Complaint narrative:
I received a letter stating that I was late on a payment from XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX. I didn't know what it was as I didn't have any open accounts with XXXX so I sent a letter to them asking them to verify the account in writing in which I never heard from XXXX. I thought it was a mistake. Then in XXXX, I got an alert from my credit bureaus that XXXX said I was 30 days late XX/XX/XXXX. I then tried calling XXXX and was told that there was a mistake on how the account was closed so there was a {$25.00} fee added to the account. XXXX closed this account long before I was done with the payments and I only found that out through my credit report. The account has ALWAYS been in good standings up until they added this 30 day late on a closed account. I wasn't banking with XXXX either so I would have no way of knowing about any fees accessed. There was no notification of any fees due. The XXXX rep stated that she fixed the account and any fees were taken off and that she had properly closed the account on her end. I asked her about the 30 day late and she stated I would have to dispute the account. After talking to several XXXX representatives, I finally got one that stated I should not have receive a 30 day late and that she was disputing the late to have it removed from all 3 credit bureaus. After it was removed, then I get another alert that a 30 day late had been added again to this account for XX/XX/XXXX. There were no issues with this account until they made an error on this CLOSED account and added this 30 day late in XXXX. Now all of a sudden I'm late in XX/XX/XXXX. I was NOT late in XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with another XXXX rep on today and he stated that it LOOKS like I was late in XX/XX/XXXX by making half a payment on one day then half a payment on another day. This is TOTAL XXXX from XXXX. I'm not sure why they are purposely trying to mess up my credit, other than not wanting to except they were wrong in the first place to give me a 30 day late in XXXX when I was not late. I feel that XXXX  is purposely trying to punish me because I fought this mistake they made. How can I go with no lates with this account since XXXX, and now all of a sudden lates are coming from everywhere on a closed account. This is not fair or ethical for a business to do. The credit bureaus also are not investigating this matter, they are excepting whatever XXXX says and reporting it. Now XXXX is showing that the account was closed XX/XX/XXXX, when it was closed years before. If XXXX  had answered my request of verification when I first asked for this in writing, none of this would be happening. Although they claim their was an issue on their end with the closing of this account, I don't see how that's possible when they closed it, as I had no access to it anymore and it was updated on my credit report as closed.
