Complaint:
I purchased a high school ring for my daughter from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and I was set up on payment plan. I was late, and made final payment in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I never received notification or reminder about payment, however I understand it was still my responsibility. In XX/XX/XXXX I received a text on my phone that the ring was going to be delivered to the high school. I sent a text back asking questions because i knew it was not paid in full. XXXX XXXX confirmed this with emails. I finally received a mail to my home stating I had a outstanding balance and i was already send to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I tried to resolve this through XXXX XXXX who is their executive account for XXXX XXXX, he said he could not help me and referred me to XXXX in collections department. I asked XXXX to help me resolve this problem, and she referred me to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called them today and spoke to XXXX XXXX. I told him what had transpired with XXXX and told him I had receipts from XXXX and he said XXXX has been their client for many years. Because he had me under my maiden name he still needed proof and was still sending to the credit beau in a few weeks. I explained to him that XXXX did not have my correct email address on file, and could not help me any further. I asked for email address so I could send him a copy of final receipt from XXXX stating the balance was paid in full. He did give me an email address and I send him copy while I was still on phone, he said he try to check since that is not his department. At the end of the day, I felt I received no help, and XXXX  could not do anything because XXXX has been their client for many years. 

I am being sent to the credit beau and this account has been paid in full, among other things that have taken place with XXXX, for one they did not have correct email address. Second, anyone I communicated through email at XXXX referred me to different departments. Third, They sent me confirmation they had record of account being paid in full, but yet, they could not help me and I was again referred to Their collections department to speak with XXXX who referred me to XXXX XXXX? I don't understand why they can not just help me resolve this meanwhile Im being penalized by being sent to credit beau in a couple of weeks?

Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: MA
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint:
This letter is to dispute the interest fees that are fraudulently and illegally being charge to me under a loan through NetCredit. 

I have followed up with NetCredit via email and phone and received no adequate response from anyone. 

This company does not give the option to pay principal payments, you would have to pay their interest fee and then issue a payment on top of that. Their monthly payments are too high for the average consumer to get out of this type of debt and to try and make extra payments. I have called NetCredit on several occasions to refinance this loan. The first time I was told this was not an option that they provided. The last time I spoke with them in the month of XX/XX/2022 I was told that this is an option, but my case had been escalated and I need to wait for a manager to contact me. I have not heard from anyone to date. 

This loan is a High Interest loan and after investigating it appears that this illegal and fraudulent. 

The total amount loaned is {$8100.00}. NetCredit takes money out of my bank account with XXXX every 2 weeks. Wednesday. XX/XX/2022 was the date of the last withdrawal. To date NetCredit has collected over {$2300.00} in Interest and is illegally charged. My biweekly payments total {$210.00} and result in a minimal amount of that payment being applied to the principle. In fact, after 12 payments of {$210.00} I have only paid about {$250.00} toward the principle. This is illegal. 

How is it that it is legal for a company to charge an interest in that amount? The APR that NetCredit is giving me is over 63 %. 

The state of Florida maintains the position that it is illegal for a loan to have an APR over 18 % : Florida Statue 687.02

Complaint:
Equifax has neglected my dispute I sent in by mail. I have yet to receive any updates. This is not the first time I have disputed, They have failed to accurately verify the information they are reporting on my behalf. Reporting late payments on my report causing damage to my financial reputation. Equifax Is in direct violation of The FCRA 15 USC 1681B, 15 USC 1681, 15 USC 1681E ( B ) AS WELL AS 15 USC 1666B which states a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. Equifax has failed to assure maximum possible accuracy of any account it reports on behalf of a consumer. Equifax should not just report anything on my report because they are being compensated by third parties, this is unfair to me the consumer. As this has been causing me alot of stress.
