Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  TX charged my checking account with a {$250.00} security deposit then offered me an uninhabitable apartment which someone had taken a sledgehammer to and smashed the dining area window and the balcony floor cracking it to the point that I could see the patio of the apartment below through the huge cracks. The apartment manager told me she would put me on a waiting list then never called and did not return any of my many calls requesting an update on the status of my waiting list position. I have since located other living arrangements and have a move-in date for next Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted the apartment manager through their website but have not received a response in regard to my request for a full refund of the security deposit and have requested my bank to refund the money to my account through an EFT dispute. My bank account is overdrawn, and I need the money returned to my account urgently.

The presence of a derogatory rating on my account is deeply concerning to me.

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..

Complaint:
I quit XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. They refused to port my number over to my new carrier and charged me for 2 months thereafter when I had no cell service. Some months later, I was sent to one collection agency after another for a bill of {$100.00} that I did not owe. I'd call and explain the situation and every agency sent the " debt '' back to XXXX. This has been a continual harassment since then. Now I have Jefferson Capital LLC of XXXX XXXX, MN reporting this as a derogatory on my credit report. I called them today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and was told that they would put it into dispute but the rep there could not tell me what that meant or what would happen going forward. My XXXX score has crashed by XXXX points over this one item that is false reporting. My XXXX was XXXX and is now XXXX on XXXX. This is the only change in a while other than their usual minor blips. I pay any bills that I owe legitimately and on time. I do not, however, pay bills that I do not owe. XXXX and Jefferson Capital are responsible for damage to my credit score and my peace of mind. Three years of this harassment is just too much!

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

Complaint:
I have initiated disputes for the listed items on my credit report, and I have serious doubts regarding the thoroughness of the investigation conducted by your company. Regrettably, the requested evidence to substantiate the account has not been provided, and the documents I submitted as proof of the inaccuracy of these items have seemingly been overlooked. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), your company is obligated by federal law to undertake physical verification of the original signed certified consumer contract for all accounts submitted for posting or reporting on a credit report. Given the absence of this essential verification, I insist that these accounts be promptly removed. 
In light of the FCRA 's requirements, I kindly request the immediate deletion of these disputed accounts from my credit report, ensuring compliance with federal law.

Complaint:
My identity was stolen and someone used it to open accounts in my name. It has been an absolute nightmare and I can't seem to get anything resolved I'm almost at the point of giving up. XXXX keeps sending me a statement they have on file for me for {$210.00} for an account I never heard or opened each time I dispute with them, its getting ridiculous I'm just going in circles with an account I never opened. I've sent my police report number, notarized identity theft affidavit, frozen my credit report, spoke with them on the phone multiple times but all they do is send me mail with the fraudulent account and nothing is ever resolved and they are not interested in helping resolve anything what so ever.

They then charged me fees for this account when I wasnt depositing money into it.

In XXXX, XXXX  the consumer completed an online credit application with American Express and after completing the application the consumer has become a victim of " unauthorized use of credit '' pursuant to 15 U.S.Code 1602 ( p ) and being " discriminated against '' pursuant to 15 U.S.Code 1691 ( a ) ( 3 ). Furthermore, American Express has obtained the consumer 's " consumer report '' under false pretenses pursuant to 15 U.S.Code 1681q because American Express does not have " permissible purpose '' pursuant to 15 U.S.Code 1681b. Pursuant to the Consumer Credit Protection Act, including but not limited to, Truth In Lending ( 15 U.S.C 1601 et seq ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.Code 1681 et seq. ) and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( 15 U.S.Code 1691 eq seq ), American Express actions are of the following " unauthorized use of credit '', " obtaining information under false pretenses '' and " discrimination '' which is a civil violation ( 15 U.S.Code 1681n, 15 U.S.Code 1681o and 15 U.S.Code 1691e ) and criminal violation ( 15 U.S.Code 1611 and 15 U.S.Code 1681q ) with respect to the consumer.
