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

Subissue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Consumer Complaint: This may not be the proper way to address this, and I apologize if it is not. I was looking for work around the time I was graduating with my XXXX in XXXX of XXXX. In XXXX, the pandemic happened. All my finances were fine, but my job search was incredibly difficult and lengthy. I kept up with all my bills for as long as I could but by the time XXXX hit, I couldn't keep up anymore. The best I could do for work at the time was to adjunct for my university. I only made $ XXXX {$1500.00} a month doing this. I worked with all my creditors throughout the pandemic however eventually, I just couldn't keep up. Fortunately, I landed a wonderful job in XX/XX/XXXX and since then have been able to meet all my obligations with ease. The purpose of this is that, to this day, my report still shows all these late payments. I tried negotiating with the credit card companies to have these removed, but they were unwilling to remove these and said the fair credit reporting act prevented them from doing so. This was XXXX XXXX that said this. I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done other than just keep making my payments on time. Prior to the pandemic, for years my credit was spot on. Since at least XXXX. I worked hard to rebuild myself after the XXXX crash in which I lost my job and my home. Which is why I was going back to school to get my degree in mathematics and eventually a XXXX in math. I had to reinvent myself. Thank you for your time in reading this.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/ - end of cycle for this Sychrony ( Amazon ) credit card, I updated my auto-pay from " statement balance '' to " minimum balance ''. Their system showed my scheduled autopay as updated from {$550.00} to $ XXXX. I then added a manual payment of {$350.00}. Their system showed two pending payments of ~ {$30.00} and {$350.00}. They then processed a payment of {$550.00} and {$350.00}, overdrafting my account and costing me multiple overdraft fees and putting my credit card balance - {$240.00}. Their system did not display the correct amount, and they are only willing to mail me a paper check to refund the negative balance several weeks from now.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: I made a purchase of {$410.00} on XX/XX/XXXX that was supposed to ship out and never did. I reached out to the company that I purchased this from on XX/XX/XXXX. I did not hear a response by XX/XX/XXXX, so I sent a follow-up email regarding my request. On XX/XX/XXXX, I finally received a response letting me know that I could cancel the order, minus a 10 % cancellation fee. When I found that out, I told them that I would like to keep the order, but did not hear back. On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a chargeback in the full amount through PayPal Credit and through my PayPal account ( two separate disputes ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I finally got a response from the company I purchased the product from, stating that they would be happy to ship the product out that day if I canceled the dispute. I did not respond, as I wanted to continue the dispute. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from the company I purchased the product from, stating that my order was refunded, with a chargeback and - {$410.00} listed on the receipt. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a charge for {$410.00} on my account ( again ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from PayPal Credit, notifying me that the dispute did not end in my favor, and that the charge was placed back on my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached back out to PayPal Credit to dispute the purchase again, citing the new receipt that I was given stating that I was going to be given a refund by the company I purchased the product from. On XX/XX/XXXX, I checked the status of the dispute to see that it was closed again in the sellers favor.
