Consumer Narrative
There is a 30-day late reporting on my son XXXX XXXX XXXX ( last four of SS # XXXX ), wife XXXX XXXX XXXX ( last four of SS # XXXX ) and my, XXXX XXXX XXXX credit reports due to a clerical error. We have a mortgage loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). There is a 30-day late that occurred in XXXX of XXXX. An auto mortgage payment to XXXX ( account # XXXX ) for the property located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WA XXXX, was missed in XXXX of XXXX, because XXXX cancelled XXXX auto-payment when XXXX shut down the old website and did not set the auto-payment back up when they launched their new website. Also, XXXX did not send an email specifically informing us to re-register our auto-payments on their new website. We received an email on XX/XX/XXXX with the title New Website is Coming Soon. Buried in the second paragraph of that email was the wording, you'll have to re-register even if you have a user account on our current site. It said nothing about our auto-payment being cancelled if we didnt re-register. It also did not specify exactly when the new site would be launched. On XX/XX/XXXX we received an email titled, Our new website is live! Check it out! Again, there was no mention of our auto-payment being cancelled. We purchased the home in XXXX of XXXX. We made our first payment in XXXX of XXXX and made every payment on time through the auto-pay feature, scheduled to pull from our account on the XXXX of each month. XX/XX/XXXX our auto-payment was made. The XX/XX/XXXX auto-payment was not made because the auto-payment had been cancelled by XXXX. We discovered the missed payment just seven days later, on XX/XX/XXXX. We made a one-time payment that day, then created a new account on the new website and set up a new auto-pay that is working great and no payments have been late or missed since. Because of the lack of clear communication from XXXX, both my son XXXX ( last four of SS # XXXX ), who is the owner of the home and my wife XXXX ( last four of SS # XXXX ) and my ( we are co-signers on the account ) credit took very big hits. Wed appreciate any help to remove the late payment from our credit reports. Thank you for your time and consideration.
