Company: MoneyLion Inc.
State: TX
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Payday loan
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan

Complaint:
My entire account was paid off in full with Money Lion some time in XX/XX/2021. Via telephone, I received confirmation that my account was paid off and that my account was deleted. Despite this, I have continued to receive emails telling me that I owe funds to my account. 

Since my account was deleted, I have no option to sign in and check to see if there's anything owed. I have contacted the company 3 times via telephone since the start of XXXX in an attempt to get a statement or email from the company confirming that my account was paid off, and was promised every time that I'd receive an email within XXXX hours. Never received any emails aside from those continuing to tell me I owed money to the account. 

I'm making this complaint because I do not want anything sent to collections by this company for my account not being paid, their lack of response on this issue comes off as shady and potentially predatory. I believe my Service Request # for the first phone call to them was XXXX, the second # was XXXX.

Company: United Student Aid (USA) Funds
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Federal student loan debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
Settled Student loan in XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. Recently received notice that XXXX was going to garnish my wages which started on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Called XXXX to explain that the debt was paid. They said they have notes in their system about a settlement but do n't show proof. Tried to file a hearing to review but they said I need proof of settlement. I kept proof of settlement for 10 years at which time I moved and discarded many old documents that I thought I no longer needed so I do n't have the proof I need to get a hearing. 
This dept. came off my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX and I have excellent credit and have n't had this issue cause me any problems since the time I settled the debt. 
I believe that a collection agency has " resurrected '' an old debt. that was, long ago ( 20years ) paid.
I have read stories of other student loan borrowers who have had this same thing happen and I am not sure how to make this go away since I can no longer produce my copy of the paid debt.

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

Complaint:
I have noticed that Chase Card have placed an inquiry on my XXXX  and XXXX   credit file dated XX/XX/2018. When i was aware of this i contacted both Credit Bureaus and was told by the fraud team they cant dispute unauthorized hard inquiry 's. 

As you probably know, Credit Reporting Agencies treat inquiries as a statement of fact and will not allow a consumer to dispute them. Since it is against federal law ( Fair Credit Reporting Act -- 15 USC? 1681b ) for an entity to view a consumer 's credit report without a " permissible purpose, '' I am writing to inquire as to your alleged purpose, for doing so since I did not apply for employment with your organization nor did I request credit from your organization. 

Both XXXX  and XXXX report that you pulled a hard inquiry. 


Based on the evidence in my possession, this inquiry was performed under false pretenses as described in the clear language of the law. 15 USC? 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) states, in part, " in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure are {$1000.00}, whichever is greater ; '' You are civilly liable to me in the amount of {$1000.00} for your willful violation of the law -- performing a " hard inquiry '' on my XXXX  and XXXX   file without my permission. I do hope that we can settle this matter amicably. 

You can remove the inquiry within one ( 1 ) business day of the receipt of this notice. Or, we can meet in court where you will end up removing the inquiry, paying me the civil liability fine, punitive damages for my score drop, plus court and attorney fees.

Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX. I am completing this complaint on my own with no assistance from another party. I have sent in letters regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored by my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items with 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for ligation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

State: MD
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I currently have 12 [ 30 Days Late and 2 [ 60 Days Late ] payments reported on my Credit Report, that I have disputed with all 3 Credit Bureaus, and have received no resolution to date. The issue with most of these late payments reported are that they were not paid 30 days after the due dates, which are the 25th of every month. For instance, XX/XX/XXXX shows 30 days late, but during the XXXX XXXX   XXXX gave a deferment and assured consumers that payments would not be reported late, but it was. Then XX/XX/XXXX, it shows 30 days late, but a payment in the amount of {$620.00} was made on XX/XX/XXXX Prior to the payment due dates there are 'LATE PAYMENT REMINDER '' emails generated with " PAST DUE AMOUNTS '', which are generated as early as 7 days in advance. The emails will show payments that differ from the " REGULAR PAYMENT AMOUNTS '. For Example, the Payment amount due will show {$610.00} and The Regular Payment Amount will show {$620.00}, and if Payment is made for {$620.00}, then there is a LATE PAYMENT NOTICE GENERATED, AND A 30 DAYS PAST DUE PLACED ON YOUR CREDIT REPORT FOR THE DIFFERENCE OF {$2.00}. 
This is highly unfair business practice, due to the fact that the Company generates the notices and even when you logon to the payment portal to make payments, it will show ONE AMOUNT BEING DUE AND A DIFFERENT AMOUNT AS REGULAR  PAYMENT. My issue is, how the payment can be considered late, if the amount paid is according to what is showing due, and moreover, the amount paid is OVER the amount showing due. 
Also, I was informed by a XXXX representative that there is a 15 day grace period after the loan payment due date, so again how are the payments considered 30 / 60 days past due. 
I am not sure if this Credit Union is an accredited business, but what I do know is their business practices are FAR OFF, and for that reason this Bank needs to be investigated. There are only a few representatives at XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXXbeing one of them ), who are willing to really help and assist the Loan Customers.
