Consumer Narrative
In the month of XXXX, I have reach out to XXXX XXXX asking if we could defer my payment for this month due to health concerns and also the holidays. The customer representee granted me the deferment for more than the time needed. She had informed me that XXXX XXXX defer payments by 2 months instead of 1. During the duration of my loan I have never been late not once. The representee then mentions there will be one time additional fee added to monthly payment and gave me an option rather if I could pay at the particular moment or when my next bill would be due after the deferment of payments. I agreed to the one time additional fee and mention to the representee I will make the payment either before or day after. She then mentions there is a form I need to sign in order to start the deferment process and upon signing I must use a pin code to open the document. The document was signed and afterwards XXXX XXXX reports to the credit bureaus of the status of my account how my monthly payments were deferred. I then assumed then everything was taken care and I wont receive a late payment on my credit report. After XXXX XXXX noted on my credit report about the deferment of my payments, I then paid the one time fee XXXX because it was convenient to pay the fee now instead of paying my agreed monthly car note of {$500.00} and {$210.00} together at once despite given the option to pay the one time fee upon my due bill date. I contacted XXXX XXXX after seeing the late payment on my credit report. The customer representee then noted on my account about the removal of the late payment however its still being reported 30 days later. I am in the process of buying a house and this reporting has lowered my credit score dramatically. I have followed all that was required of me and I shouldn't have gotten a reporting of a late payment based off what was told to me from the customer representative on the day of requesting deferment of payments.
