    After recently reviewing my credit report from your company, I noticed several inaccuracies that need to be addressed. The accounts in question are listed below:?Company Name: ******* Account #: ******************** Balance: $227.00 Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681g), I am formally requesting copies of all documents in your records that were used to verify the accuracy of these accounts. Please provide these documents in your response to this letter.I respectfully ask that you do not reply with a generic statement claiming the accounts have been verified. Instead, I expect to receive the actual records supporting this verification. If no such documentation exists, these disputed accounts should be removed from my credit report immediately, as required under Section 611(a)(5)(A)(i) of the FCRA.Including unverified or inaccurate information on my credit reportand continuing to share it with third partiesunfairly damages both my credit standing and my reputation. I ask that you take this matter seriously and resolve it as soon as possible.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    The company has blocked my card again. I have sent several emails to no avail. I advised the company I would resend the email to BBB and I have yet to receive a response. Please see the attachment above for reference. 

     

     

     

    In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.


    Sincerely,

    ******* ******

    I used Deferit service. They turn your regular bills into credit reporting like a credit card to help build credit. It was fine until my last $19..74 (4 of 4 installments) for a pseg bill I used then for. They claimed my payment was declined by ****/failed. This made no sense. As funds were more than available. I called my bank. My bank had not received a request from deferit to charge my that amount. While on ohonevwith bank I attempted pay it again. I pay all my deferit bills weeks before due. ******* confirmed no request to charge me $19.74 reached them. Yet deferit said payment failed lack of funds. I had another bill with them for installments of $*****. Right after the $19.74 failed i paid the last two $***** installments. That equal $30.10. Those requests reached my babk immediately. I was able to pay. They were not due for weeks 1st chsrged *****& months for other. I contacted deferit with this info via their email cos service as no number. They didn't respond or fix. I attempted pay this over & over with my bank on the line. Each time my bavk confirmed no request by deferit was made. Yet deferit failed payment. I did this over & over. Each time emailed then for help. They have never responded or fixed. They reporting negativity to credit agencies. Now refusing to allow my to pay my last bill with them. Until this I paid Each bill with them weeks before they were due. They will not respond. Will not fix. They are impacting me negativity. I need help. They need to be held responsible *** sent them documentation proving funds were available. ********** never received request by them to charge me that amount since the 3rd installment. They have been provided everything to prove this their error. I have reached out countless times. Still no response or fix from deferit. Please help.
