most recently today on XXXX  made via XXXX Most recently the excuse provided by Experian states that " A condition exists that prevents Experian from being able to accept your request at this time. '' In the company 's response to my previous CFPB complaint they did not include any detailed information regarding this barrier to my receiving my credit report, and simply stated that consumers are not guaranteed access to their reports online. If the company continually denies the simple and quick access that an online credit report provides customers, they need to provide customers with detailed information as to why requests for online reports are denied, no boilerplate language that implies we are not owed an online report. 

My experience shows that Experian is continuing to present barriers to consumers accessing their credit reports with the bureau electronically, forcing them instead having to mail or call to request a hard copy of their report. This is a parsimonious and inexplicable barrier to access from company that, as I have mentioned before, maintains its existence by aggregating the personal information of consumers and profiting from that info, with XXXX benefit to the consumers themselves.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (OH)

I have reached out to the involved companies through the credit bureaus, and it has been 90 days without any response. This lack of communication is concerning and disappointing, as I am only trying to resolve the issue with these accounts. The unresponsiveness from the company may be perceived as an admittance of incorrect or inaccurate information.

I demand that this unverifiable information be removed from my credit report immediately. The 90-day delay in addressing this matter is unacceptable and impacts my financial standing. I expect prompt action to resolve this issue and ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history. 

CAPITAL ONE is in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ), which govern the timing of payments and grace periods.

Under the law, 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.
