My account with 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.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I have an inaccurate late payment for XX/XX/year> being reported on my credit file by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This late payment resulted from the furnishers internal payment processing error, not my failure to pay. I made payments on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/year>, using correct banking information. 
XXXX XXXX  has acknowledged in writing ( via XXXX  response dated XX/XX/year> ) that the funds were never withdrawn from my account not due to insufficient funds, but because their system claimed my bank account could not be located. My bank has confirmed no payment pulls were even attempted. I was never notified by the creditor about these returned payments, and I was assured by their customer service that I would not be reported late. 

Despite this, Experian is continuing to report the XX/XX/year> late payment. I have disputed the account twice with Experian, providing the XXXX  response and bank confirmation. Both disputes came back verified within XXXX week suggesting Experian relied solely on the furnishers statement without performing a reasonable reinvestigation as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681i of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 US Code 1666B 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.

Complaint narrative:
Upon notification by my case manager in XX/XX/year> that my XXXX payroll check for {$580.00} had been fraudulently cashed on XX/XX/year>, at Easy Money store # XXXX located at XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, AL, I promptly took action by filing a police report and contacting Easy Moneys corporate office to seek resolution. Initially, the corporate office informed me they could not locate the check in their system. Upon further investigation, including presenting my police report and check copy to the store staff, it was confirmed that the individual who cashed the fraudulent check is still engaging in similar fraudulent activities, including at another Easy Money location. Despite this, Easy Moneys corporate representatives declined to issue a refund, citing that the check had already been deposited and was linked to the thiefs account within their system. Furthermore, the issuer of the check has refused to issue a replacement, insisting that Easy Money is responsible for refunding the amount. I have acted diligently and in a timely manner to resolve this matter ; however, Easy Moneys failure to adequately address and prevent this ongoing fraud has resulted in significant financial loss and frustration.
