Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the reporting of accounts without my permission by a consumer reporting agency, in violation of the provisions outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681b and 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( b ). I seek your assistance in addressing this matter and ensuring compliance with the applicable laws. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the specific sections mentioned above, I have the right to control the disclosure of my personal information and to provide explicit consent before a consumer reporting agency furnishes my account information to third parties. However, despite my explicit denial of consent, I have recently discovered that certain accounts have been reported without my permission. 

I have sent multiple disputes to the consumer reporting agency, clearly stating my objection to the reporting of these accounts and explicitly withholding my consent. Regrettably, the consumer reporting agency has either failed to respond to my disputes or has disregarded my requests, continuing to furnish the disputed accounts without valid authorization. 

I hereby request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to intervene in this matter and take the necessary steps to ensure compliance with the FCRA. Specifically, I seek the following actions :

On XX/XX/2020 I mailed all three credit bureaus a letter disputing some inaccurate things on my credit report. It has been almost 90 days and I have not received a response. I understand that COVID has caused a lot of thing to slow down, but this is a bit too long waiting for a response. Reviewing some of the the things on my XXXX  report makes me feel that I have been impacted by their data breach and my personal information has been used by the wrong person or persons. This has caused me quite a bit of stress especially dealing with the deaths  of my friends due to XXXX. I am asking that these items be removed from my credit report.

Sub-product: Title loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I refinanced my title loan from XXXX to Advantage Finance. I ended up finding myself in a position where I got into a situation where I got behind on my rent due to some extenuating circumstances that were beyond my control & missed months of payments. I owed about {$6000.00} on the original loan & they finally came & picked up my car in XX/XX/XXXX. I ended up having to file a XXXX XXXXXXXX to retrieve my vehicle because at the time they wanted a lot of money that I didnt have at the time. I was considering dropping my bankruptcy to see if I could work something out regarding the total but now theyre saying I owe XXXX XXXX on a car that I just paid off in XXXX & its a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The current blue book value for the car if I were to sell it or trade it in would be {$7000.00} which is still double of whats owed. I spoke with my attorney who told me I should reach out if I wanted to forego my bankruptcy because Id like to invest in real estate in order to build a substantial income. Spoke with XXXX & was told in order to refinance that I need to pay {$7000.00} which is even more than the amount I borrowed. This is predatory lending & I hate that I even got the loan because Im trapped & cant get out of this. If I was able to pay the loan without all of the added interest I would be fine

Complaint:
Discover reduced my credit limit from {$3000.00} to {$500.00}. I do not have a single late payment on any account and I always pay far more than minimum on my payments. My scores have foolishly lowered because of usage, but now my scores are even lower because Discover lowered my credit limit. Yes, I understand how credit works. That still doesn't mean it's not absolutely foolish. My son who has several judgements and collection accounts has higher credit scores than I do right now, and I have an absolutely perfect payment history. It seems to me this would be a very clear indication of how unfair credit ratings are. I understand a creditor having the option of lowering your limits if you have had late payments or filed bankruptcy. They should not be able to lower your credit limit because of a temporary score. Temporary is the key word there. The scores are fluid and change rapidly, yet a credit card company may check your score once every 6 months to a year and may just happen to come across your score after a major purchase, so the foolish analysts that are paid to predict the future decide to lower your score ( kick you while your down ) and then say this is fair practice even though the consumer has more than lived up to the agreement made when the credit limit was established. Of course, it also depends on which score you're referring to. There are many! It's an absolutely foolish system and it provides very little, if any, financial protection for the consumer. All the protections are for the lender. My limit should not have been lowered. I had a {$3000.00} limit and only a {$30.00} balance. Now because of some overly educated fool who developed an automatic system to protect the bank, I am forced to suffer via my credit scores and good name.
