Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am AGAIN disputing the following information that DOES NOT appear on my Experian consumer report : Wells Fargo XXXX XXXX lending account number XXXX This account is not being reported on my Experian credit file The account was opened XX/XX/XXXX For the past two years I have tried in vain to get XXXX to verify and report my Wells Fargo mortgage payment history of over 13 years. I have had the Wells Fargo mortgage since XXXX with an excellent payment history. I have repeatedly sent documentation from Wells Fargo showing they are reporting to XXXX yet no matter what proof I send, XXXX still refuses to report my mortgage history. I previously filed a complaint with the consumer financial protection bureau and Wells Fargo responded stating they don't allow personal reporting to credit files. This made no sense as I was not attempting to personally report but trying to get XXXX to verify my Wells Fargo account and actually report it as they should. I even hired a credit consulting firm who tried in vain for a year to get XXXX to report but still nothing. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I sent several documents to XXXX proving my Wells Fargo mortgage history and I have received no response back. I am NOT attempting to personally report my mortgage history, but am trying to get XXXX to verify and report it based on ALL the many documents I have provided proving my mortgage history. XXXX and XXXX XXXX both report my mortgage history. 
This error of not reporting my mortgage account kas kept my FICO score at least XXXX points lower than XXXX XXXX and XXXX. I was turned down for a loan due to insufficient credit history on my XXXX report.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX 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.

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 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

When I checked my credit report this morning, I was completely blindsided to see inaccurate accounts showing up. Im at a loss as to how this could have happened. I review my credit report regularly, and this time, these discrepancies appeared out of nowhere. I even refreshed the page, thinking maybe it was a glitch, but it wasnt. The incorrect accounts stayed on my report. Im desperately asking for the documents Ive submitted to be reviewed with care, so I never have to worry about this again.
