Complaint:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 
I discovered that some of the information on my credit report was incorrect when I reviewed it. Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) require the XXXX and Equifax credit bureaus to validate these accounts ( A ), ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. XXXX and Equifax shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information.

It is not permissible to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the time frame specified by law. My credit report includes the following erroneous information that needs to be investigated and correct : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CA, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Open Date XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$10000.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Open Date XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Open Date XXXX XXXX, XXXX Balance : {$0.00}

Company: Perfection Collection
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I obtained XXXX, the product was defective. I tried calling them to fix it and they never did. I cancelled services with them and sent them their equipment back through XXXX. I did it within 1-2 months after obtained services from them because of their refusal to fix their defective product. 
The system would not allow AC to work properly or would not control things properly either. -In XXXX , California the average temperature during the summer is around the 100-110 degrees, so I needed a functional AC for my family. 
XXXX never sent me a bill with a balance after I sent them their equipment back, I called them in several times asking for a balance corrected after I sent the equipment, but they were not able to tell me a balance, even any amount of money. 
Back on XX/XX/2018, I discovered a new collection on my XXXX credit report, a collection agency named Perfection Collection is reporting XXXX account for {$2100.00} dollars. It called my attention because I never received an initial notice or call from this debt collector, also the balance doesnt make sense to me, I really dont know from were the {$2100.00} dollars come from, if it is for a service or for equipment. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I called them and asked for an Itemization letter because -even today- I dont know the reason of the {$2100.00} dollars in collection. During the call the representative was unable to confirm my mailing address and that makes me think they never send me an Initial collection notice or something similar. The representative asked me for an email and she would send me an email with an Itemization statement. 
I wait for the email until XX/XX/XXXX, I called again but no body answer my call and I called for several days, -During this time I thought this debt collector was a scam or a fake company- They answer my call on XX/XX/XXXX and they told me they didnt have a record of my Itemization Statement on XX/XX/XXXX, but this time the representative said they sent me validation letter twice by XXXX, thing that I didnt receive. Later I received an email from XXXX XXXX from Perfection Collection, the email had an attachment, it was a picture of the original contract with XXXX, But I wasnt included and itemization statement. 
I called again on XX/XX/XXXX to ask again for an Itemization statement because I need an explanation of the amount in collection, then they suppose to send me a detail Itemization statement, but they again sent a photo of the original contract with XXXX. 
At this point I believe this collection agency doesnt have an Itemization statement and they cant explain the reason of the bill. Also, they never sent me, and Initial collection notice and they got my mailing address at the time of my first call to them.

Company: Green Square Company LLC.
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Payday loan debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Indicated you were committing crime by not paying debt

Complaint:
I received a call from a XXXX number that left a voicemail. The voicemail states that I committed a crime by actively deceiving a financial institution and that a complaint was filed. That if I did not respond it would mean my automatic refusal. I called the number back and a XXXX XXXX answered. He looked up my number, and asked if the information was correct. then he stated he was an arbitration officer and that they were asked to arbitrate an agreement for payment of a debt, and that I had to make payment arrangements today. if I did not then they would file a suit against me. when I asked for written validation he stated that they were not able to do that without me making a payment. He said he could not send anything in writing until he had my credit card information and a payment was arranged. When I asked for further information he repeated the same. he said I was not allowed to contact the original creditor at all. when I requested that he allow me time to validate the debt with the original company and to validate his right to collect such debt he said that they would have my drivers license suspended and have my car registration renewal blocked if I did not get this handled today. He never once identified himself as a debt collector. never once said the call was recorded. never truthfully identified himself. he refused to validate anything in writing. now when I call the number back it goes to a busy signal.

State: OK
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit

Complaint:
I have XXXX FS Card Services ( XXXX 's Jewelers ) card for approximately four years. During this time I have had a 98 % paid on time account. The account has been reporting in good standing. I have had a {$2200.00} credit line on this account. The highest balance that I have ever had on it was around {$790.00}. I currently owe. {$580.00}. I started noticing that my statements were showing me the {$2200.00} credit limit but with XXXX credit available. I called to inquire about this and THEY told me they would need to do a review. The next thing I know is that they are closing my account. I have been paying consistently with a XXXX percent on time ACCOUNT as I have said above. I received a letter dated approximately XX/XX/XXXX that my line of credit was being closed. I have other things past due but not their account. I am being punished for being on time with them simply because other things have fallen behind during this Covid Pandemic. I FEEL THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNFAIR.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: AZ
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I purchased XXXX XXXX from XXXX. In the ad it says " 0 % '' interest for 24 months. Received my first statement and there were charges on the account that were not mine. Eventually they were removed but interest was being charged. I called Goldman Sachs many many times, no one had a clue as to why. Was finally told that interest was being charged on the sales tax. I was never told that and it clearly states in the purchase that it would be 24 months 0 % interest. There are XXXX different amounts on each statement, which I was told by apple and goldman sachs that one was for the sales tax and the other towards the phones. There has been XXXX payments since I started and not only am I still paying interest but the balance due is more than it should be. I have written to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX back XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and heard from someone at her office but she had no clue what was going on. I wrote again XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX and explained in detail about payments, interest etc, but as of this date, XX/XX/XXXX I have heard nothing. I think its fraudulent to advertise something that they do not do. Plus to have to owe more than should be.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Property address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, NJ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Original loan XX/XX/XXXX {$650000.00} with Hudson City Savings Bank at a fixed rate of 5.375 % for 30 years Sometime in XX/XX/XXXXHudson City Savings Bank was merged with M & T Bank. During the entire loan time we made mortgage payment on time every month. During the next few years M & T Bank indicated that some months we were short on payment and we sent in additional payment to cover without asking why. In XX/XX/XXXXwe changed insurance providers for the coverage of the house and the bank and insurance company didnt communicate and we got charged additional fees {$500.00} per month for several months. Once we provided proof of insurance without any gap in the policy they only gave us partial credit for the insurance and still demand us to pay the balance for the insurance. The insurance for the home is paid directly by us. In XX/XX/XXXX we received a invoice indicating that we owed {$19000.00} M & T bank. This was a complete shock to us and we started to see look into what is going on. Well the first thing we see is that the bank changed the rate from 5.375 % to 6.375 %. We immediately contacted the bank and all we got is run around between transferring us from one person to another person. We gave up and went to local branch to see a someone in the branch to help us. We got similar run around indicating we need to schedule an appointment with an agent to see if they can help us.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
According to my consumer reports ( XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ) this financial institution furnished an account without disclosing opt out information to me. I have recently read the GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT under the Federal Trade Commission and they are failing to comply with the law. The GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT requires financial institutions companies that offer consumers financial products or services like loans, financial or investment advice, or insurance to explain their information-sharing practices to their customers and to safeguard sensitive data. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act seeks to protect consumer financial privacy. Its provisions limit when a " financial institution '' may disclose a consumer 's " nonpublic personal information '' to nonaffiliated third parties. The law covers a broad range of financial institutions, including many companies not traditionally considered to be financial institutions because they engage in certain " financial activities. '' Financial institutions must notify their customers about their information-sharing practices and tell consumers of their right to " opt-out '' if they don't want their information shared with certain nonaffiliated third parties. In addition, any entity that receives consumer financial information from a financial institution may be restricted in its reuse and redisclosure of that information. This financial institution has failed to disclose this information to me and knowingly and willfully withheld pertinent information regarding the disclosure of my information to affiliated and non-affiliated third parties, This financial institution knowingly, and willfully withheld information that explains how I the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. This is a violation of the GRAMM-LEACH_BLILEY ACT law and they should be held accountable for intentionally not giving customers the right to opt out of their disclosures..

On XXXX XXXX TransUnion reported that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( see the underlined on page 1 of TransUnion report File # XXXX but continued to allow false reports and monthly charges. However, after XXXX XXXX realized that they were wrong and perhaps wanted to avoid legal action against them, they sent an official letter to me announcing that they were closing the account on or about XX/XX/XXXX.

I am appealing to you, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, to address this kind of ill reporting and inaccuracies because I am told that is why your agency exists. The only solution to this issue is delete this now!! 

Thank you for your time and I pray that you will do more than serve as a messenger.
