Complaint:
XXXX, Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX Investigation Request Letter Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX SS # : XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I received a copy of my credit report with the intention of trying to improve my credit and take care of my responsibilities and noticed a few accounts that I wanted a little more explanation on. I am not saying they are reporting right or wrong. I am just saying that I am not XXXX percent sure if they are. I also read something called the Fair Credit Reporting Act where it said by law, I had rights to challenge anything I am not sure is accurate. Some of the people reporting things on me, I have never heard of which made me write to you all. Are you familiar with something called 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a )? I heard that if you cant provide proof, these accounts must be deleted. Well I want these accounts deleted if they are not XXXX percent right and correct. So, could you please check on these and get back with me? I saw on a Credit Site and Board where this lawyer said you have XXXX days to complete this investigation. Please investigate the following accounts and remove them if anything is missing or not correct on them. 

Paid Account/Late Payments : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please investigate if every piece of information is correct on the reported late payment history. If the late payments are not reporting XXXX percent accurate, please remove them from this account and update the account as paid as agreed. 
I also read where I can get the updated report after you investigate this from the XXXX XXXX guy. I still have not received any updated credit report from your office. Could you please send it to me? Also, please let me know who had access to my file as well. I want the investigation outcome to be sent to my address I put on the from area. 
Thank you for your time and help in this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Charleston Area Medical Center
State: WV
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
This complaint is in regards to XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number XXXX for {$200.00}, Account Number XXXX for {$100.00}, Account Number XXXX for {$30.00}, Account Number XXXX for {$84.00}, Account Number XXXX for {$30.00}, Account Number XXXX for {$94.00} and Account Number XXXX for {$130.00}. These are medical bills stemming from a car accident I was in sometime in XX/XX/2008 I believe it was where I was not at fault, at all. I received XXXX and XXXX therapy at XXXX XXXX - a facility in XXXX, OH and consultation with an alternative medicine practitioner in WV. All of the previous bills for this treatment were sent to the at fault party 's insurance company from that car accident who agreed to pay these bills and did pay all the previous bills resulting from this accident. I wasn't at fault in that wreck, I never agreed in writing or verbally to pay these bills nor ever did pay any bills stemming from this wreck and I'm not going to start now. I originally intended to include these medical bills in a bankruptcy I'd planned to file but upon learning that the major debt I had needed to file on was no longer held against me due to the statute of limitations I no longer need to file for bankruptcy and would like these medical bills removed from my credit immediately. If not immediately removed my next step will be to take legal action against the collection agencies for the harm they are now causing my credit. They need to go and bill the insurance company that paid all the other bills and get off the working man 's back.

Company: MoneyLion Inc.
State: VA
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Payday loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint:
Before I applied for this loan, it was advertised that if I log into the mobile app everyday that I will not be charged a membership fee. It says thats the fee is usually {$29.00} a month but for logging in everyday the fee will me {$0.00} a month. After contacting customer service, I was told another story that was never explained before accepting this me loan. Once I reached out, I was told that I would be charged my loan payment every pay date and then a {$36.00} membership fee that will apply {$50.00} a month to my investment account, leaving the remaining {$29.00} to go towards my membership fee but logging into the app each day actually just makes it so that a dollar a day goes towards that same investment account instead of me paying {$0.00} for a membership fee as it advertised. I would have never known this information if I never reached out to the company about this so I feel as though this was very deceptive. I was told that there was nothing they could do because since I have the loan Im obligated to pay these fees until the loan is paid in full but I would have never agreed to this loan if I had the correct details in the first place. I have the screenshots that show how the loan is actually advertised but nowhere does it break down the actual process of the loan and the fees the way the agent I spoke with broke it down to me. It literally just says the membership fee is {$0.00} a month if you log in to the account every day, which I did. Ive never felt so deceived by a loan company in my life and even when speaking with the agent that explained it to me, he also agreed with me that the website does not accurately explain the way the loan really works so to me it seems like a very shady way to get people to get stuck into the the loan and have these fees come out of their checking accounts every single paycheck, thinking that the process would be different.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Sent card you never applied for

Complaint:
I began an application process for a Discover it chrome Secured Credit Card on XX/XX/XXXX. However, I never completed the process. They requested that I verify my information by providing a copy of my Social Security Card as well as other documents. I never provided these documents, and received multiple email notifications ( on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) stating that " Failure to verify the information above will result in a decline of your application. '' I had decided that I did NOT want to open this credit card, and thus chose not to provide the specified information. I trusted they were telling the truth in their repeated emails, and that my application would be denied. 

However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received another email from Discover stating that my application had been approved, and they would be withdrawing a {$200.00} security deposit from my bank account. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the customer service phone number provided in the email. I told them that I did NOT want to open a card, had NOT completed the application, and had been told via email that my application would be declined. However, they refused to cancel the withdrawal request to my bank. 

XXXX lied when they said my application would be denied, and continued to process my application without my consent. This is deceitful, and is unacceptable.

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:
Loan Care Servicing Center has reported to XXXX that the mortgage they serviced for me was discharged in Chapter XXXX bankruptcy. They also show show that no payments were made in XX/XX/2017. That is a false statement. Yes, I filed a bankruptcy, but this mortgage was not part of it. I signed a Reaffirmation Agreement and retained the property and paid the monthly mortgage on time, in full every month. In XX/XX/2017, Loan Care Servicing transferred this mortgage to XXXX XXXX and the house was sold in XX/XX/2017. I am attaching all documentation showing the transfer, sale and payment logs that I retrieved from Loan Care and XXXX XXXX websites. I am also attaching a copy of the court filing showing the Reaffirmation Agreement was  signed and XXXX 's result of the Dispute. I filed a dispute 5 times. XXXX   said as long as Loan Care keeps stating their statement is true, there is nothing they can do. I also contacted Loan Care three times. The first time by phone, they found my account. The second time I called, they said they have no record of my account. I emailed with twice and no response from them. I filed a bankruptcy and took the hit, but Loan Care filed this after the fact and I have been damaged severely. My credit dropped 60 points due to this.

A least once a year I have to file a report to correct or dispute my credit report .Transunion is not reporting credit fairly my score was XXXX in XXXX its now at XXXX. First they added a business account on my personal file that drop my score by XXXX points. Unfair reporting, I've payoff four accounts three still show balances and the fourth shows account closed, the account was paid off not closed. It seems they report negative information than they offer service to correct it. I want my credit restored and these practices to stop. Reporting credit and selling credit reports is for sure a conflict of interest.

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I deposited a check from one of our clients into our BoA business checking account. The following day I noticed that the check was placed on an extended hold and so then processed to reach out to the bank to see what was the cause oh the hold. The bank claimed that they could not verify the check, rather, that could not confirm that the check was written out to us even though the client clearly made the payment out to us. After speaking to multiple bank representatives and being placed on ridiculously long hold I then came to learn that BoA was closing our business account with them and would not render any explanation as to why they were doing so. BoA then decided to hold the check that I deposited along with the funds in our account, they disabled our ability to view the online banking portal thus making it impossible to transfer funds onto new account in order to continue conducting business. I made several attempts to regain access to our account, BoA representatives were not interested in helping us resolve this issue, they would constantly transfer me to a new person would then give me the same information that the previous person gave, and would they continue to not provide us with any explanation as to WHY this was happening. I also asked to speak to a department manager and was always denied. It has now been over three weeks and the issue is yet to be  resolved, BoA claims that the account is still in the process of closure, and I have not received the check that I attempted to deposit. As a result this has caused a serious strain on our business andcaused us to miss payments due to vendors and such, and has disabled our ability to conduct  business.
