Complaint narrative:
My account with ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and 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 reported in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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 21 days before the payment due date. 


( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 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:
" 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.

Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.. 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.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Negative impact of inaccurate appraisal
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I was pre-approved for a loan at a set amount and interest rate by Discover Home Loans. 

On XX/XX/2024, the loan came back for less than expected and with a higher interest rate due to the valuation, which did not include an ADU ( additional dwelling unit ) on our property. I submitted a form for reappraisal, specifically noting the error. 

On XX/XX/2024, I was asked for information on the ADU, to which I responded. 

On XX/XX/ 2024, I received the new appraisal, which had decreased by {$35000.00} instead of increasing as expected. Upon review, I saw that the new appraisal not only ignored the ADU but also decreased our bedroom count by XXXX, our bathroom count by XXXX, and our square footage by over XXXX sqft. I could not find county documentation of the room makeup but provided information on the ADU and corrected square footage. I asked how these erroneous changes were made on this " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' appraisal but received no response. I sent a second request for a correct appraisal, noting the errors. On multiple occasions, I mentioned I was open to an in-home appraisal to correct these errors. 

On XX/XX/ 2024, I received the new appraisal, which, as far as I could tell, was the exact same one with just {$10000.00} added to the value. No errors were corrected, and the ADU was not included. I asked more questions about why the errors were not corrected and expressed my frustration. I was requesting a very clear and simple correction that was being ignored. On XXXX XXXX, 2024, I was assured it would be looked into and that I would receive a response. 

On XX/XX/2024, I was informed that no further adjustments to the house value would be made and that I had to accept or reject the loan at the elevated interest rate. Given my clear and simple points to correct the appraisal, and considering the insertion of errors in their favor that did not exist before, followed by their refusal to correct them, I suspect this is not incompetence but a deliberate method intended to unfairly raise interest rates.

Company: Remitly, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Certainly, here are additional lines addressing the inconsistencies and lack of communication from Remitly : Moreover, I am appalled by the glaring inconsistencies in Remitly 's responses to my inquiries. Initially, one agent affirmed that the account number provided was accurate, only for another agent to contradict this statement by claiming that the last four digits did not match. Now, I am being informed that the entire account number I entered is incorrect. This raises several alarming questions. Firstly, why was I not promptly informed of this discrepancy on the very first day? Secondly, why is there a constant shift in Remitly 's stance on the matter? Thirdly, if indeed the account number was incorrect and did not match the associated name and phone number I provided, why was the transaction not halted at that crucial juncture? What is the purpose of collecting personal information such as name and phone number if Remitly 's protocols fail to prevent such errors and discrepancies? It is evident that Remitly 's processes are deeply flawed, and their actionsor lack thereofhave only compounded the issue, exacerbating my frustration and distress.
