Consumer Narrative
To Whom It May Concern : Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Im writing because I noticed that my most recent credit report contains late payment reported on XX/XX/XXXX for my XXXX account. Id have an excellent repayment record. Ive had a spotless record of on-time payments. The account XXXX XXXX ( Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX ; Balance : {$3300.00} ) must be reviewed by you. You are reporting me as late for XX/XX/XXXX. I made my payment on time for this month, see attached account statement from XXXX XXXX for XXXX as proof of my payment. Im planning to apply for a mortgage, and its come to my attention that the missed payment on my record could hurt my ability to qualify. In the month of XX/XX/XXXX the payment made on XX/XX/XXXX I thought would be applied to my XX/XX/XXXX payment due on XX/XX/XXXX I was advise this payment was not applied to my XXXX payment after further investigation and speaking to multiple representative, also the payment made for XX/XX/XXXX I thought would be applied to XXXX XXXX since payment was also made in advance. This issue only current happening because of the makeup of making payments early. Once issue was explain and advise to me to avoid any further late payments make sure that bill are paid on time on the exact date due to avoid confusion. I truly believe that it doesnt reflect my creditworthiness and commitment to repaying my debts. It would help me immensely if you could give me a second chance and make a goodwill adjustment to remove the late payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope youll approve my request. Please remove this late payment from credit report due to issue was not explain correctly by multiple agents I also should not be penalized due to payments were made in advice and was not aware not going towards correct bill date. Best, XXXX XXXX
