Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I have taken a look at my credit report which has caused some confusion. I used my social security number/card defined under 15 USC 1602 ( l ) to extend credit with XXXX XXXX to obtain a vehicle. I am a natural person, a federally protected consumer, and the original creditor defined under 15 USC 1602 ( g ). The vehicle which is subject to the transaction was used primarily for personal, family and household purposes. XXXX XXXX has engaged in extortion and racketeering activity defined under Title 18 Chapter 42. XXXX XXXX did not inform me on the cost of credit. I never received written adequate notice that sets for the pertinent facts for this consumer credit transaction which violates 15 USC 1602 ( k ). Congress makes it clear that consumer credit would be strengthened by the informed use of credit. The only decision I was given after the consummation of the transaction was to make payments without penalty which is a violation of 18 USC 880. The decision I made in connection to this transaction was uninformed. I, the consumer, have never been given the opportunity to direct that my nonpublic personal information should not be disclosed to nonaffiliated third parties such as XXXX, Equifax and XXXX pursuant to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( B ). Nor was I given an explanation on how to exercise the nondisclosure option which is a violation of 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( XXXX ) ( C ). XXXX XXXX and the consumer reporting agencies ' conspiracy against my rights is affecting my ability to operate in commerce. This is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1. My consumer report does not include a report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences which means late payments are a violation of 15 USC 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( i ). 15 USC 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) I am aware that all extensions of credit are tied to my social security card and that the United States is obligated to all debts under 18 USC 8. XXXX XXXX has caused harm by furnishing inaccurate information on my consumer report. I am requesting additional clarification in regards to the billing errors under code 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ( 2 ) documentary evidence under 15 USC 44 includes books of account. According to 15 USC 1602 ( p ) XXXX XXXX does not have actual authority for such use of my credit card defined under 15 1602 ( l ) and I received no benefit from this unlawful transaction. Without lawful authority, by using means of my identification XXXX XXXX and the consumer reporting agencies are committing aggravated identity theft and attempting to collect on this account by extortionate means pursuant to 18 USC 894. Verified responses has proven that the consumer reporting agencies arent being impartial when it comes to respecting my right to privacy.

Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
The ACH amount owed XXXX XXXX was wrongly paid to New Bank of America and instead of being sent back to consumer it was transferred to XXXX XXXX after the cut-off date incurring a late fee and fines. I received several credits, but the debt kept appearing and the folks at Bank of America failed to respond to my phone complaints, Emails, and written communications to change the matter permanently. This debt is no longer owed to the debt buyer, XXXX XXXX, and the other debt buyer, New Bank of America, formerly Bank of America 's XXXX accounts, since I am retired and on social security benefits under law. These debt buyers have no documents or signed agreement by me either and that is why they want me to provide them with the information. I refuse to do so because they have no right to it. This is a matter of increasing their revenues and increasing my liabilities with a negative report on the XXXX big consumer reporting agencies.

Complaint:
I am being sued by a company called CollectionCenter out of Wyoming. When I try to call them to discuss and see what can be done, as we already paid the bill through insurance, they never answer the phone. 

I leave messages day after day. The voice recording asking to leave a message states someone will call back within 24 hours, but this never happens. 

This is unethical and is not right as I am trying to make an effort to communicate but no one wants to call back. If you cant call me back, how am I supposed to figure all this out and get it handled.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2017 I completed and signed Federal Loan Rehabilitation forms with Pioneer Credit Recovery. It stated that my monthly payment amount would be a certain amount, first due on XX/XX/2017 and on the same day of each month thereafter. I made my payment on XX/XX/XXXX and the Pioneer staff told me that the wage garnishment would be stopped ( Pioneer never stopped it ). The wage garnishment did go through twice -- taking a huge amount of money making me unable to pay my rent this month. I called them on XX/XX/2017 and spoke to at least XXXX different Pioneer staff, including a manager, who stated that I was told that the wage garnishment would stop on XX/XX/XXXX and I was " out of luck ''. I spoke to other staff at Pioneer later in the day and all XXXX stated that I was in fact not told that and to call back tomorrow. I called back today, as requested, and the manager was not available. The staff told me to give my call back number and the manager would call me back. I have been lied to and given the run around since XX/XX/XXXX. Please help.

When I called them to ask my account balance they told me that I still owed {$7600.00}. when I asked them how could this be they stated that out of the {$150.00} I was sending them a month only {$50.00} was going towards the actual bill and that {$100.00} was going towards late charges every month, which I was not made aware of this due to the fact that the payments would be late for the life time of the debt.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX and Penn Credit Corporation is engaging in unlawful extortion by knowingly furnishing false and misleading information while having reasonable cause to believe the information is inaccurate. This was done to coerce me into making a payment on an alleged debt without proof of claim. I DID NOT and I DO NOT consent to any negative information being disclosed to nonaffiliated third parties without my lawful authority. XXXX XXXX, Penn Credit Corporation and the consumer reporting agencies involved have used my nonpublic personal information without my lawful authority to bring harm to me and my financial reputation which violates 18 USC 1962 ( c ). XXXX XXXX transferred the account in reference without lawful authority to Penn Credit Corporation which is a violation of code 18 USC 1028 ( a ) ( 2 ). Penn Credit Corporation obtained my nonpublic personal information by illegal means and with ill intent. I failed to dispute the validity of the debt within the prescribed time period therefore resulted in unlawfully furnishing the debt to my consumer report which violates 15 USC 1692g ( c ). Furthermore I have never conducted business with Penn Credit Corporation and I have not benefited from this transaction which is also a violation. According to 15 USC 1602 ( p ) Penn Credit Corporation does not have actual authority for such use of my credit card defined under 15 1602 ( l ) and I received no benefit from this unlawful transaction. Without lawful authority, by using means of my identification Penn Credit Corporation is committing aggravated identity theft and attempting to collect on this account by extortionate means pursuant to 18 USC 894. I would like to inform Penn Credit Corporation that this debt is not valid and my failure to dispute the validity of the debt will not amount to an admission of liability under code 15 USC 1692g ( c ). I have attempted to rectify this matter multiple times but due to the mutually beneficially business relationship Penn Credit Corporation has with the consumer reporting agencies, I have reason to believe they are engaging in racketeering activity. Multiple verified responses has proven that the consumer reporting agencies arent being impartial when it comes to respecting my right to privacy. Their conspiracy against my rights is affecting my ability to operate in commerce. This is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1. I am requesting notice of the amount of the alleged debt and the name of the original creditor 15 USC 1692g because I have not received notice containing the pertinent facts of this transaction which is a violation of 15 USC 1602 ( k ).
