My account with DEPT OF EDUCATIONXXXXXXXX XXXX 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 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. 

DEPT OF EDUCATIONXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX 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:
I am submitting this complaint regarding U.S. Bank 's inaccurate reporting of my mortgage account as delinquent, which has caused significant damage to my credit score. 

I was approved for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) forbearance plan by U.S. Bank starting in XX/XX/XXXX, due to financial hardship. This forbearance plan covered the months from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. I was not required to make mortgage payments during this time as per the terms of the forbearance. 

However, despite this approved forbearance, U.S. Bank has reported my account as 180 days delinquent as of XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX for the payment due on XX/XX/XXXX. This delinquency reporting is inaccurate because I was not obligated to make that payment under the forbearance agreement. My account was protected under the forbearance, and therefore no payments were missed during this period. 

As a result of this incorrect reporting, my credit score dropped drastically by XXXX pointsfrom XXXX to XXXX. This has had a severe negative impact on my ability to access credit, undermining my financial stability during a time when I am working to recover from previous hardships. 

I have already communicated with U.S. Bank and requested that they correct the credit reporting. Unfortunately, they have refused to amend the reported delinquency, despite the fact that I was under a valid forbearance plan. Their response fails to acknowledge that the delinquency is a misrepresentation of the facts, as I was not required to make the payments they are reporting as past due. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and require U.S. Bank to correct the credit reporting to accurately reflect that I did not miss any payments during the forbearance period. It is essential that this incorrect delinquency be removed from my credit report to restore my credit score and financial standing. 

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for a Pottery Barn ( Capitol One ) credit card specifically to take advantage of their 12 month 0 % interest offer. It was not made clear to me at any stage of the purchase that I had to select that offer vs a competing offer for " rewards. '' Upon getting the ability to log in to my account I set a recurring payment that would cover the total in 12 months. Luckily I logged in a few months later to double check everything was right, and I see I've been being charged interest.

Upon calling in they insist I " chose '' the rewards options and are refusing to remove the interest and future interest for the duration. I've called in and written and done everything I feel is possible through the Capital One and Pottery Barn channels. They are refusing to make the changes.

You'll note in the attached email that I didnt contact customer service sooner - this is obviously because I had set a recurring payment and felt I didnt need to log in until the 12 months was up! 

I did not elect for rewards vs 0 % interest at any time and would not have signed up for a new credit card had I not been led to believe I'd receive 0 % interest. This seems to be a classic bait and switch that in my mind amounts to fraud.

Complaint narrative:
Re : Dispute of Charge-Off Account under the CARES Act, FCRA, and TILA Account Number : XXXX Creditor Name : XXXX Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally file a complaint against XXXX for inaccurately reporting a charge-off account on my credit report. This action is inconsistent with the protections established under the CARES Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 

CARES Act During the national emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, I applied for and was approved for a financial relief program provided by XXXX. Under the CARES Act, creditors were required to provide payment deferrals or modifications and report the accounts in a favorable status while participating in these programs. Despite complying with the terms of the program, my account was marked as charge-off, which is a violation of this law. 

Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) According to the FCRA, creditors and credit reporting agencies are required to report accurate information. Reporting my account as charge-off is incorrect and unfairly damaging my credit history. I am requesting the CFPBs intervention to ensure that this error is properly investigated and that the charge-off status is removed from my credit report. 

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to provide clear and accurate information regarding credit terms and any modifications to them. I was not properly informed by XXXX about how the relief program would impact my account or how the status of the account would be reported to the credit bureaus. This lack of transparency is a violation of my rights under TILA.

Request Therefore, I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and require XXXX  to remove the charge-off status from my credit report, as the information is inaccurate. I am attaching supporting documents that show I was part of a financial relief program and that this charge-off classification is incorrect. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and trust that you will take the necessary actions to rectify this situation, protecting my rights as a consumer. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
