Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

My account with the XXXX and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 payment reported in XX/XX/year> XX/XX/year> 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.

This company 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 XXXX 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: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NC)

On XX/XX/2024, I went to the Bank of America branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  to open a joint account with my wife. We were looking to open our first joint account and were looking for offers to take advantage of when doing so. 

When we found an offer at Bank of America, a bank we both already have accounts with, we decided to open our joint account with them as well for the sake of simplicity. We set an appointment with a banker there and she quickly and easily created our joint account using information from our previous ones, and she assured us we would be eligible to receive {$200.00} through the offer if we receive atleast {$2000.00} in direct deposits over the next two months. 

On XX/XX/2024, I received {$2800.00} in direct deposit from my workplace to the new joint checking account. 

When I called the support number today, XX/XX/2024, to ask about the promotional offer status, they said I was not eligible since I already had an account with the Bank of America and there was nothing they could do. I then went to the branch where I opened the account and got to speak with the same banker, and she admitted that the system she used to enroll me in the offer doesn't catch if someone is ineligible and their branch encountered this situation 3-4 times already. I asked if they have any way of resolving the situation, and she said no, but she can bring her manager to apologize.
