Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing about my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  ( MySynchrony.com ). I am not sure this is something you can help with but I thought I would check. 
We have used the card for years with no problems and make our payments in full every month. We have recently received notice been that in order to continue using the card, we would be required to pay a monthly fee of {$1.00} to continue getting paper billing statements and the ability to make payments using personal checks. If we choose not to do this, we are being given an option of giving them our bank account number and either set up automatic payments or be allowed to make manual transfers from our bank to pay the bill each month. 
What I would like to know is this legitimate? Can they really do this? I dont feel comfortable giving my bank account to any entity unless it is a critical necessity ( mortgage, etc. ). Please advise. Thank you.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. 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 in XX/XX/2021 to be removed. 

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. 


XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
