Synovus Bank Credit card department,
I applied for a fully secured credit card through First Progress on the month of - of 2015 to improve my credit scores. I 'm trying to apply for a mortgage loan in the year to come so having new credit is important to me. My boyfriend completed the credit card application for me because he has had a credit card with them for the past year and it helped his credit improve. Unfortunately I was un-aware that there was an annual fee that was due the first month of being approved for this type of credit card, besides the fact I never received any notification ( written or verbal ) indicating the annual fee was due. After a month or so of not receiving any correspondence I called First Progress and became aware of the late charge and the delinquent annual fee. At that moment I took care of the charges and paid the account completely, I asked the representative if I was going to receive a 30 day late on my credit report and the rep said no. I asked for a confirmation number and a full name, but she said that they do n't offer that. After a month or so from this conversation I pulled a copy of my credit report and I saw that First Progress had reported a 60 day late on my credit report, I called them right away and tried to resolve this issue and all they said was to send them a written dispute and they would look into this. Since that time I have spoken to several representatives and I have not been able to get this 60 day late on my report corrected or removed. I personally feel that this was not my fault and if I had known of these charges I would have taken care of them right away, like I did when I first became aware. I need your help in resolving this matter.
