MY wife was late with a monthly payment in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX times the department store " XXXX '' added appropiate late fee and included interest with original balance and with additional late fee. In XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX my wife did pay the balance if the " XXXX XXXX credit card payment due. However XXXX XXXX did report my wife with a delquant payment to all XXXX credit reporting agencies for both XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX my wife and I started a application for refinace our home for the hopes of a 30 year 4 % rate but, due to the late payment and XXXX XXXX reporting XXXX the late payments to all credit reporting agencies brought my wife credit score down which kept us from achieving the top tier rate of 4 % but got a 4.25 %. My wife called the department store " XXXX XXXX '' explained that she was late but did pay in full the balance interest and late fee for both months but the department store was unwilling to remove the report they made once again even though my wife made full resituition for the credit card amount due. The department store XXXX XXXX credit card divisionwere perhaps well within their legal right anc correct in doing so but my wife did make full payment did not welch or file bankruptcy and welch on the amount due rather she payed it with fee, interest and balance. I guesss there is No law or rule against poor bussiness practice.
