Hunter-Warfield was assigned a missed {$24.00} flex pay from XXXX which went unpaid when I did not not enter the renewal for my credit card with a new expiration date. They REFUSED to send me a written bill, They REFUSED to answer the phone. Then they REFUSED to answer my numerous voice messages that I left for them ... because hey its only {$24.00} bucks and they can not be bothered. Since they are so shady I REFUSE to make an automated payment. I will only pay by traceable check or money order. I am not going to place myself in a position where they are enabled to rob me and max out one of my cards or clear out my bank accounts. They are shady and frightening!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MA)

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.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a XXXX  ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MI)

Bank : Bank of America Account type : credit card account # ending with XXXX. 

XX/XX/2018 1. Payment due date : XXXX of each month. 
2. I initiated a payment of {$670.00} on the XXXX of XXXX as I forgot to make the payment on the XXXX of the month. 
3. Bank charged me {$25.00} on XX/XX/XXXX for making a late payment. 
And an interest charge of {$6.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ( which was later removed after I made a phone call request to the customer rep ). 
4. No email or text or phone call alert system to alert the customer of the late fee and interest posted on the account. 

XX/XX/2018 1. I initiated a payment of {$330.00} on the XXXX of XXXX as I forgot to make the payment on the XXXX of the month. 
2. Bank charged me {$31.00} on the same day for making a late payment. 
And an interest charge of {$2.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ( which was later removed after I made a phone call request to the customer rep ). 
3. No email or text or phone call alert system to alert the customer of the late fee posted on the account. 

Inquiry call : XX/XX/XXXX Bank customer rep denied the request to waive the late payment charges. 
She informed me that the Bank doesn't inform the customer whenever a late fee or interest money is charged to the customer account. 
The only way to find out is if the customer goes online or make a phone call and inquire about the transactions. 

As a customer, I feel this is a predatory policy of the bank that they are not courteous enough to alert the customer if they are being charged such fee. As a matter of fact, the online account has no option for if a customer wants to be notified by the bank when aforementioned fee are posted on the account. 
So, unless that customer goes back and check their statements thoroughly they could be paying late fee and interest charges even though they have paid off balances.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: KEYCORP (NY)

I had a loan with Key Bank which seemingly they became the holders of. There were either three other holders before them, as I recall. The loan was paid off back in XX/XX/XXXX. I have not received my original ( not copy ) proprietary lease, and share of stock. Nor have I received proof of payoff which would include a XXXX termination notice. I received only a blank XXXX with no property address or termination stated thereon and my name was incorrectly spelled. These are the collateral for the loan which originated with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. Furthermore I have not received my recognition agreement, or complete loan documents. I have been calling them and complaining about this and have got finally just an incorrect XXXX, and a copy ( emphasis added ) of the adjustable rate note, loan security aggreement, and RESPA statement. 
I have told them that absent the original shares of stock and proprietary lease, and a completed filed XXXX termination notice from the county I can not sell the apartment, or do anything. Six months is more than enough time to have all this done as the original documents should have been provided to me no later than XX/XX/XXXX, and the XXXX should have been sent no later than three months from closing.
