Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NC)

For close to three years, I have paid my mortgage payment on time using the online bill pay system. In XX/XX/2019, I logged in to pay my bill as I always do and submitted my payment. However, in XX/XX/2019, when I logged in to submit my XXXX payment, I saw a notification alerting me that I was over 30 days past due on my XXXX payment. I immediately paid both, but the XXXX payment had slipped past the 30 day mark by a hair. 

Fifth Third bank has never provided me email notifications when a payment is late, when a payment is submitted or when a payment is received. Furthermore, I didnt receive any other communication alerting me that I was past due ( no phone call, no letter ). These are basic services a large bank such as Fifth Third should provide, and yet they don't. 

This late payment was reported to all three credit bureaus and has lowered by credit score significantly. I submitted a dispute directly to Fifth Third, pointing out that their online bill payment system didn't process my payment, nor did I receive any communication and asked them to remove the late payment from my credit reports. 

I received a form letter today, denying my request. At no point during the dispute period did I receive a phone call, an email or any communication acknowledging they received the dispute, or any communication on the status of it. Nor did they make any attempt to gather any additional information. I had to go into a branch and beg for a local manager to help. He tried but was also left in the dark.

The onus should be on the bank to show some form of evidence that their banking system ( and subsequent communications to me ) DID NOT fail. As an XXXX professional with over 15 years experience in e-commerce systems, I am keenly aware that websites do not perform at 100 % at all times. Packets drop, requests get backed up in message queues or get lost, and transactions fail. Show me proof that I never logged into my account in XXXX. Show me proof that you sent an email that bounced back, or a letter that was returned to sender. Instead, they have responded with a form letter stating my " account is being reported accurately. '' This is beyond poor customer service. This is a failure of the core communication and notification services they should be providing ( and claim to provide ) to their customers.

Hello, After disputing account XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX multiple times I filled complaints with CFPB for the account with Transunion, XXXX and XXXX. Complaints and complaint results are attached.
