Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

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

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!

RE : XXXX and Chase Bank Transaction Date : XX/XX/year> Amount Paid : {$560.00} Payment Method : Credit Card I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a recent purchase I made through XXXX. Despite selecting a 12-month no-interest installment plan at checkout and receiving an invoice confirming this agreement, my credit card was charged in full by XXXX and Chase Bank . 

I contacted both XXXX and Chase Bank, but each pointed the finger at the other, leaving me stuck in the middle with no resolution. I only made the purchase because the installment option was available. The item in question is a XXXX XXXX for my XXXX mother. Despite needing the lift, had I known the payment would be required in full upfront, I would not have made the purchase. 

This is a significant amount of money, and I feel I was misled. I am seeking your assistance in resolving this matter by ensuring the installment plan is honored as originally agreed upon or by issuing a full refund if this can not be arranged.
