Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: SOUTHSTATE BANK, N.A. - 520 GERVAIS STREET BRANCH (GA)

I open an account with South State Bank, the financial institution is XXXX XXXX around XXXX' 2019 with a credit limit of $XXXX. I initially completed a balance transfer and made my first payment on XX/XX/19 and then set up automatic payments to take place but those automatic payments did not initiate for XXXX payment. I was notified after the due date and made an immediate payment likewise I contacted the Financial Institution to request the late fee be returned due to the software failure. This was my only missed payment I do not miss payments (as shown on my credit report with all 3 bureaus) XXXX   XXXX  decreased my line of credit from XXXX to XXXX   at the time I had about 6200 in open balance. This not only negatively effected my credit score it has become something that I have to speak to with my mortgage broker. I requested XXXX XXXX to correct this by reinstating my credit limit as well as waiving the late fee charge of $28.00 below is the response of the customer service agent

XXXX, as a courtesy, I have waited on a response that was promised in 15 calendar days and I have not received a response or resolution as of yet and it has been beyond the 15 calendar days previously indicated in the response from XXXX. In an attempt to be reasonable I will wait until XXXX   allowing 15 business days at which point I will move forward independently.

The company is claiming they sent me a letter on XXXX I have received no such letter.
