Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
Called MOHELA on XX/XX/XXXX to ask for COVID-19 loan repayments refunded in full, all payments since XX/XX/XXXX, which is {$15000.00}. I was told by MOHELA operator that it would take 30 days and that I will be refunded through check. Even when I asked if I could be refunded through direct deposit, the operator said no it could only be through check. I asked if I could have confirmation for that request, either an email or a confirmation number, and was told that no there would be no confirmation. I called again on XX/XX/XXXX to follow up on progress and confirm request. I was told that it was received, said it could take 60 days, and that payment will be refunded the same way in which it was paid for, which was direct deposit. I am getting misinformation on the status of my refund and do not know what is right. It is now past the 30 days estimate and there has been no change or update on receiving my refund.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: WI
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
I was introduced to the idea of borrowing money for large purchases starting at the age of XXXX for a college tuition. Several years later, I took out a car loan, which was required to provide transportation to and from school and work. Following graduation, I opened a credit to begin planning an engagement ring purchase to propose to my current wife - the love of my life. 

In every instance mentioned above, borrowing money was necessitated by the amount of money available to me in order for me to exercise my constitutional rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of am happiness. 

While the standard American Dream of going to college, getting a job, getting married, buying a house, and having kids was deeply engrained in my life growing up, financial education was not. As a result, with only a piggy bank concept of saving, and an extremely basic idea of how interest worked, I was forced to opt in to predatory binding contracts in order to exercise my constitutional rights. 

Like many others before me, instead of helping to exercise multiple rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, the companies involved with the money I borrowed instead stripped these UNALIENABLE rights from me. Instead of focusing on the things that mattered, I was instead always focusing on money, and how I would make ends meet.

One thing led to another, and before I knew it, there was no recovering from the debt I found myself in. I began making bad financial decisions because the good ones didnt seem to make any more of a difference to being financially free and independent. 

I am now separated from my wife, friends, and family, on the brink of homelessness, with {$15.00} in my bank account, and {$22000.00} worth of debt. I am tired, I am scared, I am lonely, and I am depressed. 

I now realize that I was never free with the education unrealistic dreams made available to me. I now realize that my tax money has never been responsibly used to address these issues in our society. I now realize that the land of the free means the land owned by the rich, and that the home of the brave means the poor people that live there. 

I would love more than anything to be proven wrong and to be given a fair chance at actually obtaining life, liberty, and happiness, but I no longer believe it will happen. The constitution is just an old piece of paper to me now ; the purpose and meaning has faded more than words ...

Complaint:
REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!! 
I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   and XXXX XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, XXXX XXXX or Equifax respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary XXXX score has gone too far, including but not limited to XXXX   XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you.

Complaint:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

If you do not provide any records & claim the items are verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

Complaint:
I am complaining about the company Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC ; XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, VA XXXX. Their parent company is PRA Group , INC., which is a for profit stock-based group which answers to shareholders. According to their Q1 XX/XX/XXXXEarnings Call, In the Americas, the cash collections in core  and insolvency were {$340.00} XXXX, a new record for PRA. We broke the old record from Q2 of XXXX. Our cash results have been so strong that any of the past 5 quarters would have been a new record, if it was compared to any quarter prior to XXXX. In the U.S.,  cash collected per hour paid increased 24 % from the first quarter of XXXX, which sets a new Q1 record. 

The reason I mention this is because it explains why I have been harassed by PRA for a debt that I do not owe them. PRA is obligated to their shareholders which means they need to do whatever means necessary in order to collect a debt. I enrolled with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. One of the accounts that I was enrolled with was XXXX XXXX, which was later purchased by PRA in XX/XX/XXXX. I was already enrolled with XXXX and PRA kept calling me. I kept telling them I was enrolled in XXXX. They did not listen and kept calling. In XX/XX/XXXX, PRA placed a collection on my credit report. I receive a monthly credit report with monitoring which is how I found out there was a change to my credit report. This XXXX account will be paid off in XX/XX/XXXX, but PRA waited until XX/XX/XXXX to place a collection on my credit report. First of all, it is not my fault they did not do their diligence by purchasing an account from XXXX that was enrolled with XXXX. Secondly, had I not have been in XXXX, why didnt they immediately place a collection on my credit report when they purchased my account from XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX? Why did they wait until XX/XX/XXXX when there was only five months of payments left? PRA is conducting nefarious business practices in order to appease their shareholders to maintain their increased YoY results. 

I filed a XX/XX/XXXXcomplaint a couple months ago, but it has gone nowhere. PRA is obligated to its shareholders and will do anything possible to attempt to collect this debt, even if it means trying to destroy my credit by placing a collection on my credit report. I have provided the supporting documentation that shows the account numbers from XXXX and my XXXX account. I also provided the letter PRA provided me which showed me when they purchased my account from XXXX. I would appreciate your assistance with this matter.
