Complaint narrative:
I recently pulled my credit report from XXXX, XXXX and XXXX and to my amazement, saw that you recently have decided to report me 30 days late on this account. Not only was I never late on this account, but according to the FCRA, as amended by the FACTA act, you are required to notify me of the insertion of negative listings. I never received such a notice. Your company never notified me, and your company filed to send me my statements for that month and when I talked to your rep, I was told that this mistake would be deleted. I never received a billing statement from your company.
