Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: CO
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: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have repeatedly disputed erroneous information on my XXXX   credit report that has adversely affected me and my credit worthiness. Portfolio Recovery Associates has re-inserted an account that was previously deleted by XXXX due to a prior investigation. This re-insertion was not only done without notification to me, but also is riddled with errors and inaccurate information. I have disputed previously with XXXX and the CFPB directly, which has still not resulted in acceptable resolution. XXXX is in clear violation of the FCRA and the CFPB has not been effective in resolving this ongoing issue. 

The entry on my report for Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ) has the following issues with their reporting : 1. Clear violation of re-insertion guidelines after deletion from a previous dispute and no written notification to the consumer 2. Creditor classification is listed as Banking - PRA is not a bank and this is inaccurate - should be removed immediately 3. No original creditor listed on this account - how is it even possible that PRA is verifying this information and it's accuracy with the original creditor then?

4. Type of Account - Open - this is completely inaccurate and should be deleted. I don't have an open account with PRA 5. Date Major Delinquency First reported is listed as XX/XX/2018, yet last payment is listed as XX/XX/2018 ( with a {$0.00} balance ). How is this possible and why is PRA verifying this inaccurate information? 
6. Why is this account reporting a High Credit amount of {$690.00}? I don't have a credit account that would justify reporting this information from PRA!

7. Account status is listed as Collection account but is not listed on my credit report in the collection account section. This erroneous information should be deleted.

8. Additional information entry also lists this account as a Paid Collection but it does not appear as a collection account per XXXX XXXX own reporting. This should be deleted.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: FL
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Problem with fees charged

Complaint:
Santander has overcharged me fees on my loan. Charged me fees to pay for my loan online. When I filed a motion to the court under bankruptcy protection they provided a contract that did not belong to me and tila disclosure I did not sign. When we were to go to the hearing to object on the issue they repossessed my vehicle illegally with unlicensed agent in an unmarked vehicle the night before the hearing so I could not show up to the hearing. A violation of any law no matter how minimal eliminates the right to self-help repossession. I believe GAP coverage was added without my consent and authorization. Santander charged me a high-interest loan over what is allowed by law. Several states have already settled lawsuits on the same matters I have mentioned here. I am requesting that the matter be settled here and my vehicle returned my outstanding loan paid off as part of a mutual agreement. The vehicle has already been charged off. I will seek a class action and contact the attorney general to further address these issues and write a formal complaint if my situation is not rectified immediately. I will contact any and all state and federal regulators to further investigate the facts I have presented here.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint:
I have loan on a vehicle that is financed by CNAC out of XXXX, WI. Since day one I have NEVER been on auto pay because they know I am self employed. So payments come at different time, various ways. I have never given them permission to take automatic payments. I would pay online and always select one time payment. I have always been on time with my payments. The last payment was due on XX/XX/2020, I was lateon this payment because of how my income fell. I had to choose between feeding my family right now and paying my payment. Today was only my second day late, I went to check out at the grocery store and was told insufficient funds!!! WOW!! How embarrassing. Come to find out CNAC took out a payment WITHOUT my authorization. 
Hard enough making ends meet with this covid things going on and now this company takes money without permission. So I called, the Customer Service Rep did not give me a name. I said there was an unauthorized payment taken and I want it reversed. He said why is your payment late, I said it doesn't matter you took an unauthorized payment and I want it reversed. Again he asked me why I was late, I told him because I had to decide between feeding my family and paying on my car. Then I said so can you reverse the payment you illegally took. He said I can, but I want proof of your insurance. I said no, reversing my payment has nothing to do with insurance. He stated he would not reverse the payment until I showed proof of insurance!! That is strong arming me and bribery!! 
I again told him it was illegal to do so, I didn't authorize them to use my card to pull any money out. He told me wouldn't not refund my money, until I gave him what he wanted. They can not do that, so they are holding money they illegally withdrew until they get insurance proof???!!! Then he told me to have my lawyer call and he hung up on me!! I tried to call back and my calls are not allowed through, it goes to an automated message telling me their PO Box mailing address and their fax number!! This company is crooked!! They won't even work with customers ... but to steal money they were not authorized to take wrong. I have made all payments on time in the almost 2 years I have had this vehicle!! 2 Days late they take an unauthorize payment ... It was only a payment of {$180.00}, but now I am worried about them doing it again!! I shouldn't have to live in fear of them just pulling payments out when they feel like it!! Unacceptable!

