Complaint ID: 8200302

Date Received: 2024-01-23

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Consumer Complaint: I believe there has been a mistake in my account billing for Account Number : XXXX, for the auto XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have a late payment of longer than 30 days in my credit score report. However, when reviewing my account I discontinued automatic payments in XX/XX/XXXX. I made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX that went to the Principal instead of the Monthly Payment. This was an error in billing, I did pay the amount of {$590.00} in XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX took in the amount to pay for the principal. I consider this fraud. I then on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX did a double monthly payment of {$1200.00} as I noticed that you had not taken in my XX/XX/XXXX payment towards my monthly payment. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX multiple times regarding this error by phone before the 6 month limitation in billing changes per their policies took place, but I never received a positive response. We can look at phone recordings to verify. I believe this is a billing error and I should not have a 30 day late payment flag in my credit report since this institution received the monthly amount on time, but failed to bill it as a monthly payment. In reality this institution received 3 payments from me totalling {$1800.00} in the period from XXXX to XXXX and still received a derogatory mark from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. which I respect, but which made a billing error that cost me a significant drop in my credit score. Please note that I am willing to dispute this at the Credit Bureau level since this is the only bad mark in my credit report, since this is a billing error, not a denial to pay from my side. I clearly made 3 payments in that period when only two were needed in my pay schedule. Thank you for your time and attention. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX
