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

Complaint:
My complaint is to inform you of the grave violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Privacy Act of 1974 that have been committed by Experian. These violations have caused substantial harm to my privacy and have infringed upon my consumer rights. I am seeking a remedy as prescribed by 15 USC 1681n to address the damages incurred.

The specific violations are as follows : 1. Violations of 15 USC 6802-6805 and the Privacy Act of 1974 : Unauthorized Sharing of Personal Information It has come to my attention that Experian has unlawfully shared my personal information from XXXX XXXX XXXX without my consent or any legal basis, thereby violating my rights under 15 USC 6802-6805 and the Privacy Act of 1974. This unauthorized sharing of my personal information has resulted in a breach of my privacy, causing distress and concern. I strongly urge Experian to immediately cease any further sharing of my personal information and take appropriate measures to prevent such unauthorized disclosures in the future.

2. Violation of 15 USC 1681A ( 2 ) ( 1 ) : Improper Disclosure of Experiences and Transactions In addition to the aforementioned violations, I have discovered that Experian has improperly disclosed my experiences and transactions from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. This disclosure of sensitive personal information without my consent is a clear violation of 15 USC 1681A ( 2 ) ( 1 ). I demand that XXXX XXXX XXXX and Experian take immediate action to rectify this violation and ensures that my experiences and transactions are not further disclosed without lawful justification. Attached below is a screen shot of the violation as well as proof that all three consumer reporting agencies are reporting the same account differently which is an additional violation under 15 USC 1681.

Company: Reel Time Capital LLC

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to arrest you or take you to jail if you do not pay

Complaint:
I ( XXXX XXXX ) received a XXXXspam ' call from phone number # XXXX. In a voicemail left on my phone, this individual identified herself as XXXX XXXX. I saved the voicemail due to its threatening nature. In the voicemail, she immediately said she was a Compliance Officer w/ the State of Colorado , formerly serving me by telephone voicemail. When leaving a call-back number and " case number '' information, she said it almost too quickly for me to be able to identify it. She left a " case number '' of XXXX. She left a call-back number of XXXX. This is for Reeltime Capital, which I did not find out until after I called XXXX XXXX to verify. XXXX XXXX acknowledge they sold the debt and that this individual violated FDCPA by threatening to take me to court for intentional fraud with no proof of that. In fact, I am able to prove that I lost my employment of 11 years in XX/XX/XXXX  and was unable to pay at that point. I did stay in communication and was current, up to that point. There was never any deception, on my behalf. This is completely unacceptable. She was extremely rude to me and tried to collect the debt personally, herself, when she's a process server, and not a collections agent. In addition to that, I do not believe it is legal, in the state of Colorado, to " formally serve someone over the phone ''.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services
Sub-issue: Problem with product or service terms changing

Complaint:
I had an Equifax product ( {$15.00} XXXX XXXX ) that included refreshed XXXX scores up to once a day, an Equifax credit report once a XXXX and XXXX bureau report XXXX. I called them to add my XXXX  to the plan and they removed the daily XXXX score feature without telling me that this would happen. I now pay {$20.00} a XXXX for a daily Equifax report and score and have to wait a XXXX  to get XXXX scores/XXXX bureau report XXXX Definitely not worth the money. I can get that for free. 

The call center tried to tell me that it has always been this way ( gaslighting ) until I had them go back into the system and acknowledge that they removed the daily XXXX score feature when I added my XXXX. I requested a refund and that has been pending for XXXX  now. I am certain it will never come. They have since removed the XXXX score feature from my original plan, but they can't take it away from existing customers unless they make a change of some sort, which is what happened to me. That's fine, but they have to TELL YOU. When a customer picks up on it and complains, Equifax lies about it. 

I believe that Equifax is engaging in illegal/unethical practices in selling their products. They do not disclose to customers exactly what features will be lost when they make changes to an existing plan. Calling the customer service number is a waste of time. They just stonewall and say, '' you will be notified once the inquiry is complete. '' My inquiry has been going on for XXXX. They are so huge and insulated they do not care if they lose XXXX or XXXX customers for the millions who don't realize that they are paying more for less.

Complaint:
When my car got totaled in XX/XX/XXXX, I had gap insurance to pay for the balance. I called the loan company in XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, to ensure that all had been paid off. They informed me that it was and a check would be mailed for the balance. I asked them if they were sure that I was supposed to receive a check because the gap insurance was only supposed to cover the car and nothing extra. They assured me the check was meant for me. They mailed out the check on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I cashed the check and placed the money into my savings account. 
Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX. I received a letter from XXXX stating that I owed them the balance of the check they sent me because they had credited the wrong account for the balance. Upon receiving the letter, I had the balance paid off within a week ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I called XXXX to ensure that there would not be anything negative on my credit report due to the interaction and they said there shouldnt be. When I got the update my credit report showed a past due balance, I called them back and they said they would submit my claim and information to their credit reporting team. I could not speak to them personally, but it was decided that because I had not made a payment - due to having a {$0.00} balance up until XXXX when they reversed the check, I was still late. They back dated the account on their end so that they could cover up sending out the check to the wrong person. But, you cant back date a credit report that updated monthly. I asked why they had not called me immediately upon reversing the check and they said that they had but I didnt have a voicemail setup ( false information because Ive always had one and there were no missed calls from them at any point either ). I even had to pay more than the original check because they included other fees on the payoff. I also did not receive any emails about the issue, which would have resulted in it being paid off sooner. They didnt send me any information or update my statements either ( see attached ). You can also see on the documents that there was a {$0.00} balance from XXXX when they reversed the original {$1600.00} credit. 

I just spoke with a customer service representative and they shared the more detailed documents with me. Can show proof it came from them if required. 

I tried placing a claim with Transunion and XXXX but they sided with XXXX.
