Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXXXXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX 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. 

XXXX XXXX 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 recently bought this XXXX gift card at my local store. I read up online and was fascinated at the claim that the card works everywhere online and in store. I was very unpleasantly surprised when I try to use the card over and over again to no avail. It keeps getting declined by every merchant while they claim that it works perfectly fine ( A LIE! ). I contacted customer support multiple times and they told me that the card is activated. I have tried at every major payment corporations and stores and it STILL does not work.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: The Best Service Co.,Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding inaccuracies in my credit report and issues with debt validation. My situation involves duplicate entries and improper debt reporting, which I believe violate federal and California consumer protection laws.

Details of the Complaint : 1. Duplicate Entries : My credit report shows two separate entries for the same debt : - XXXX XXXX : {$350.00} - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : {$350.00} Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reports must be accurate and complete. The FCRA requires that once a debt is sold to a collection agency, the original creditor should not continue reporting the same debt. 

2. Lack of Debt Validation : I have disputed this issue with XXXX but have not received a resolution. Additionally, " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX' has not provided valid documentation proving that I owe the debt or that they have the right to collect it. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), a debt collector must provide proof of the debt upon request. 

3. Failure to Resolve Dispute : Despite my dispute and requests for validation, XXXX has not corrected the inaccuracies. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX has not updated their status to indicate the debt was sold or transferred. 

Relevant California Laws : - California Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act ( CCCRAA ) : Requires accurate credit reporting and proper handling of disputes. 
- California Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : Protects consumers from unfair debt collection practices, including the need for debt validation. 
Attached are screenshots of my credit report, dispute correspondence, and any relevant documentation supporting my claims. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request assistance in resolving these issues in accordance with consumer protection laws.
