I told XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX to reinvestigate these accounts : Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX However, they stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Javitch, Block & Rathbone LLC (OH)

I found XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting on my credit report and disputed it as unrecognized. The Credit Agencies reported back on the dispute as correct per XXXX. They told me to call XXXX directly at the number listed on credit report ( see attached item # 1 ). XXXX told me they can not speak to me, as they no longer have the file. They had me log in their website and showed me the phone number for XXXX XXXX and said to call them, they have no information on the debt anymore and are not permitted to speak with me about it. I haver called XXXX XXXX several times over the course of four weeks and only am placed on hold after pressing prompts. I wait 20 minutes or more and no one ever answers the phone. I call XXXX XXXX the original Creditor, and told them the above. XXXX XXXX states that their records show they charged it off and sold it to XXXX XXXX XXXX, to call them again. I called XXXX again and asked for a supervisor and explained why. She apologized but said she can not tell me anything, but she would send an email to XXXX XXXX asking them to call my cell number ( which I provided.to her ). I can not understand how they can claim they own the debt on my credit report and verify its info with the credit reporting agencies, but tell me they have no information on file anymore and they have no jurisdiction to speak with me about it anymore. How can they then verify they own it and corroborate its accuracy on my credit report when it was recently disputed? I am trying to get validation of this debt, but the supposed " owners '' of the debt refuse to tal to me and refer me to another party who will not answer there phones. I can show phone records of my attempted multiple calls and wait times. This should not be legal and it appears they can not validate the debt since they can not speak about it,. Secondly, this XXXX XXXX has never sent me any communications as required nor has either party allowed me to validate the debt, including the supposed owners of it!

I requested company to remove a late charge from my credit reports because it was their mishandling of payment options that caused the payment to be late. 

I scheduled the payments on their website to be paid automatically every month. However, I didnt realize that they only allow up to XXXX months at a time, and XXXX months later, XXXX XXXX put a late charge on all of my credit bureau accounts. All of my accounts everywhere else offer auto pay and us consumers never have to worry about it. I dont understand why they stopped the payment after XXXX months that is unfair to the consumer who is simply attempting to make payments every month. I do not believe that I should be penalized due to their mishandling and lack of options to pay them on time. 

The late charge that XXXX submitted on my credit report is the only account that shows late on any my credit reports that is a reflection of them, not me.

These fraudulent accounts have already been removed from the records of other credit bureaus, indicating an inconsistency in your reporting. I contacted the companies associated with these accounts via phone call, and they have confirmed that the accounts were fraudulent and have removed them from their records. Despite this, the accounts remain on my credit report with your bureau. The presence of these fraudulent accounts negatively impacts my credit history and could have serious consequences for my financial future.

Subject : Complaint Regarding Mishandling of Credit Card Payment - Reference : XXXX XX/XX/year>XXXX XXXX XXXX Customer Service Department XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint under the provisions of the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), specifically under 15 USC 1666b, regarding the mishandling of my credit card payment account with reference to Section 1637b. 

My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am an account holder with XXXX XXXX, with the account number XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment towards my credit card account well within the designated billing cycle and in accordance with the terms outlined in Section 1637b of the CFPA. However, despite the clear provisions of the law stipulating that creditors must not treat a payment as late unless certain conditions are met, I have noticed discrepancies in the handling of my payment by XXXX XXXX. 

It has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX has inaccurately processed my payment, marking it as late and subsequently applying late fees and penalties to my account. This action is in direct violation of the CFPA, which clearly mandates that creditors must adhere to the timelines and procedures outlined in Section 1637b before considering a payment late. 

According to the law, creditors such as XXXX XXXX are required to provide consumers with clear and timely information regarding payment due dates, as well as any changes or updates to these dates. Furthermore, creditors must allow a minimum of 21 days from the date of sending such information before treating a payment as late. 

In light of these violations, I demand that XXXX XXXX rectify the erroneous late fees and penalties applied to my account and take immediate steps to ensure compliance with the provisions of the CFPA moving forward. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into this matter to prevent similar occurrences in the future and to provide me with a detailed explanation of the steps taken to address this issue. 

Failure to address this matter promptly and adequately will leave me with no choice but to escalate this complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and pursue further legal action as necessary to protect my rights as a consumer. 

I trust that XXXX XXXX will take the necessary steps to resolve this matter expediently and restore confidence in its adherence to consumer protection laws. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
