Consumer Narrative
I spoke with XXXX XX/XX/XXXX payment XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$9.00} Unauthorized charges credited. {$9.00} late fee charged bringing the account to {$20.00}. XXXX credit- XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX {$9.00} XXXX Charged me a late fee on unauthorized charges that were credited back to me. In addition, I was reported late to the credit bureau, the unauthorized charge of {$9.00} caused the account to have a balance. After the credits were reimbursed as unauthorized, the late fee still remained on the account causing it to show as late. Had the unauthorized charge never been charged to this account no late fee would have applied. The {$50.00} was a membership fee charged XXXX, that was due in XXXX. Payment made XX/XX/XXXX.
