Complaint:
XXXX XXXX - This is a complaint for timeshare company XXXX XXXX. We spoke with one of their employees but unfortunately I don't have the names of all the people we dealt with. They were introduced as representative & not a salesperson, claimed to not work on commission. They told us we're making good financial investment, that the investment would increase in value, they kept saying this was an investment repeatedly during the hours of the sales pitch, & promised us things would be positively different each time things got worse. We were told that it has some tax benefits. There were multiple times they said they needed " corporate '' approval in order to give me the price being offered like we're being given the privelege of getting this special offer. We felt pressured and rushed when they told us it's our last chance at the lowest price. They never made us aware of the maintenance fees. At one point they took our ID during this process. We actually requested to cancel, but obviously they never cancelled it. This timeshare just doesn't help us at all & just adding financial difficulties, when we're still supporting our XXXX daughters ' education. We experience stress due to this timeshare 's financial commitment & out inability to use the promises they made. We even lose sleep over the stress caused by this timeshare. I'm sure we were profiled, being a physician with adequate income. We had the worst experience with this timeshare, the hollow promises of multiple Florida resort options that had never been available as a XXXX member but still being responsible for all the finances for these five years. Not processing our cancellation request back in XXXX, promises that were never met, maintenance fees that we were never made aware of during sales & lastly the stress & financial difficulties caused by this timeshare. We were simply defrauded & lied to. I wasn't able to provide XXXX 's email address but here 's their Contact Us page for reference : XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I am writing to address an ongoing issue with fraudulent items on my credit report. Despite my initial dispute, these items persist, and I am making a second attempt to have them removed as they are significantly affecting my financial standing. 

I previously contacted your organization to dispute the presence of fraudulent items on my credit report. These items are not an accurate reflection of my financial history and have caused substantial harm to my credit score, making it challenging to obtain loans, secure favorable interest rates, and achieve my financial goals.

I have attached the following supporting documentation for your review : Copies of all previous correspondence and dispute letters submitted to your bureau regarding the fraudulent items.

Evidence substantiating the fraudulent nature of these items, such as police reports, affidavits, or any other relevant documentation.

Documentation highlighting my responsible financial behavior and positive credit history.

Despite my initial efforts, the fraudulent items continue to negatively impact my credit report. I am deeply concerned that these inaccuracies may further hinder my ability to secure housing, employment, or access credit services, and they pose a significant threat to my financial well-being.

I formally request a thorough reinvestigation into this matter. I urge you to take prompt action to remove the fraudulent items from my credit report and ensure that my credit history accurately represents my financial responsibility.

Furthermore, please provide written confirmation of the resolution and the steps taken to rectify the situation. I expect a timely response in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) guidelines, which require a response within 30 days of a dispute.

Failure to address this matter in a satisfactory manner will leave me with no choice but to explore the legal remedies available to me under the FCRA and other applicable laws. I am asking for your immediate assistance to remove these fraud items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I have disputed Zion Debt Collections MULTIPLE times. Experian continues to report it even though the collection agency has provided NO proof of verification. The collection was removed in 2020 yet experian allowed it to be added back with no verification and without notifying me XXXX days prior as required thus giving me no time to dispute. The collection agency provided no XXXX day letter prior to attempting to adding it giving me no time to dispute. Experian has drawn this out and it is affecting my credit substantially. The collection company continues to repeat the same information and provides NO proof. I keep attaching these conversations from email showing this and NOTHING is done.

State: NC
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Getting a loan or lease
Sub-issue: Changes in terms mid-deal or after closing

Complaint:
In the years XXXX I entered a 2nd agreement or loan with J.D. Byrider now know as Byrider in the XXXX and XXXX area in the amount of {$13000.00} for a XXXX XXXX XXXX. The vehicle had to have it's door and window replaced from an accident and was deemed a total loss just as the previous car I purchased from them was deem ( for the back bumper needing to be replaced ). The company told me that they had gap coverage for the vehicles. I had no problem before the vehicle was hit but after the incident JDByrider claimed to not have gap coverage and now reports the balance on my credit report. After several escalated phone calls it was determined that they were not going to be amicable about the loan and their agreement. 

When the truck was bought it was filled with red mud in the vents and carpet. Which was told by the salesman to have been worse than what I was seeing when it came in. 
Within a month of having the vehicle the transmission went out on it so I feel like they felt as though they would get more out of the vehicle by taking it back and reselling it themselves. While I the consumer, a single mother, who trusted them, reaped the re-processions of dealing with them years later.