My Name is XXXX XXXX and I'm not a huge fan of credit due to certain belief that I have.

Looking through my transUnion I recently found several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report that weren't authorized my myself. And according to the FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ), Legally these unverified and unauthorized items must be removed! Thank you!!

Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
XX/XX/2020 I was forced to shut my business down due to the COVID 19 virus, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) was deemed nonessential by our county commissioners that made their own decisions by an order left vaguely open by Governor XXXX orders to determine whom was essential and nonessential employees or industries. 
I didnt want to fall behind on a couple of credit cards with large balances. One being XXXX. I contacted XXXX and asked if they are offering any assistance so my account does not fall behind. The women I spoke with was through a call center. For what I could understand is yes they are offering a lower payment scale and it will keep my account current as long as it is drafted out of my account automatically on a day that works for me over an 8 month period so I choose the XXXX, my original due date has always been the XXXX of every month. My original payment was {$140.00}, and as you pay the balance down the payment goes down. The representative and I discussed and agreed to split the payment in half ( {$70.00} ). As months went on and dozens of phone calls to XXXX, certified mail demanding they fix the missed payments that were in fact made on time and impossible to be late as it was auto drafted monthly. Dozens of disputes and calls to XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX and XXXX, Ive gotten nowhere. 
Ive sent copies of my payments and a 609 letter to all 3 bureaus including XXXX with fail. Please please help me fix this problem. Im trying to buy a house and with these frivolous missed payments its really hurting my payment history.

Complaint:
XXXX  ; XXXX  and Transunion should not be reporting a collection on the XXXX - partial account number XXXX. ( Please see page attached from my credit report. ) These charges were covered by my medical insurance and these charges were submitted when services were obtained. I received a bill and contacted the billing department and provided the representative at the billing department all of the insurance information again however, it was still not billed correctly. I have attached a copy of my insurance card for reference. This false reporting of a collection is seriously harming my credit score and this line item needs to be removed from my credit report.

Complaint:
I opened Checkings/Savings Accounts with, XXXX XXXX/Synchrony Financial and began to use these accounts over the, XXXX holiday while I was out of town. 

The company placed an ATM hold on my account, claiming they just wanted to verify that I was the person making the transactions. 

I called and verified and answered all their questions and was told everything was good and the holds would be released and I would have full use of all accounts and they still have not restored my accounts and are denying me access to my funds without any reason or explanation. 

I have spoken to this company an additional 6-7 times, up to and including the office of the President, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and multiple Supervisors and Managers and am getting the run around! 

There is no grounds for this company denying me access to my accounts and this needs to be resolved immediately. 

I would appreciate your assistance to resolve the matter voluntarily, obviously the next steps would involve a higher escalation, up to and including legal action and the media. 

Please advise.

Complaint:
On Friday XX/XX/XXXX I had called XXXX requested a credit limit increase and what are the factors looked on when giving a credit limit increased. Instead of receiving a increase the agent on the line decrease my credit limit, she tried to fix it but she couldnt so she transferred me to her supervisor who advised me that I would hear from a credit speacailist on Monday XX/XX/XXXX or Tuesday XX/XX/XXXXof the following week. I had waited until Thursday XX/XX/XXXX and I havent received a call from the credit specialist nor anyone from CapitalOne, so I called to find out whats going on I was told by another agent that there was no case for my issue and she put me on hold where the called got disconnected. I re-called XXXX once more and ask to speak to a supervisor who advise me that he will start a new case for my account which I was now frustrated because all the misleading Information that I have been receiving I ask for my account to be closed. Now I have checked my credit report and its sating that I have requested a decrease on my account, account is closed and a negative remark from XXXX. I called XXXX today XX/XX/XXXX and the agent is letting me know the reason for my account being report like that to the credit bureaus is because I requested that way. Which just display poor customer service customers who uses there service.
