This matter has been escalated repeatedly via written communication, supporting documentation, and telephone calls including calls with representatives XXXX ( # XXXX ) and XXXX ( # XXXX ).

The XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX failed to capture this change, resulting in misapplied or rejected payments for XXXX and XXXX. 

I submitted multiple payments from my XXXX account which had sufficient funds and contacted representatives immediately upon learning of the issue. 

Your agents confirmed my account was current in XXXX and reversed associated late fees. 

Nevertheless, XXXX XXXX late payments were reported to XXXX XXXX, and TransUnion, XXXX in a catastrophic drop in my XXXX XXXX during escrow. 

Your XX/XX/year> XXXX of Mortgage ( XXXX ) reflects only XXXX late payment creating a direct contradiction with the XXXX data.

XXXXXXXX XXXX refusal to issue a clarifying statement or reconcile internal vs. external records constitutes a failure to investigate, and XXXX rise to willful noncompliance actionable under FCRA 1681n/o. 

XXXX. Damages Already Incurred A XXXX XXXX drop of more than XXXX points, confirmed across all three bureaus. 

Threat of failed escrow and loss of {$25000.00} XXXX deposit on a pending home purchase.
