Consumer complaint received 2015-07-09
Company: Risecredit, LLC
State: AL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Payday loan
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

Complaint:
RISE Credit of XXXX XXXX, TX ; fraudulently opened an internet account in my name. I did not apply for, nor did I participate in the proceeds of this fraudulently obtained loan. In seeming violation of Federal CIP standards, RISE Credit did not obtain a picture ID nor the copy of any complete, official ID document before they made the loan. This incomplete investigation has now resulted in the fraudulent loan in my name. The driver 's license number they did obtain was not my license number and they failed to obtain the issue date and the expiration date thereof anyway. For all I know, they may have absconded with these funds themselves and are foisting this loan off on me to cover their financing of XXXX or XXXX. 
RISE Credit did not attempt to contact me in writing, concerning this account before they started their " blind '' robo-calls. The email account RISE Credit stated was given in support of this credit application was not my email address and they failed to validate this information prior to disbursing the funds they claim were given to me. RISE Credit evidently relied solely on personal information freely available to anybody through a XXXX or similar search. I had my husband spend over an hour tonight speaking with RISE Credit on my behalf and am now being forced to take time away from my professional practice to " defend '' myself against a fraudulent account opened in my name because of their shoddy CIP practices and incomplete investigation. 
This situation is causing me great angst and anguish, not to mention lost billing from my professional occupation as I now take time to comply with all their unreasonable demands. RISE Credit seems to exhibit an overly cavalier approach to the federally mandated Customer Identification Protocols. I demanded that they close that loan, remove my good name and insure the credit reporting agencies have removed the disreputable name of RISE Credit from my record lest other legitimate entities find that squalid moniker on my good credit record. They have been placed on official notice that this account was obtained by fraudulent means. 
In support of performing the onerous tasks they demand be undertaken by an innocent fraud victim before they acknowledge the obvious, I have requested they immediately remit copies of all credit application data, credit reports obtained, proof of all identification attempts made, all checking account information where the loan funds were disbursed, and all records of their contact with the real applicant. I also requested they provide and explain the relationship of the agents or proxies used to obtain my credit information without my consent or any proof of permissible use, in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting act.

Issue: Unsolicited issuance of credit card

Complaint:
While purchasing a pair of shoes for Off Sacks Fifth Avenue site. I decided to use my XXXX account tided to my XXXX XXXX credit card, I was re directed to a deferent page where I was asked to put in my personal information. This page did not indicate that I was applying for a XXXX credit. A month later I received a XXXX bill for the {$250.00} for the purchase. 
I assume it was a mistake and did not call XXXX until the following month when I received the bill again with very high late feeds. 
I complained that I did not open credit with them and I was told that I had gone to the wrong page which was not the case. 
I paid their charge but I was very upset with how customers were misled.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
***IC SYSTEMS IS INEPT- THEY MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO CONSUMERS*** IC Systems continues to report a debt that was paid years ago. I have called more than 10 times in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to have it sorted out but THEY CAN NOT FIND ME IN THEIR SYSTEM even using my full name SS number, past XXXX addresses etc. Yet, they continue to report this to the credit bureau. 

They do n't call or write letters- I only see it on my credit report and then I call them. I asked them what are we to do in this situation as it 's not fair to continue reporting it if IC Systems ca n't find it in their system to even discuss with me! 

When I call- they all say the same thing- sorry I ca n't help you, we can not find you in our system! And yet they are reporting every month to the credit bureau. 

I informed them I would have my lawyer take it from here but it seems very unfair the burden and expense is on me for doing so. I do n't know how else I can force them to get this corrected and hold them accountable for this error and the time, energy and effort I 've had to put into sorting it out. Not to mention the effect it 's had on my credit score and likely the interest rates I 've been on offered on my mortgage for example. 

IC Systems should n't be allowed to give consumers the run around like this and punish us for their ineptness.

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
In XXXX of last year, I opened a Citigold checking account that had a promotion offer. The promotion code is XXXX which outlines conditions to meet to get XXXX Aadvantage points. I met those requirements in XXXX 2016 and confirmed with Citi through Secure Message that I met the requirements. The secure message stated that my miles would be credited no later than XXXX/XXXX/16. That passed and I called up Citi to find out the status of my points. They started an internal investigation and came back saying that I qualified and would need to call into provide my Aadvantage account number ( this letter was dated XXXX/XXXX/16 ). I subsequently called in to provide my account number. They informed me that it would take 48 - 72 hours to process the transfer. For the last six weeks, I would secure message or call in to Citi 's customer service line to ask for a status update on my points. Each time, I was met with confusion as they did not know what happened and they would send an inquiry to their " back office '' with high importance. After six weeks, I am fed up with Citi 's unprofessional treatment and therefore am filing a complaint with the CFPB.

Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
I Put in a Dispute in with Experian, Report Number XXXX XX/XX/2023, Challenging the validity of Multiple accounts on my Estate 's Credit file. I made it clear that I believe no lawful contracts exist on any of these accounts and Considering I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am the Executor of the Estate I happen to have first-hand knowledge that no Valid contract exists. The second Challenge that I offered for them to prove they were operating under Fraud was for them to provide a " True Bill '' of accounting since the inception of the account to prove that they actually provided a Loan at all. With These two Documents Provided and verified I offered to assume the Debt as long as they contained the essential elements of a contract to be valid. Experian Did Not verify any of these collection accounts or they would have determined they were bought in fraud from a outside agency that is not a party to the contract if one ever even existed. This Dispute was completed, and Experian ignored the matters at hand Allowing these Fraudsters to continue on the account stating that their investigation found the debt to be verified. Well, I sure as XXXX didn't verify XXXX. These Companys need to stop the Fraud on " We the people '' We are the Creditor and the CORPSeration need to stop the Fraud. Truth in lending, Fair credit Act, HR 192, Etc. Accessing our private exemptions and then spitting in the people 's faces.

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

Complaint:
For years I have repeatedly tried to update my personal information with the company. They have repeatedly misspelled and use different names to LINK erroneous, fraudulent accounts to me. Recently, I have been called by XXXX XXXX XXXX. This name was used to manipulate, switch addresses and LINK accounts to me. When I call and give them my correct information they use it to LINK the account to me, instead of removing the ERRONEOUS information. There are 2 other people in my state with the same name and year of birth. When I mail them proper documentation ( ID, Social Security card ) they lie and say they never received the information. Every piece of documentation Ive ever sent has been by certified mail so I have the dates. This company lies puts fraudulent/erroneous information on reports for profit. Collection companies then extort people for money because people have no other option. Ive seen multiple addresses, phone numbers and names used to fraudulently link accounts to my name. Ive also sent them court cases in which erroneous accounts were thrown out because a judge found that the information was erroneously being attached to me. I have provided the court information and a copy of my Social Security card and ID. 

What I realize is these companies try to get you on the phone to GATHER information from you. They then use the information to change it on your credit report and do so-called updates. Their goal is to find a way to LINK information to you, even if it isnt yours because thats how they make money. What is going on is criminal and these credit bureaus are in place to EXTORT money from people, not to report fair and accurate information. 

Ive been unemployed for 4 years and have done odd jobs because of this treatment. 

Erroneous accounts : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
