Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute and request the correction of inaccurate late payment information on my credit report. After careful review of my credit report, I have identified discrepancies related to the reporting of late payments. I am seeking your assistance in correcting this matter promptly. 
Below are the details of the late payment information that requires attention : BK OF AMER XXXX - Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. 
I acknowledge that there was a late payment on the mentioned account, and I take full responsibility for the delay. However, I want to bring to your attention that the late payment has since been settled. I discovered the oversight promptly and made the payment as soon as I became aware of the delinquency. 
I understand the importance of accurate credit reporting, and I am kindly requesting your consideration to update the late payment status on my credit report. I am not disputing the fact that the payment was initially late, but I am requesting that the credit report reflect the resolution of the issue that is, the payment has been made and the account is now current.

Complaint narrative:
I filed for XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX. The bankruptcy was discharged in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX was included in the bankruptcy. They have now in the month of XX/XX/XXXX added the debt back to my credit report. They are aware that the account they have from XXXX at XXXX was discharged. They then attempted to pass the debt to my son. They are stating that he was a co applicant. However, he was a minor at the time. He was not of age to be on the lease. I have advised this debt collecting agency of this several times. Now they have added this account back to my credit file. At this point, I will seek legal action because this is causing emotional distress. I will definitely be reporting to the bankruptcy court of their continued attempts to still collect a debt that was discharged in federal bankruptcy. This lease was never a co- applicant lease. He was a XXXX  living with his mother. I have been more than patient with XXXX XXXX XXXX.
