Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have provided this credit reporting agency ample and adequate information for them to remove requested items on my consumer report. Two of them so far to be exact. These attempts have been through affidavits that have gone unrebutted. In Law an unrebutted affidavit stands as truth. This is not the only truth. It is a fact this credit reporting agency is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Congress wrote the FCRA to promote the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. Congress found that an " elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers. With that being said pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ) " any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device '' should be excluded from a consumer report. " The definition of a credit card means any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. '' Notice, congress said ANY card. The credit card is my social security card. This is the credit card I used to originate every consumer credit transaction below. They should all be removed from my consumer report pursuant 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ). I am demanding that you these transactions from my report immediately as they are violation of mu rights as a federal protected consumer under title 15 chapter 41 XXXX XXXX XXXX ; Account # XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX ; Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; Account # XXXX

Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: FL
Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan
Sub-product: Personal line of credit
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint:
Some time ago, I applied for and was approved for a line of credit with NetCredit, with the expectation that it would function as a genuine line of credit and not as a cash advance. However, in recent months, I have come to realize that my " line of credit '' is operating more like a cash advance, which was not what I was originally promised. 

Since I began using this supposed line of credit, a total of {$1000.00} has been debited from my account, and I have been making bi-weekly payments for the past six months. Despite these payments, I am shocked to discover that I have a balance of {$650.00} in hidden charges. Additionally, the principal amount I owe remains nearly the same as the initial loan, amounting to {$750.00}. 

The advertising that initially attracted me to NetCredit promised a true line of credit with clear and transparent terms. However, the reality has been entirely different. I feel deceived by this situation, and it is unfair that a significant portion of my payments is being credited to hidden charges, while the principal is barely decreasing. 

I demand that this situation be clarified immediately, and the necessary corrections be made to my account. I want my payments to be properly applied to the borrowed capital, and for the structure of charges associated with my line of credit to be clearly and accurately disclosed. 

I expect prompt action to address this concern and resolve this issue fairly and equitably. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and look forward to your response to rectify this misunderstanding satisfactorily. 
Also, in Florida the maximum APR for loans in30 %, they are too high.
