I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Issue: Confusing or misleading advertising or marketing — 
Company: Sunlight Financial LLC (MA)

I have a solar panel loan with the lender Sunlight Financial aquired by XXXX XXXX for a solar panels on my home. I was mislead by the salesmen and Sunlight Financial to believe I would qualify for the 30 % tax credit for solar energy when I file my taxes. I was told I would qualify for this tax credit and could use it as a voluntary payment towards my loan but it would need to be made by the XXXX loan payment. My issue is sunlight financial released the funds to XXXX XXXX before the project was completely installed. This is causing me to make payments on solar panels that are not functioning. This is also making it impossible for me to claim on my taxes before the XXXX monthly payment because I do not have the permission to operate which is necessary to claim as a tax credit. They released the funds prematurely and now XXXX XXXX has gone out of business as of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have been getting billed from sunlight financial since XX/XX/2023. It states in my contract that payments will begin after Installation, and my panels were not completely installed until XX/XX/2023. The finance company is refusing to extend my payments to give me the chance to file for the tax credit. I believe they did this on purpose alongside with XXXX XXXX. Both of these companies need to be investigated.
