Complaint narrative:
My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 in those account to be removed.

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.

( CREDITOR NAME ) Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I had a XXXXXXXX XXXX conversation with someone I believed to be XXXX XXXX ( my former neighbor ). Her account had been taken over and " she '' was selling items on behalf of her elderly uncle. I was interested in one of the items and was asked to provide a deposit to hold it. I was given her email address, which had her name in it and I sent {$210.00} from my PayPal account. As the conversation with the fraudster continued I started to get suspicious, and I texted XXXX XXXX to verify if it was really her I was speaking with. At that time, she told me it was not her and that she had been hacked. I had sent the money to someone who's name appeared as " XXXX XXXX ''. We ( the real XXXX and I ) immediately contacted PayPal to try to get my funds back, but could barely understand the person on the phone due to a lot of background call center noise and a language barrier. From what I understood, they'd " look into it '', but I had no protection. I was told I'd receive an email with the case details, but I never did, so I opened a dispute via the app. That dispute was closed in favor of the " seller '' in less than 2 hours. The details say I can appeal the dispute, but upon trying to do that, the website went in circles and kept giving me an error. I tried calling, but the automated system said I could not appeal the dispute at this time, but yet had only 10 days to do it. 
I was taken advantage of by a scammer and PayPal will do nothing to help. I asked them to pull the funds back from the fraudster, or at the very least, put a hold on the account so the money can't be spent while the investigation is underway. This has been the worst customer experience and I'd like them to be accountable to their customers in need. I am attaching screenshots of my conversation with the fraudster, who was NOT XXXX XXXX, for reference. I did try to ask XXXX XXXX to return my funds but he has since gone silent.
