Complaint:
I am coming to you to talk about an account listed under my name and social that I noticed is not mine. I have sent several letters to the company XXXX XXXX XXXX and credit reporting agencies. There seems to be a confusion on the accounts being association to me and I do not take responsibility for something that is not mine. I have mailed letters to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX several different times. It is my understanding that per 15 USC 1692 ( g ) Validation of Debts that once the consumer states the account is not theirs it is to be removed. Also valid proof of the account ownership is to be given as well. A 3rd party company can not speak for a person or consumer so responding with a automated response is violating the law. I noticed some added addresses not associated with me that popped up on my credit report and a late payment that surely never happened on my XXXX account.

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX, Experian and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
All three credit report agencies are reporting incorrect credit usage that is attributing to my lower credit score. 
Credit reporting agencies are run on impersonal algorithms. There is no personal connection to the state wide infrastructure of credit reporting. Credit reports fluctuate on a daily, thus should be updated every 24 hours. 
My credit usage has dropped significantly yet my score has dropped. Likewise I have had an item removed and updated- with no change. 

The impact of a credit score contributes to the livelihood of families across America. 

My credit score should be considerably higher yet, swims in the same pool for years now. 
When will the government step in and hold accountable the credit reporting agencies to honor the families across his great country that contribute to the economy.

Complaint:
I am writing this letter in extreme frustration and dismay regarding the fraudulent accounts that continue to persist on my credit report. It has come to my attention that despite my numerous attempts to resolve this issue, there has been no satisfactory resolution. This situation is not only damaging my financial reputation but causing me severe emotional distress. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX THIS IS FRAUD, PLEASE DELETE!!!! 
It has been months already since I initially reported this issue, and yet, these fraudulent accounts persist on my credit report without any explanation or resolution.I would like to remind you that under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is your responsibility as a credit reporting agency to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information you provide to lenders and consumers. It is also your responsibility to promptly investigate and correct any inaccuracies or fraudulent information on a consumer 's credit report. I believe that your continued failure to address this issue is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA.

They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Complaint:
I just received a copy of my credit report and to my surprise, I noticed that my right to privacy has been violated. By no means have I given you any permission to report non-public personal information without written consent. Nor have I provided any financial institution, or third party ( collection agencies ) authority to obtain any information. 
In regards to 15 U.S. Code 6802 Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information ( c ) Limits on reuse of information Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a nonaffiliated third party that receives from a financial institution nonpublic personal information under this section shall not, directly or through an affiliate of such receiving the third party, disclose such information to any other person that is a nonaffiliated third party of both the financial institution and such receiving the third party, unless such disclosure would be lawful if made directly to such other person by the financial institution. 
I do not consent to any third party obtaining non-personal information without my knowledge or notice. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) was enacted to protect the confidential information on consumers ' credit reports from misuse, fraud, and theft. It gives consumers the right to ensure that the information on their credit reports is not only correct but private. 
Also in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681a Definitions ; rules of construction, ( 2 ) ( C ) any report in which a person who has been requested by a third party to make a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly to a consumer conveys his or her decision with respect to such request, if the third party advises the consumer of the name and address of the person to whom the request was made, and such person makes the disclosures to the consumer required under section 1681m of this title.

Company: CURO Intermediate Holdings

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Payday loan debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
I contacted XXXX XXXX, a collection agency based out of Kansas who was been reporting I owe them {$650.00} from a SpeedCash payday loan from XXXX. I contacted them in XX/XX/XXXX in which they offered me a settlement of {$500.00} on the debt for {$650.00}, I do not recall them saying anything about it expiring. 
I contacted them again in XXXX of XXXX in which they still had that settlement available for {$500.00}. The representative incorrectly disclosed the existing debt to what would be an unverified 3rd party on the inbound call, which violates FDCPA. 
I called them again last week and asked to pay the {$500.00} settlement, and now they refuse to take it, stating that it expired and now I can only pay the {$650.00}. I asked to speak to a supervisor and received the run around by the rep who was apparently passing messages from myself to her supervisor, and back through to me about why she's not going to take the call. ( This is unprofessional ). 
I ask to speak to the Director of Operations or the director of the floor and was told that there was only one manager in, and it was XXXX. After alot of begging XXXX did finally take the call and refused the {$500.00} payment of the settlement I was offering to pay today. I advised her that one of the reps there committed 3rd party disclosure on the call in XXXX and although she said she can review the call, she did not seem to care much. XXXX XXXX never advised me of the settlement expiring and I feel that as soon as I was ready to pay, they took it away and want the full balance now. 

I request that the CFPB does an independent audit at XXXX XXXX, reviewing every settlement call they have ever had to see if in fact they do or do not expire, and if they have ever accepted a settlement from a consumer after it allegedly " expired. '' I feel that that the {$500.00} COULD still be taken, but they are instead attempting to take advantage of an unemployed consumer to get more money.

Complaint:
This is a formal complaint against LVNV FUNDING LLC located in XXXX, South Carolina. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, XXXX XXXX has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of the many, many other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.
