Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: To whom it may concern Im reaching out to you to get some type of resolution for my XXXX XXXX by XXXX XXXX. I have been dealing with this issue for over 2 years and I hope you can assist. During the XXXX pandemic I received notification from several credit card companies including XXXX XXXX XXXX assist users affected by the crisis and how they were there to assist. I had the card for a year or so with on time payment history. I reached out to XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX to obtain assistance from the said company above. I explained to them that I was not able to make my monthly payment that month due to reduction of hours and wanted to be placed on the program that will prevent me from going 30 days past due. My credit is one of my top priorities, so I wanted to be proactive with this beforehand. I spoke with a representative who advised they could assist and to make sure I dont go into delinquency. To my surprise I get an alert that my credit scored dropped. When I checked the alert, it was due to a miss payment from XXXX XXXX. I immediately called XXXX XXXX to explain to them that I was placed on a program for customers effected by covid. I was told that they would need to find and listen to the phone call and would be contacted under pending investigation. A few months later at the end of XXXX I was told they would refund the interest and that credit reporting would be updated with all 3 bureaus. Since XXXX this has not been done and it still shows a late payment for both XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I have called into XXXX XXXX several times the last two years to get this resolved and Ive been getting the run around every single time. I asked them where the recording is so you can hear the discussion and was told its only for internal used. I have called several times to explain whats been going on and Ive been hung up on, kept on hold, or being told to dispute it with the credit agencies. I explained to them to look at my payment history and that I never missed a payment until the rep gave told me which I now found out was the wrong information. Ive tried to speak with the XXXX XXXX department and financial services regarding this matter. The representative gave me incorrect information that negatively impacted my credit. This is negligent and unfair as a consumer and the consequence is my credit history being dropped due to this. I asked a supervisor what happens if the rep gives out wrong information to a consumer that could damage their credit and was told it was nothing, they can do about that. Im reaching out in hopes that you can assist with me getting the incorrect information removed. Thank you so much.
