Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

On XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX XXXX to get assistance for my XX/XX/XXXX payment for my mortgage loan. I spoke to XXXX XXXX a Home Preservation Specialist with XXXX XXXX. I told her my payment was due and that I was out of work for a month due to a full XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX then said she for sure was able to assist me gave me two different options and one of the options was to commit to a payment arrangement. The payment arrangement consists of splitting the month of XXXX regular payment of {$1600.00} in two payments. First payment in a half of {$2500.00} would be paid on XX/XX/XXXX and the second payment would be paid on XX/XX/XXXX for the same amount of {$2500.00}. I asked the representative if this would affect my credit and she replied no because they would help me get on track. I felt in great relief with the assistance. 
My daughter XXXX XXXX is the cosigners to the loan. My daughter is a XXXX XXXX for the City of XXXX CA. In the month XXXX I received a call from my daughter the cosigner of the loan told me how upset she was feeling and asking me why I was late for three months on the mortgage payment she stated her credit score dropped about 80 points. At this point her credit was ruined her and possibly not able to purchase another home for her family since she is soon to get married. 
I have contacted XXXX XXXX several times and have gotten the run around. I spoke to a representative and she was rude just continued to say I was late and would not listen to my concerns and facts. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the XXXX XXXX in the external department and asked him to please pull the calls and prove that XXXX XXXX gave me false and misleading information about credit reporting. XXXX XXXX has proof of payment plan letter and payments made to them on time per the payment arrangement letter from XXXX XXXX. I have also contacted Experian and XXXX and downloaded proof of the payment arrangement from XXXX XXXX and a copy of my bank statement from XXXX  XXXX XXXX showing proof that it had been paid on time. 
My daughter and my financial future are in Jeopardy. We are not at peace and all we did is trust our mortgage lender.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — 
Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (GA)

I took out a signature loan with Penfed for {$10000.00}. My spouse passed away recently and I lost his income in addition to now having more debt to pay including $ XXXX in hospital bills and an extra car payment until I was able to sell our other car. My homeowners insurance went from {$1000.00} a year to {$2900.00} this year which was very unexpected. In XXXX I was XXXX as I am also XXXX and the stress of being alone and having to take care of everything was too much to bear. I reached out to Penfed in XXXX and after explaining my situation and at the customer service reps recommendation she sent me Hardship documents that I promptly filled out and returned 24 hours later. I got a confirmation email stating that I would be contacted via email when it was reviewed. After not getting any emails and checking online to see if there was any additional ionformation, I called Penfed the beginning of XXXX and was told that the file had just been assigned to someone and I should hear something soon. On XX/XX/XXXX I got an email stating that the death certificate was received and reviewed but nothing else. Today I called again and after being sent to several different reps I was told that since the loan was 90 days past due, I would not qualify for a hardship agreement. Then he put me on hold and told me that they were forwarding it for a 2nd review but he didn't have much hope. He was very negative and wondered why I had fallen behind and if I could make a payment today. It is hard enough and a very embarrassing situation to not be able to meet your debt obligations. I am upset with myself that I did not foresee any of this occurring but for Penfed to basically forget about me and then keep me hoping for a resolution while reporting the loan delinquent even when I was in application to 60 days past due does not appear that they are wanting to assist customers that are going through major financial hardships and why wasn't I informed of this 90 day rule to begin with? It seems like Penfed wants me to file bankruptcy as I informed the last rep that I was considering it as I am losing sleep and my health is once again suffering. My payment could be made more affordable if not for the 17 % interest rate as well.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (IL)

I have my Amazon store credit card set to autopay my statement balance each month to avoid interest fees. I recently received email marketing from amazon recommending to me to shut off my autopay to take advantage of promotional financing. The email is worded in a way that suggests I've done something wrong and am not getting the best deal by using autopay and paying off my statement balance each month. This is misleading advertising that encourages consumers to grow credit card debt under the guise of a missed opportunity. If I need financing options, I will seek them out. Credit card companies should not be making financing recommendations as they have a clear interest in giving poor advice.
