Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX  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 XX/XX/year> 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. 


XXXXXXXX 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

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Private mortgage insurance (PMI)
Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the handling of my mortgage account with FNB. Specifically, I have encountered significant challenges in attempting to have Private Mortgage Insurance ( PMI ) removed from my account despite meeting the necessary criteria. I been trying to get private mortgage removed I'm well under my 80 % and they said I couldn't because I wasn't last year now that I made many extra payments and some large payment to my principle balance and have reach under 80 % I wrote them XXXX  times again throughout the year to get it removed and now they are saying I had XXXX late payment I am XXXX years ahead of my mortgage term as I looked over my Amortization Schedule, they are saying it can't be removed until XXXX, I feel they are holding me capture against my will to get this resolved if this is there policy for a late payment someone needs to do something I can see if a person had multiple lates if this is true, they didn't even offer to reappraised my property because they are robbing people to keep that insurance on their mortgages I did my part keeping my mortgage current. According to the terms of my mortgage agreement, PMI is required until the loan-to-value ratio reaches below 80 %. I recently took substantial efforts to reduce my principal balance, which has effectively brought my loan-to-value ratio well below the required threshold of 80 %. Despite this achievement, I have encountered resistance from FNB in having the PMI removed promptly. This severely impedes my ability to proceed with the PMI removal process and save myself some funds. This situation is highly frustrating and disappointing, especially given my proactive efforts to manage my mortgage. The continued requirement to pay PMI unfairly burdens me financially. I hope FNB rectify this issue immediately by : Initiating the process to remove PMI from my mortgage account based on the current loan-to-value ratio, which is well below 80 %. I trust that FNB will take swift action to address and resolve this issue satisfactorily for the sake of fairness to the consumer.

I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX Hello and Good day to you! 

Below is a copy my XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) Compliant # XXXX, filed in XX/XX/XXXX. The Company - " The Law Firm of Derek Williams, LLC - formerly XXXX  XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX  XXXX '' - basically ignored my requests for information on how they applied over $ XXXX of money received from me over XXXX years of payments to resolve my debt on XXXX credit cards. The BBB Complaint was left unresolved, as a result. 

As a result, of their FRAUD and theft over 1 years, I received XXXX separate Writ of Summons from the Court for the original debts on each credit card account from 2 years ago, plus interest! It appears that they NEVER paid any money towards resolving neither debt, and kept over $ XXXX of my money. Additionally, there is currently XXXX XXXX on my home and there may be another, as Ive just received the XXXX Writ of Summons for the XXXX credit card debt. 

XXXX Complaint # XXXX Monday, XX/XX/XXXX Good Afternoon, Please refer to the attached file " The Law Firm of Derek Williams , LLC - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX '' for details regarding my complaint which was delivered to the party by registered mail on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX. As you will read, I requested a response from them in 30 days - which has passed without ANY response whatsoever! Due to the identified party 's negligence to help me satisfy XXXX credit card debt accounts, with them acting as Debt Consolidation Specialists for over XXXX and a half years, I was issued a Court order to appear in court for XXXX of my XXXX delinquent accounts. I am writing to you today and asking your help to 1 ) getting my money refunded to me, 2 ) to get a status on the account they were paying toward resolving and 3 ) to get a detailed account on how they utilized the payments they received from me over that time. 
Please help me get some resolution as I STILL have the accounts to resolve payments on my own after ALL THIS TIME WASTED BY THEM WITHOUT ANY SUBSTANTIAL FORWARD MOVEMENT TO RESOLVE THE DEBTS! 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX
