Complaint narrative:
I paid my XXXX truck payment on XXXX XXXX I paid my XX/XX/2023 truck loan payment early on XX/XX/2023, I paid my XXXX payment early on my truck loan with XXXXXXXX XXXX. I paid my XXXX payment on XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX is showing my payments as on time and no payments missed or late ever. I have had this loan for 2 years and have never been late or missed a payment. My payments are due the XXXX of the month. 
So, I paid my all my payments on time. 
I noticed a decrease in my credit score. It went down about XXXX points, from about XXXX and disputed it with both XXXX and Equifax. XXXX still shows me at a credit score over XXXX The dispute response states they " assume my balance increased due to a possible missed a payment. '' My balance shows as going up from my prior double payment in XXXX. The balance goes down but they add interest. It just never shows up to the credit reporting agencies because of interest on the loan is buried in the balance due. 
I dispute their determination and have been severely penalized by their faulty rating system. All I did was make a payment one day early and their system decided inaccurately that I missed a payment. Their logic is faulty. My payment history is excellent on all my loans and bills. 
It seems unfair and unethical to drop my score by a very large amount without just cause. 
XXXX points on XX/XX/2023 Balance Increased XXXX XXXX XXXX account balance increased Between XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023, your XXXX XXXX XXXX automotive account balance increased by {$160.00} " It looks like your balance went up. This could be the result of a missed payment, which can have a negative effect on your score. Your total debt also typically factors into your credit score, so it's best to keep it low if you can.

Complaint narrative:
NFCU - Credit card Subject : Explanation of Inability to Open an Account due to Confinement Dear NFCU, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a recent matter concerning an account application that appears to have been initiated under my name. I would like to clarify that I did not open an account with NFCU during the specified time frame due to extenuating circumstances that rendered me unable to do so. 

The application in question seems to have been submitted on XX/XX/2016. I must emphasize that during the period surrounding that date, I was in confinement and faced significant limitations in my ability to engage in any activities outside of my immediate living space. 

The nature of my confinement was such that I did not have access to the necessary resources, including internet access and physical documentation, required to open a new account. Moreover, my location was not conducive to such activities, making it logistically impossible for me to initiate any account-related procedures. 

I understand the importance of accurate record-keeping and the need for thorough investigations in matters like these. I kindly request that you conduct a comprehensive review of the application details and consider the circumstances I have outlined. It is my hope that this clarification will allow you to confirm my assertion that I did not open the account mentioned in your records. 

If there are any additional steps or documentation required from my end to support this claim, please do not hesitate to inform me. I am more than willing to cooperate fully to resolve this matter promptly. 

I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this regard. It is my earnest hope that we can swiftly resolve any discrepancies and rectify the situation. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
