Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint narrative:
I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX, and moved to XXXX, XXXX  within XXXX months of starting the XXXX XXXX program. When the school moved from XXXX, XXXX  to XXXX, XXXX  they indicated that they had misplaced all of the school documents and we needed to complete all documents and " sign only '' for our financial aid report. We were also told that the school lost its accreditation, and they were in the process of separating from the affiliate school in XXXX, XXXX. All students would be refunded any fees associated with any hardships they faced while trying to obtain documentation to show the Department of Education that they met the requirements for the program. This process lasted so long that we were told we had to complete our externship and for us to transfer any credits to another institution we would be charged for the entire program. They kept gaslighting us with promises of correcting the issue and everything would be taken care of. I completed the program entirely in XX/XX/XXXX, they signed another financial aid document again when I was no longer at the school. From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, I did not attend any classes at the school, and we were told that if we completed the course we had to wait until XX/XX/XXXX to officially graduate because they did not have enough students to perform a graduation ceremony. 
It wasn't until I started to register for school in XX/XX/XXXX, that I became aware of all of the financial aid XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX had filed for in my name during the program ended. I traveled back to XXXX, XXXX  to figure out what was going on they had moved from XXXX to XXXX, XXXX, they had changed the curriculum, and none of the financial aid faculty was at the school, one of the professors was now the XXXX of the School ( which he was aware of the fraud that was going on ). I asked for documents showing where I had permitted them to apply for financial aid, how I was charged for a program when I had already completed the program, and why were documents showing where I was charged for the program when we were told back in XXXX that we would not be charged because of the separation from the school and the loss of accreditation. 
I filed a complaint with the Department of Education about the school and nothing was reported back. The school closed due to fraudulent activity, and they could not show students accreditation and no credits could be transferred to another institution due to mishandling of student information.

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


XXXX XXXX XXXX, 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!

Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :
