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/updated. 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.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> ( XX/XX/year> ) XXXX XXXX XXXX  ran a XXXX inquiry for a home loan without my authorization. I was told by XXXX XXXX several times in writing that her company WILL NOT run a Hard inquiry until we had finalized the loan, her company runs soft credit checks to gather information. 

I filled out a VA home loan request in which XXXX XXXX XXXX ran a hard inquiry for an FHA loan, then her company ran my credit again making that XXXX hard credit pulls without ANY authorization! I was told by XXXX XXXX she would have those hard inquiries removed and she never did. 

I requested a copy of the report her company pulled, and she refused to send me that information as well as refusing to give me the rates for the FHA loan her company put together when she ran my credit for the first time without authorization. 

I had a co-worker recommend XXXX XXXX XXXX  to me because he used this company for his XXXX XXXXXXXX loan. I was told by XXXX XXXX XXXX  they had ran my credit. I was very upset, I told them I was VERY upset and told them I was busy, I would call them back when I got off the phone with the VA. 

During that time XXXX XXXX discussed MY Home Loan information, my details, my credit worthiness and personal information with my co-worker again without my authorization. Then this company told me to go with another mortgage company and refused to assist me anymore after they had violated my trust, my private personal information and hurt my credit. 

I am requesting that the Hard inquires on Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX be removed from my credit report for the following reasons : XXXX. This hard inquiry was Unauthorized. 
XXXX. This company gave out personal information to a third party without authorization. 
XXXX. This company refused to give me the results of the inquiry. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX  refused to remove hard inquires from All three ( XXXX ) credit bureaus when requested. 

A. 1 inquiry on XXXX XX/XX/year>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXnquiry on Equifax XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX inquiry on Equifax XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX inquiries on XXXX XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year> I have requested the XXXX and mortgage information 7 times with XXXX XXXX, and she has refused or given an excuse every time. She has not given me the numbers they ran that day. 

To qualify for a VA XXXX XXXX I needed a credit score of XXXX, I had the credit score, even if I didn't qualify for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX  should have contacted me so I could have authorized a hard pull on my credit to see if I wanted to use a FHA XXXX and give up all the benefit 's XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has to offer and to give up what I fought hard to earn. I didn't suffer in XXXX to have my XXXX loan thrown aside because your employee made a mistake, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is a lot better than a FHA XXXX. It just doesn't make sense what your company tried to do.
