Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I realized I needed to replace my car. It was suggested I investigate using some equity in my home to finance the car. I am a XXXX XXXX, retired and do not have much banking and loan knowledge. I used the Internet and found many companies offering home equity loans. I clicked on XXXX XXXX XXXX trying to find out what the interest rates were. I feel that I was tricked by this company. I entered information that the page requested. I simply wanted to see the interest rates. XXXX XXXX XXXX did a Hard Credit Inquiry on me without my permission. Their webpage does not disclose that not only are they doing a hard Credit Inquiry but they take any information request as an Application for credit! Then I got an email from XXXX XXXX XXXX saying they were working on " my application '' and I NEVER applied for anything. I also received an application package in the mail. It seems that requesting information to XXXX XXXX XXXX is some sort of Contract of Adhesion in their minds. I was shocked when I got an immediate Alert from Experian. I called Experian and was told I needed to call XXXX XXXX XXXX to get that Hard Credit Inquiry removed. I did that and was treated rudely by 2 different employees of XXXX XXXX XXXX and was told they refused to remove the Hard Credit Inquiry. I called them and emailed them and said I NEVER applied for a loan and I was not going to apply. I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX and received a response from XXXX XXXX XXXX denying my request to remove this Hard Credit Inquiry. Experian will not allow disputes over Hard Credit Inquiries and has not responded to my complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX took advantage of my simply researching rates and now my Credit Score is impacted. I need your help, please.

Complaint:
in XXXX i tried to buy a mattress and have it leased through acima. i never received the mattress and in that time i had also loss my phone number yet i still contacted acima telling them i never received the mattress and would not need to have it leased anymore. in XXXX i realized that it is still trying to be collected even though the lease wasn't needed and i never got the product it was intended for. they still wont remove it and say i still owe. I have contacted this company and the company i tried to get the mattress through and both were non-caring and very unhelpful, needless to say if it seems like a scam it probably is. The original company i tried to work with went under for fraud and a new owner is running the mattress " company '' he wouldn't have had to owe anything all he had to do was cancel the order to the lease firm. he would not do so for no apparent reason other than to make my life difficult and teach me a lesson. I just don't understand people anymore and dint want it to be this big of a deal but if the original person went away for fraud you think he would try to make the company look good, but like i said before if it looks like a scam it probably is,

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, I was in an accident with the vehicle in question and it was deemed a total loss by my primary insurance company and I also had a gap policy. Both insurance companies have paid on the claim and the lien company I had cosigned with for the vehicle documented that they would release the title to me once payment was made and I have not gotten the title and they are continuing to bill me for an additional amount that was left over after the payments were made to cover the cash value of the car in full. The problem I am having with the finance company is that they have not released the title and are continuing to bill me for a balance that was discarded between them, myself and the two insurance companies. I do see that this has been a problem with a previous customer
