Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I entered into a vehicle financing agreement with Westlake Financial. Over the course of the loan, I encountered financial hardship and entered into multiple signed extension agreements or deferments that were approved by Westlake.

Despite these formal agreements, Westlake has : Reported late payments to credit bureaus during the extension periods. 
Failed to honor the terms of our payment agreements, interrupting or reversing agreed-upon deferments without cause. 
Repeatedly harassed me by phone, calling from multiple area codes and different numbers, often multiple times per dayeven after formal agreements were in place and while I was not delinquent. 

In addition, I believe the loan may include predatory lending practices, including : Unclear or confusing terms High interest rate relative to credit risk Poor transparency about extension or deferral consequences

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section XXXX ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX  days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Since my complaint, XXXX XXXX wrongfully reported a late payment to TransUnion, which caused my credit score to decrease XXXX points, and was denied a loan I was applying for. I disputed the late fee and also obtained Good Faith letters of payments made by my bank ( attached ). They have caused me financial harm with numerous unknown fees. I have paid them every pay day ( XXXX and XXXX ) for over XXXX now ( and charged me a fee to simply call and give them my debit card ). All I did differently is let them know I'd be making payments via my online bill pay ( free ) and have no control when they receive and decide to apply payment. I believe they are deliberately not getting their mail daily and withholding prompt payment to add interest, fees, and harm consumers.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
