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

FLORIDA XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX AND 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!

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Inaccuracy in Payment History Reporting Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX, I hope this letter finds you well. Im writing to bring to your attention an inaccuracy I noticed in the payment history reported by your institution to the credit reporting agencies. Specifically, there are errors in how my payments are being recorded, which are negatively impacting my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), codified at 15 U.S. Code 1681 et seq., there are specific rules and protections in place for consumers like me to ensure the accuracy of credit reports. Here are a few key sections that apply : 1. 15 U.S. Code 1681i : This section describes the process for disputing inaccurate information. Once a dispute is made, the credit reporting agency is required to investigate and respond within 30 days.

2. 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 : As a furnisher of information, XXXX XXXX XXXX is responsible for providing accurate data to the credit bureaus. If there are any errors, you are required by law to correct them. 

3. FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Mandates the accuracy, completeness, and fairness of information reported by credit bureaus.

4. FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 2 ) : Requires an investigation by the credit bureau upon receiving a dispute from a consumer.

5. FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) : Mandates the removal of information that can not be verified or is found to be inaccurate Given these protections, I kindly ask that you review the reported payment history associated with my account and remove any inaccuracies. If you need further details or documentation to complete your review, please do not hesitate to reach out.

I would also like to remind you of additional consumer protections under laws like the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), which ensures clear and accurate disclosure of credit terms, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which regulates how financial institutions handle consumer debt.

Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust this can be resolved quickly, and I look forward to your confirmation that the necessary corrections have been made. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing the complaint because this is the second time this has happened since XXXX. On XX/XX/year> XXXX received 3 Postal Money orders @ {$1000.00} ( {$3000.00} total ) all of which had my account # and " Apply to Principle only '' in the memo field. Instead of applying it to principle, they applied it as a payment even though I was already paid through XXXX. After telling me it would be taken care of within 5-7 days, it wasn't until XX/XX/XXXX that the correction was made. Lesson learned and I now make copies of all checks and money orders I send them. Now, fast forward to XX/XX/year> and this time it was check for {$1500.00} that was marked in the memo field " For Principle Only '', and again, I'm paid through XXXX and they applied it again as a regular payment. 
I called again and was told it would be corrected in 2 days this time. 

As far as I'm concerned this is a practice they use to increase their profitability by continuing to charge interest on money that should have been paid down. If it happened to me twice in such a short period of time, who knows how many people they are doing this to and if the people are checking their accounts and even know what's happening to them. Since XXXX I am borrowing money and aggressively paying this mortgage off just to get away from this bank.
