Complaint narrative:
Dispute letters were sent to the credit reporting agencies regarding accountXX/XX/XXXX XXXX due to incorrect information. I had an agreement with the creditor to remove this account once it was paid off, so I am confused as to why this is still reporting. I am requesting that this account is removed due to its many inaccuracies. How is different information reporting when all data furnished should be the same. It is my understanding that consumer reporting agencies are to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of information in consumer reports. 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). This account should be removed immediately due to the fact that I had an agreement with the original creditor and because the information is inaccurate. I know that this violation can be taken to small claims court, and I will be able to show the inaccurate report and proof that it has caused me to suffer damages. Please see the attached inaccurate report showing the different balances you are reporting for the same account number.

Complaint narrative:
I have opened a credit card with sun trust bank on XXXX XXXX since that time I set auto pay so all my payment come out from my bank account with XXXX XXXXXXXX ending XXXXXXXX since the i never had a problem with late payment until Truist Bank purchased Sun Trust on XXXX never once i was informed that my auto pay would not migrate to the new Truist bank despite their claims that that they have informed me of their error. on three occasions they called me about late payments that were shorter than 30 days interestingly enough i made the payment over the phone and they had my XXXX XXXX information I thought it was strange that they had my XXXX XXXX info but they didn't use it for auto pay. Fast forward to XX/XX/ I got a message while I was overseas tending to a XXXX father that I was late. At first i was perplexed why are not using auto pay, so when I came back to the state i contacted the bank immediately to resolve the issue so on XX/XX/ I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX and explain the situation. XXXX XXXX assured me that it was a bank error and she also refunded the late fees however, she did nothing to correct the problem with the credit agencies. On XXXX XXXX I contacted the bank again this time i spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX who also insisted that it was a bank error but referred me to her supervisor XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX assured me that XXXX bank will fix the problem with the credit agencies still no correction in fact the credit agencies validated the debt wich caused my credit score to drop by XXXX point causing me to lose a mortgage i was refinancing. 
To add insult to injury today I received a letter from a XXXX XXXX XXXX apologizing for the " frustration '' that the bank merger caused oh yes ruining my credit was merely a frustration to XXXX XXXX. Frankly his letter was despicable to say the least. To say I am a disappointed with a respectable bank 's action its an understatement. Three different bank employees on three different occasions admitted to the mistake including XXXX XXXX second paragraph. I feel that my rights under the fair credit act as well as the care act were violated by Truist bank and I am requesting that they correct their mistake ASAP
