( Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter ) Commission File Number XXXX by their own admission they take possession of the note as a receivable and pool them together to sell for profits. There is no way I am in debt when the security is being traded for profits which is my bearer security and should be transferred to me. Furthermore any termination of consumer credit lines I am due the balance. Due to the fraud I have found I reported this account to the IRS so they may perform a full audit of this account to see how much has been paid and reported. 

XXXX Treatment of credit balances ; account termination. 
( a ) Credit balances. When a credit balance in excess of {$1.00} is created on a credit account ( through transmittal of funds to a creditor in excess of the total balance due on an account, through rebates of unearned finance charges or insurance premiums, or through amounts otherwise owed to or held for the benefit of the consumer ), the creditor shall : ( 1 ) Credit the amount of the credit balance to the consumer 's account ; ( 2 ) Refund any part of the remaining credit balance within seven business days from receipt of a written request from the consumer ; ( 3 ) Make a good faith effort to refund to the consumer by cash, check, or money order, or credit to a deposit account of the consumer, any part of the credit balance remaining in the account for more than XXXX months. No further action is required if the consumer 's current location is not known to the creditor and can not be traced through the consumer 's last known address or telephone number.

( b ) Account termination.

( 1 ) A creditor shall not terminate an account prior to its expiration date solely because the consumer does not incur a finance charge.

( 2 ) Nothing in paragraph ( b ) ( 1 ) of this section prohibits a creditor from terminating an account that is inactive for three or more consecutive months. An account is inactive for purposes of this paragraph if no credit has been extended ( such as by purchase, cash advance or balance transfer ) and if the account has no outstanding balance.

I understand the importance of accurate reporting, and I appreciate that credit reporting agencies play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of credit information. However, it is equally important to consider the context of financial challenges that may arise, especially when these challenges are temporary and do not reflect a refusal to fulfill financial obligations. I was the victim and Im not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. I insist that your bureau updates the reporting of the late payment dates to accurately reflect the current status of the account. The reporting should indicate that the account is up-to-date since it has been paid. This correction is vital to ensure the fair and accurate representation of my credit history. While there were lapses in payments due to unforeseen financial circumstances, it is imperative to note that these late payments were eventually rectified and brought up to date. Despite the temporary setbacks, the account has since been paid, and I expect your bureau to accurately reflect this on my credit report. 
XXXX  XXXX XXXXPLEASE UPDATE!! I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history.

I trust that you will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and promptly make the necessary corrections to my credit report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation (OK)

I opened an account with Fortiva Retail Credit inXX/XX/2023 with an original purchase of {$13000.00}. My first statement closing date was XX/XX/XXXX and I set up automatic payments. Fortiva immediately had trouble pulling the autopay and the first payment I made on XX/XX/XXXX got reversed on the XXXX. I didnt know about it for a few days after that so I made another payment manually on XX/XX/XXXX for {$1200.00}. That payment posted correctly, but then they drafted {$1200.00} again on XX/XX/XXXX. I complained about the double payment and asked them to refund the second payment but they refused to do so. That second payment should have been applied to the statement date ending XX/XX/XXXX but they didnt apply it correctly, so then they send out a XX/XX/XXXX statement charging me a {$30.00} late fee plus interest. 
I complained about the late fee and interest and they agreed to refund the late fee but they didnt refund the interest charge. I made a {$1200.00} payment manually on XX/XX/XXXX but then they autodrafted it two more times that month for another {$2400.00} which they refused to refund, so the XX/XX/XXXX statement shows three separate {$1200.00} payments when I only made one. 
Then they sent out the XX/XX/XXXX statement showing my {$1200.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX but they still charged a {$41.00} late fee plus additional interest. 
I have four billing statements in front of me, showing payment due dates on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Each month a single {$1200.00} payment was supposed to have been made, so I should have made {$4800.00} in payments so far. But because of Fortivas incompetency with processing autodrafts and their refusal to fix problems that they created, they have now charged me {$7200.00} in payments over that time period and theyve charged me a {$41.00} late fee plus {$0.00} interest. 
Their payment processing system intentionally drags out the posting process to trigger a late fee. I scheduled my XXXX payment on XX/XX/XXXX and the email I received from them shows it would be applied by XX/XX/XXXX. The statement they sent me for that month shows they didnt actually post it until XX/XX/XXXX, which triggered a late fee. 
The same thing happened the month before. I scheduled my XXXX payment on XX/XX/XXXX ; the email from them says it would be applied by XX/XX/XXXX ; they didnt post it until XX/XX/XXXX. 
This company is scamming customers and providing lousy customer service in response to issues they cause. 
I will get this account paid off as soon as possible so I never have to deal with them again, but I want their treatment of my account and others like it investigated. Their business practices are shady and underhanded.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NJ)

To my knowledge, I was never late on my Chase credit card with account number XXXX. But I realized that I was reported as being 30 days past due in XX/XX/XXXX and 60 days late in XX/XX/XXXX, which is not true. I have had this credit card since XX/XX/XXXX with no late payments and not sure why all of a sudden I was reported late. To my knowledge I have always have 100 % positive payment history and have not only tried to pay way before my due date, but also have tried to pay more than the minimum amount.
