Experian along with XXXX and XXXX all have improperly reported a late payment on an open ended credit plan without formally providing me written notice of the options I as the consumer can exercise to opt out of this information being reported.

Also, the reporting of the late payment is also in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1666b - Timing of payments which states : ( 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 Saturday XX/XX/2023, around XXXX XXXX XXXX I received a call from SAFCO a rep named XXXX. I was told the call was being recorded and I also told XXXX I was recording the call and since there was no rebuttal from her, we continued with the call. She was calling about a late payment. I just happen to forget paying it and that made it XXXX  day past the due date which is the XXXX of the month, although I told her it would be paid before the day ends. I asked about a grace period and was told that there is no grace period. However, businesses are supposed to have a grace period ( XXXX  days ) according to my research. Since SAFCO is in Florida, Florida law pertaining to grace periods on a used auto loan is centered around Florida 's XXXX grace period. 

Now According to 15 U.S. Code Sec.1692d A debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt. Therefore, I am making this complaint because it is XXXX.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
As a first-time home buyer in XXXX, Wells Fargo advised me to take a balloon mortgage as a second mortgage instead of PMI. I did not understand what a balloon mortgage was and trusted their advice. They said I could refinance and roll the balloon mortgage into my primary mortgage in a couple of years. Every couple of years, I tried refinancing and they said I was unable to refinance. They also said they were not familiar with balloon mortgages and were unable to assist. Every time I called for help or visited a Wells Fargo office, they told me they were unfamiliar with balloon mortgages, or they no longer offer them and were unable to help me. I even had one lady at an office say she did not have my phone number and that is why I was never contacted about refinancing ( my phone number was clearly listed on my account ). I also requested an amortization schedule in which they showed my mortgage as a conventional loan ( see attached ). Then they said that the amortization schedule was an error and they made a mistake. Loan Origination : XX/XX/XXXX Loan Amount : {$46000.00} Loan Interest : XXXX XXXX Maturity Date : XX/XX/XXXX Amount paid on this loan to date {$55000.00} Balance today : {$37000.00} The balloon mortgage has now reached its maturity and I am unable to pay the balance and I can not afford to refinance and pay this off. This has been very frustrating and a huge financial burden on my life. Balloon mortgage loans should be forgiven for first-time home buyers and illegal in general. 
1. In XXXX of XXXX, Wells Fargo representative said I could refinance the second mortgage into a single mortgage in a few years and that is what most people do. As a first time home buyer, I did not know better and took their advice. Wells Fargo records all phone calls, I would like to obtain the recordings and transcripts from XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. Please provide. 2. In XXXX of XXXX, the Wells Fargo representative also described the loan as a credit card. At that time, I was in the habit of paying off my credit card balances every month. I understood the loan to be a simple loan. Again, Wells Fargo records all phone calls and I would like to obtain recordings and transcripts from XXXX and XXXX of XXXX.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I received a debit card from Bank of America in the mail ( XX/XX/23 ). I do not have a checking or savings account with them. I did not open an account with them. I was shocked when a new debit card showed up in my name for an account I did not open. When I called Bank of America automated phone service it says the checking account balance that I did not open up is {$0.00}. Someone who has access to my private information opened an account at Bank of America without my permission. Our mortgage is through Bank of America so I believe the bank opened this account as I have zero fraudulent activity on my credit report. Looking through my email I found an email dated XX/XX/23 congratulating me on opening an account ( that I did not open )! Im sure when I saw the email I assumed it was a phishing scam. Something weird is going on at Bank of America. I am very upset.

I am aware of my rights and understand if I pay any collection whether owed or not, it will not help my credit score.
