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: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IA)

I had 17 loans with XXXX XXXX, I now have 2 loans which are consolidated. In XX/XX/XXXX they reported to my credit report that I was 90 days past due, since the loans had not been consolidated at that point it did not just report it once but 17 times. My loans had a forbearance from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX, I never received a bill from them to prompt me to pay anything and every attempt that I have made to get them to correct my credit report comes back, with them saying that it is correct and they do not have to correct because a forbearance does not stop it from being considered late if you look at the 2 previous months on my credit report they reported that XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX were all paid as agreed and then in XX/XX/XXXX reported that it was 90 days past due, if it was 90 days past due then I would not have been able to have been as agreed in the 3 months prior to it. The loans have since been consolidated and are on a payment plan where it has not shown a missed payment since, they are unjustly leaving these on my credit report even though my loan was in forbearance in order to prevent me from obtaining other credit.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I mistakenly transferred money from BoA checking to a BoA credit card WAY more than what I owe. I tried to stop the payment immediately but the BoA manager said I needed to wait until the payment went through to the CC and it would be returned to my savings account in 24-48 hours. 

I called back after 6 days wondering where my refund was and they said the money would be returned to me in up to 14 days. Meanwhile, I can not pay my bills and am bouncing checking which they say I'll have to pay fees on. I don't see why it takes 14 days to return an overpayment to a BoA Credit Card when the money came out of a BoA Checking Account. 

I've spent more than 6 hours on the phone trying to work this out as I need my money to pay the bill. Everyone I've spoken to at BoA says that the people at BoA who authorize the refund can not be contacted by anyone at the bank.

On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Mohela and XXXX, both student loan providers for FASFA. Neither claimed responsibility or the ability to resolve the duplication on my report. On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a Feedback case on studentaid.gov, case # XXXX. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX, I still have not received a contact back or any update on the status of my case what-so-ever. I am trying to purchase a home, but because of the duplication on my credit reports, I have been unsuccessful in getting friendly lending terms. 

There are hundreds of people like me reporting this as an issue on numerous website forums.
