Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, PA, XXXX,, XXXX : XXXX D.O.B : XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I am disturbed that you continue to list a dismissed ( filed ) bankruptcy as confirmed. I am aware that you receive your information from a third-party verification system known as a pacer system. This system is sometimes inaccurate because of the limitations of providing a complete Social Security number. Although it is your policy to keep reporting bankruptcy that is filed, dismissed, or adjudicated for 10 years, the Fair Credit Reporting Act mentions nothing in Section 1681c relating to bankruptcy about dismissals or filings. The law clearly states from " date of adjudication '' or date of " order for relief. '' Any case, civil or otherwise, which is dismissed, no longer exists in the eyes of the law, and a case filed may never have been adjudicated. You have no right to maintain information which the government has deemed non-existent. It is only fair that in accordance with section 1681 ( a ) ( S ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act you delete this from my credit report and send me an updated copy.

Considering it does not require an investigation, I would appreciate your response within two weeks from the date you receive this letter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, all three credit bureaus have different information that is not accurate

Company: MONEY SOURCE, INC., THE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I contacted my mortgage company about late payments that I considered not late. 
I have XXXX in XXXX, XXXX in XXXX, XXXX in XXXX, and XXXX in XXXX all of these dates are 15 days late from the first of the month, and one or more days after the grace period which is after the 15th of the month. I am charged a grace period fee and a 30-day late payment penalty. Then I question them how can this be when it is only 15 days late. I was told that they were correct because the state law allows them to penalize the borrower for the full 30 days after the grace period. 

My question is to you all is this fair to when it stated on my credit report, this is a 30 days lateness, not 15 days. I am being cheated out of 15 days, the law is wrong. 
Who has ever known this law existed to favor the lawn company? 
Show this be changed to fit both the borrower and the lender?

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Stenger & Stenger, P.C
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Stenger & Stenger because I had agreed with them in XX/XX/XXXX to pay $ XXXX until I reached my settlement amount of {$2400.00}. When I called today to verify that I've met my duty to pay off the debt, I was told that I still owed about {$1200.00} because I didn't pay in XX/XX/XXXX, and that my settlement was nullified. I told the representative that yes, I had made my payment ; however, their system canceled my payment. When I discovered this was the case around XX/XX/XXXX, I called Stenger & Stenger immediately to address the canceled payment. There was no reason for my payment to have been canceled as I used a debit card to make my payment, and it would have declined my transaction if I didn't have enough funds or the transaction or I would've had a general decline response. I was told at the time that there was a cease and desist order on my account, and I was asked if I wanted it removed because the company technically couldn't talk to me because of this being on the account. I stated at that time I wanted the order removed; however, I discovered today it was still present on my account, and my request for removal from about XX/XX/XXXX was not honored. 

After the interactions from today, I firmly believe that Stenger & Stenger will purposefully mislead individuals into agreements to pay off debts for lesser amounts ; however, they will fraudulently find any way not to honor their contract. This is evidenced by no one contacting me about my payment cancellation due tol this supposed cease and desist order on my account. Furthermore, I believe they knowingly and fraudulently canceled my payment without my knowledge, so they could collect the total amount, which I will not do as I adhered to my portion of the agreement. I even have proof of payment from XX/XX/XXXX, with a confirmation number of the payment being made. 

If the demand of honoring my agreement is not upheld, I will contact my lawyer and I will sue for damages because of their fraudulent tactics.
