I wrote a check to pay a creditor and made an $*.** mistake on a $***.** payment. I put the number amount correctly, but when writing it I left out the "eight" I called the creditor upon receiving first letter and was told I could add $* to next payment. They put it on principal and claimed I was still in arrears for the $*. Then they put this in the credit history, affecting my credit score over an $* mistake. I have never been late in over five years of a six year loan. I feel it should be fair for my creditor to remove this blemish on my credit history.
