Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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.

EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION 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!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: FAIR COLLECTIONS & OUTSOURCING, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a {$540.00} collection account reported by Fair Collections & Outsourcing on behalf of XXXX XXXX ( Rental/Leasing ). This debt is inaccurate and should be removed from my credit report immediately because : I never had a direct financial agreement with XXXX XXXX. My lease and all payments were made to XXXX XXXX ( the property management company ), not XXXX XXXX. 
My rental account with XXXX XXXX was paid in full and closed before this charge was reported. My credit file shows a final payment of {$1600.00} on XX/XX/year>, with no outstanding balance. 
The collection agency has not provided any documentation to verify the debt. I have not received any proof that this amount is valid, nor any evidence that XXXX XXXX had the right to assign this debt to collections. 
Despite these facts, this debt is still being reported and negatively impacting my credit.

Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I purchased a used car that is financed through Credit Acceptance ( dealership is XXXX  XXXX XXXX ). The dealer was adamant that I needed to purchase the extended warranty ( service contract ) along with Gap insurance totaling {$4500.00} for Credit Acceptance to finalize deal. The very next day I spoke with Credit Acceptance who informed that I did not need to purchase those added products and sent me copies of both contracts since the dealership failed to do so because it is clearly in bold letters on contracts that I did not need to purchase. I requested to cancel the extended warranty which credit acceptance did but it will fall off of the back of the loan, therefore wont change payment amount or etc and has not changed the loan amount after deducting warranty {$2900.00}. The interest rate is 23.9 % which violates Loan interest protection law by charging usurious interest rates to Pennsylvanians. They also increased price of vehicle at dealership to pass along fees to Credit Acceptance, XXXX to XXXX.
