Prior to being late with XXXX {$110.00} zero-interest motorcycle loan payment to XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, my credit score had been in the high XXXX. As soon as the late payment came to my attention, I immediately made up the payment in XX/XX/XXXX, however by then that mistake had caused my credit score to drop by XXXX points. After contacting XXXX about this their initial response was to go speak to the credit reporting agencies because " there 's nothing we can do about it '' while the credit reporting agencies would say the same about XXXX XXXX. Extremely frustrated, I wrote them an angry email, to which they sent me a letter acknowledging their mistake. However, my credit score is still in the low XXXX and my payment and credit history has been stellar as before my late payment. My wife and I are very upset about this incident - since we are trying to refinance, my much lower credit score is affecting the interest rate that we 're being offered by as much as one percentage point. 

Attached is the letter acknowledging their " system error '' and my FICO credit score history from my most recent XXXX XXXX statement. As you can see my score was an XXXX prior to the one late payment, and even though as of XX/XX/XXXX it shows that it 's gone back up to XXXX, for a reason that no one seems to be able to explain, this score is not reflective of the score that the lenders see when they pull my credit ( the lender is using Transunion 's Classic XXXX FICO model ). My median credit score provided to lenders is still XXXX, which is still too low to qualify for an optimal interest rate. I wish someone could explain to us why there is more than a XXXX point difference between what the credit score I receive and what the lender receives.
