Company: BOEING EMPLOYEES' CREDIT UNION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
We paid off the remaining balance on our auto loan in XXXX of XXXX. The balance due after we made the final payment showed as {$0.00} on the account, therefore we believed we were done paying it off entirely. However, after paying off the loan entirely there was an Account Payoff charge of {$35.00} that was added to our account that we were not aware of. As a result, we incurred a XXXX XXXX XXXX of {$5.00}. When we became aware of the late fee in XXXX of XXXX, we contacted our bank lender about this issue on our account and they explained that the amount due had been because of a Transfer of XXXX fee. They were understanding about us being unaware of a final charge and had therefore waived the XXXX XXXX XXXX fee. We thought the situation was resolved. However, we noticed this still shows up as a 'late payment ' on our credit report which has resulted in a significant drop in our XXXX XXXX. We are requesting a courtesy deletion to have this late payment removed from our credit report due to the circumstances and our reason for paying late.

I sent a detailed letter regarding, what I believe, to be incorrect reporting 's on my credit report. I have yet to receive any update or correspondence from them, and I believe that this is a stall tactic from them. 
I know that they receive compensation for reporting information and If they have to delete items, it will affect their income, thus I believe that they are not reporting correctly.

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a mortgage loan in XX/XX/XXXX, and because the lender did not get information about my credit report, we discovered that my social security number is wrong in Experian. 

I have a Credit card from XXXX ( XXXX account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), and the banker filled my request with a typo in my SSN. The problem happens in the second and third numbers. 
The correct number is XXXX, however, the banker filled XXXX. I have tried reaching out the Experian since last year and every time that I request my numbers they just provide me XXXX. I sent certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX to all 3 credit bureaus ( Experian, XXXX, and XXXX ) to fix the typo in my SSN but none of them gave me the entire information. 

I continued applying for loans and credit cards and all my applications were denied because of these types of mistakes. I am not able to build my credit or get a loan to buy an appliance because of this typo in my SSN.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I sent a letter to Citibank to re-activate my savings account. I also requested that my account is to be closed and to send a check to my address.
