PORTFOLIO RECOVERY IS ACCESSING MY CREDIT REPORT AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY ACCOUNTS WITH THEM NOR DID I APPLY. I HAVE ADVISED THEM VIA TELEPHONE THEY DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION AND ACCORDING THE THE LAW : A debt collector only has permissible purpose to obtain a consumer 's credit report if they have active collection authority. 

FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ) .If the debt collector does not have active collection authority on a debt of the consumer, they have no permissible purpose.

The FCRA requires that a party requesting a credit report must provide one or more of the permissible purposes set forth under FCRA 604 if the consumer has not provided express authorization to the CRA for the debt collector to obtain a credit report. 

If there is no unpaid debt for which the debt collector has active collection authority, then they lack permissible purpose, and their inquiries are a violation of the FCRA.

Paid Bank of the West, XXXX, California the amount of {$16000.00} ( by check ) to pay off an RV loan on XX/XX/XXXX. After waiting for 3 weeks for the paper title, contacted the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles ( Texas DMV ). Was told the lien still existed on the loan. Contacted Bank of the West and was informed the electronic release had been submitted on XX/XX/XXXX. After multiple conversations back and forth between the bank and the Texas DMV on a weekly basis between XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, I still have not received the paper title for the vehicle after waiting 8 weeks since the loan was paid. I have twice escalated the issue to a supervisor at Bank of the West but no progress has been made to provide the electronic release of lien. Bank of the West indicates this is an issue with their 3rd party company that handles their e-titles but have been unable to resolve the problem. Each time I have contacted Bank of the West, the hold time for customer service is between 30 minutes and one hour and 13 minutes. These hold times are unacceptable.

I responded to an ad on XXXX  to a local mattress company, XXXX  XXXX in XXXX WA. This appointment made was unbeknownst to me a " group '' appointment of other interested parties seeking mattresses. I was first in line to be " financed '' ( I Have pretty good credit so I was not concerned ) It was told to me " if '' I paid within 3 months there would be no finance charges ; It wasn't brought to my attention that ; as I would later find out, the company " American First Finance '' in XXXX, Texas, charged me 95 % Finance Fees!?!!? Had I not been rushed so salesman could pursue the others purchasing I may have noticed this on the paperwork I signed, and would have either opted to obtain far better loan financing through my credit union or anywhere but American First! 

Very unfair & unethical business practices, but that isn't my main complaint! Please see attached compilation of email correspondences while coordinating my FINAL payment in FULL. also attached are pics of texts between First American and  myself, showing their unethical business practices and standards or lack thereof. Also attached is the Statement I received from American First XXXX XX/XX/2020. They harassed me consistently and over excessively, even after speaking with someone telephonically that I would be filing my taxes and would be paying this small balance in FULL. 

I emailed and texted that I had just mailed payment in full on XX/XX/2020 in the amount of {$290.00} and the check #. I keep receiving demands for payment. I looked into my financial statement and seen that they had in fact received and cashed the check on XX/XX/2020. 

As you will see, I sent several emails in response to their " automated emails '', I would receive an auto reply saying someone would be getting back to me, That NEVER happened, ever ... .until TODAY XX/XX/2020, please see in my compilation in order of beginning to end. A XXXX XXXX is suggesting I still owe an addition {$140.00}?!?! 

I am done attempting to get through to this company and this representative! I have also received a notice from XXXX XXXX because American First Finance had reported me as negligent on my " debt ''. I have asked American First to correct this, but as you can see I get absolutely NOWHERE with them! Hence my filing this complaint. 

I remain hopeful your department can through to this company and contact XXXX  etc and CORRECT their mistake in reporting and risk damaging my credit rating immediately! 

Thank you in advance, I look forward to a resolve and appreciate your time and assistance.

