Company: First Technology Federal Credit Union
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I contacted the company around XX/XX/XXXX to request a XXXX extension for the next upcoming payment due to an injury at work and pending XXXX pay. The agent informed on a recorded line that if I paid a {$15.00} late fee, the extension would be approved until the XX/XX/XXXX payment due date. On the XX/XX/XXXX payment date the payment was automatically debited from my checking account and I resumed monthly payments thereafter with no delay. When I checked my credit reports in XX/XX/XXXX I noticed a late payment was listed for the account. I called member services and asked why the late status was listed if I was approved for a XXXX extension. The agents stated the extension was not correctly labeled in my account. I asked for the issue to be corrected. I checked my credit again in XX/XX/XXXX and now there is a second late payment reported on the account ( for a total of XXXX late payments ). I checked my XXXX bank statement and all payments from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX and from XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX have been automatically debited from my account as agreed. The company has failed to correct the information and is fraudulently charging a {$15.00} late fee on my account every month for the past XXXX months despite automatically withdrawing the payment amount monthly.

Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This company 5th 3rd bank ruined my credit. I made an immediate payment on a XXXX charge from my bank payment information entered by them 8 months before. The payment was returned because the account number was wrong. I got no letter of returned payment in the mail. No letter of a late payment in the mail after due date. No letter of auto payment ceased because letter was only available online which I had no access to. I did a complaint with better business bureau but it was not resolved. By the time I found out about a late payment it was past 30 days and reported to credit bureau. 5th 3rd bank was aware and told me I could not access my account on line as I had no computer only a XXXX app. They mailed a form to be completed by my bank. They said the account number was wrong. I am a senior and this bank has repeatedly not sent proper notification or mailed documents to me. They ruined my perfect credit because they didnt properly notify me of any late payment.

Issue: Communication tactics — Called before 8am or after 9pm
Company: CONGRESS COLLECTION CORP
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XXXXXX/XX/year>, I received a phone call from a debt collection company ( Congress Collection ) at XXXX XXXX, which is outside of the legally allowed hours for debt collection calls under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). The FDCPA specifies that debt collectors can not contact me before XXXX XXXX  or after XXXX XXXX  in my time zone. 

This call is a violation of my consumer rights, and I consider the companys actions to be unfair and harassing. I am requesting that this issue be addressed, and that Congress Collection stop contacting me at inappropriate times. Additionally, due to this harassment, I would like to explore the possibility of either having the debt erased or taking legal action for damages if this behavior continues. 

I also have a screenshot of the time and number of the call, which I am happy to provide as evidence if necessary. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
