Complaint narrative:
I had an account at south state Bank. I applied for a advertising money making opportunity online. It was the mountaindew advertising program. They payed you to basically drive your car around with their logo affixed on it for a specific period of months for ( x ) amount of dollars. I recieved the packet of info in the mail along with a printed check that also had hographic materials imbededin the check. I then deposited the check. I waited for the normal process of deposited as well as I followed every single step to comply with agreed terms and conditions of the agreement to have an installer meet with me to apply a mountain dew vinyl decal on my vehical as agreed. The bank employee had advised me of the possibilities of a fraudulent situation. I then asked for advice. I followed the exact advice given. Including forwarding all information to the sherrifs department. We the bank employee was correct about the fraudulent situation amd led to the bank labeling me in a fraud case. The sheriffs department ignored me completely. The bank closed my account. All together i was never covered for any services rendered in any way but in fact had a huge burden placed on me as well as complete embarasment through the whole process. As if I don't already have enough going on in my life. I have all supporting documents on hand if needed.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, MA XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Date : XX/XX/XXXX I'm writing to dispute a late payment and credit inquiries reported on my credit report for my former account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( Partial Account Number : XXXX ). The account is currently closed. 

A late payment was reported on XX/XX/XXXX, but this was due to an annual fee I wasnt aware of. As soon as I saw the charge, I paid it right awaybefore it reached 31 days past due. Ive always made my payments on time, and this one-time situation was resolved quickly. 

However, the late mark has remained on my credit report, and no updates have been made. Additionally, this incident led to XXXX hard inquiries being added to my report, which I believe is excessive and damaging. 

I respectfully request the following : That the late payment be reviewed and either corrected to reflect an on-time status or removed entirely if it was reported in error. 
That the related inquiries be removed from my report, as they were tied to a one-time issue that was addressed promptly. 
If you believe the late payment is accurate, please provide supporting documentation showing the charge date, due date, and when it was paid. If that can not be provided, I kindly ask that the late mark and related inquiries be removed. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
