State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
My account with the company and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 MONTHS REPORTING LATE 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. 

This company 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

Complaint narrative:
I booked a roundtrip flight to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. The ticket says clearly that there is no baggage charge on the return flight. Yet on XX/XX/XXXX the agent insisted I pay for a charge to get my bag back to the US. Being in a foreign country and using my United card with which I booked the ticket with United, I thought my Chase United card would have my back. I called United and Chase who both agreed the charge was fraudulent. When, after a few days Chase didn't remove the charge, they suggested reaching out to XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX mentioned my card terms ( which require free bags on XXXX flights ) but didn't address my ticket clearly stating no bag charge was permitted. By either token, given the XXXX designation and the clearly stated ticket free of a charge, Chase had an obligation to prevent the charge. I filed a dispute with Chase who initially agreed but then XXXX XXXX disputed the charge and they are siding with them. 

This is a textbook fraud. It is like buying 10 XXXX  from XXXX XXXX for {$10.00} and XXXX XXXX seizing the order and demanding {$20.00} to hand it to you.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.These late payments are in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as it inaccurately reflects my payment history. As per the law, I request that you demand the financial agencies involved to conduct a comprehensive review of their records to rectify this error promptly. It is imperative that they provide documented evidence supporting the validity of this late payment. Should they fail to provide such evidence, I demand that they remove or update the late payment entry on my credit report accordingly. Failure to comply with this request will leave me no choice but to pursue legal action to ensure the accuracy of my credit report and protect my rights as a consumer. Your immediate attention to this matter is imperative.
