Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA XXXX Code XXXX since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I found an inaccurate late payment reported by FIFTH THIRD BANK NA. I have a consistent history of on-time payments, and I believe this negative mark is the direct result of procedural errors and incorrect information provided to me by the bank. 

The issue began when a partial credit was not applied correctly to my mortgage. When I was notified of the resulting shortfall, I immediately made an online payment to cover the remaining balance. I then called the bank and was assured that my recent payment would be combined with the existing credit to satisfy the full mortgage payment. 

However, this combination was not applied. Instead, the bank initiated a return of the unapplied credit. Upon discovering this, I called the bank a second time and was told a stop order would be issued to prevent the credit from being returned. This stop order was also not processed, and the funds were returned. 

As a direct result of the bank 's failure to combine the payments and its subsequent failure to stop the return, the full balance was not rectified within the XXXX period. This was not due to a lack of payment on my part, but due to the bank 's internal errors. 

I am requesting a full investigation and verification of this reported late payment. If you are unable to provide sufficient evidence of its validity, I demand that the inaccurate information be removed from my credit file and that my record be updated to reflect accurate reporting.

The fair resolution is the permanent deletion and blocking of all fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries listed in my complaint, as required under FCRA and related federal laws. I expect a corrected and updated credit report, along with written confirmation that these items have been removed. This must be completed within the legally required timeframe. 

If this resolution is not provided, I will have no choice but to escalate by filing formal complaints with the CFPB, FTC, XXXX and the Attorneys General, and I am prepared to pursue legal action for statutory and actual damages as allowed under the FCRA.

Last Complaint ID : XXXX. 

I have attached all the evidence showing exactly the opposite of what Indigo claims. Yes, there was an ad stating high limit, and yes, there were multiple pages stating will not harm my credit, that it was a soft pull. Again, I affirm there was no approval request for a hard inquiry, and this was a false advertisement inducing me to open a credit card. Once more, I called the support number with no solution provided. Please, I ask to review the Compaint XXXX and really consider my screenshots with photos and evidence that do not match Indigos letter . Which agency should I file a dispute with to request the removal of this hard inquiry? since Indigo just igonere the proofs and no really have a answer to my situation.
