Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I made my usual payment, which I typically schedule to be withdrawn on the day my paycheck is deposited into my account. This has worked seamlessly for me in the past, as the funds from my paycheck are available at the time the payment is processed. However, I was surprised to find that this particular ACH payment was returned, which has caused me significant confusion and concern. 
Despite having spoken with several representatives, none were able to provide a clear explanation for why this transaction was treated differently from my previous payments. I want to emphasize that I have consistently made payments in this manner without any issues arising, as my funds are available immediately upon deposit. 
As a result of this returned payment, I am now facing complications with my credit card usage. I have already made purchases with the card, and the returned payment has led to a situation where the charges and the payment effectively cancel each other out. I am worried about the potential repercussions, including the possibility that my credit card issuer may restrict payment methods, delay or hold future payments, or even close my account altogether.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you as the holder of LEASE account number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to report an issue negatively impacting my credit report that appears to be in violation of the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1666b, as well as other relevant sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements, including all information required by section 1637 ( b ), at least 21 days before the payment due date. This requirement ensures that consumers have sufficient time to receive, review, and make necessary payments without being unfairly penalized for late payments.

Additionally, the FCRA, specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files. 

I have identified that the statements for my Lease have not been delivered in compliance with these requirements, resulting in the appearance of late payments on my credit report. This non-compliance has adversely affected my credit score.

I formally request that you investigate and correct any inaccurate information related to these late payments on my credit report. Below are the details of the affected payments : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX OK OK I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter to rectify any errors in my credit report. I am willing to provide any additional documentation necessary for your investigation. 

I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the actions taken to correct this information and ensure compliance with the relevant regulations.
