Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that this item is being reported correctly? Who verified this item? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA. 

Since you claim youve verified the items listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the companies directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ITEMS? I believe you have not verified these items based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Company: FREEDOM FINANCIAL NETWORK

Complaint narrative:
Over charging fees for services and changes terms of agreement. They pulled my credit and said I was to have biweekly payment of {$100.00}. Then they removed one account from my debts and increase my biweekly payment. Then biweekly payment increased yet again. In the past 30 days the fees collected exceeded the payments made in past 30 day. They have funds in a dedicated account but negotiated one account to be paid over 10 months for {$220.00} so they can collect fees and not pay off debt.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 reported in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX to be removed. 

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 XXXX  days before the payment due date. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX days after I made the required monthly payment of {$500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, I called Santander and asked if I could make an additional payment for {$500.00} towards the principle. They said I could and even helped me go online to make the payment. I asked several times during the call and was promised that the payment would go entirely towards the principle. It did not. On the XXXX I called them back to show that the statement reflected the payment of {$470.00} towards the principle and {$21.00} went towards the interest. They connected me to a supervisor who promised to return the {$21.00} to the principle. As of today XXXX they have not adjusted the {$21.00}. There is no option on the website to make a payment solely towards the principle. The seems like a scam to rip their customers off. I was told by Santander that if i made additional payment on dates other than the date due I would have interest taken out of extra payments even if I didn't want them to do it. They claim I would have to call each time I did that to get the interest refunded. This is fraudulent behavior as I am paying towards my principle and clearly stating I don't want any of it applied towards the interest. Who can I contact to claim fraud by Santander or do I need to go to small claims court?