I have contacted this company numerous times about this account not belonging to me. They have never validated this debt or provided anything showing that this debt belongings to me. Additionally this debt is below {$500.00} so it should no longer be reporting. Also, the fact that they sent me something showing there is no balance on this yet it's showing on my XXXX credit report with a balance. This item needs to be deleted. They are violating my rights and the FCRA. This is defamation of character and this inaccurate information that never belonged to me in the first is causing me much anguish and higher interest rates due to effect this has on my credit. Remove this account.
Product: Student loan

On XXXX I requested assistance from Discover Student Loans because of the Coronavirus and I was granted the disaster relief. However, as the situation hasn't changed much and XXXX XXXX residents are relatively still in lockdown at least until the end of XXXX as recently announced, I called Discover to extend the disaster relief on my account to find out that even though Discover has signed an agreement with Governor of California pledging to help private student loans borrowers with an extended disaster relief, now Discover is changing the terms of the original Disaster Relief and it will be charging interest during this time even though payments are not required. Not having to make the payment does help but charging interest during this time just creates a snowball that will only make the overall situation worse by the time repayment begins. On top of that, Discover is charging the variable rate wrong. Accordingly to the Discover Student Loan agreement, the variable rate is updated every quarter to reflect the new Prime Rate index so the rate is updated every XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. However, Discover current rate which should have been updated on XX/XX/XXXX, is showing a Prime Rate Index of 4.25 % even though such index was officially reduced to 3.25 % since XXXX XXXX. Therefore, not only Discover is charging interest to all borrowers during a complete global crisis, they are also charging such interest at a higher rate than it should be. It is pretty unfortunate to see how such an institution ( Discover Financial Services ) which received taxpayer money as BAIL OUT back in the 2008 crisis for the amount of {>= $1,000,000} is now taking advantage of the same taxpayers that helped them when they were in crisis. I really hope the U.S. government can see and take measures against such a despicable show of greediness.

After being discharged from this medical facility I was provided with medical records for another patient that was being seen on that date. I could not even provide proof of hospitalization to my school due to this huge HIPPA violation. In addition I received a bill for test that I am not even sure was performed on me. At that time I was pregnant but according to the test results that belonged to another patient I was not. I have sent a debt verification letter to request detailed billing and I tried to contact some in the billing department of that medical facility shortly after being discharged. I have no trust in this medical facility or any charges that I am deemed responsible for.

Dear Manager of BANK OF AMERICA, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to address an ongoing issue regarding my account with BANK OF AMERICA, which has been a source of concern since XX/XX/2023. On that date, I took the initiative to settle my account by making a payment of {$800.00}, as per the guidance provided by your representatives. At the time, they assured me that within 30-45 days, the remaining balance would be removed from my credit report. 

Regrettably, despite my diligent efforts to resolve this matter, I have encountered significant challenges in achieving a resolution. It has come to my attention that XXXX has already removed the disputed account from my credit report as per our agreement. However, the other major credit reporting agencies have failed to update their records, continuing to report an inaccurate balance of {$1800.00}. This discrepancy is both perplexing and concerning. 

I am fully aware of my rights as a consumer, including the right to dispute inaccuracies directly with the creditor. In pursuit of a resolution, I have made numerous requests for documentation over the past few months, but unfortunately, these requests have gone unanswered. To clarify, when I settled the account, the outstanding balance stood at {$2200.00}, and I promptly paid {$800.00} as agreed upon. 

It is crucial to emphasize that the current situation represents a direct violation of my consumer rights. I hereby demand an immediate and unequivocal deletion of this erroneous account from my credit report. I believe this is a fair and just request given the circumstances surrounding our prior agreement. 

I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter, as it is negatively affecting my financial standing. I am hopeful that we can swiftly resolve this issue and rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report, thereby upholding the integrity of my financial history. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

I have just checked in to view the status of my investigation sent through this website regarding an invalid Civil Judgment reporting on my credit report through XXXX under Judgment XXXX. I have waited already 32 days for a response and have not received one and I am getting extremely worried regarding what is going on. XXXX is not supposed to be reflecting on my credit report an this investigation has surpassed its limit and on top of forwarding all invalid judgment documentation to Experian which i received from the XXXX XXXX court records office ; I have been patient enough and I would like to know how soon this jusomenmt can be removed from my credit report. My investigation on this Consumer Financial Protection website has lead me to believe and to know for a fact that the law ( 168. section B ) states that reinvestigation may take a 30-day period to complete. I have not forwarded any more relevant documents regarding this expunged judgment in these 30 days, so I do not understand what the hold up is. Please remove this invalid judgment and so I can finally return to my financial life and try to correct the wrongs done this past 8 years with Experian having displayed this account unlawfully barring many financial institutions to deny me credit. I think i have awaited and suffered enough.
