Complaint:
Hello- After looking at my bank statements in details. For months ( maybe years ) I have been charged {$17.00} by Equifax for a service I never signed up. I know I asked for my credit score and report but never signed up for any recurring charge. I know I have it on my statements for at least 1 year and even before that charged around the XXXX of every month. I am so upset because I never signed up for this and I never even logged in to Equifax or anything to sign up for this. This is theft by deception.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: LA
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Sub-issue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold

Complaint:
I purchased a used car XX/XX/XXXX financed through Westlake Financial. The car was repossessed in XX/XX/XXXX. I did not get any paperwork saying the car was being sold nor did I receive paperwork saying the car had been sold and that I owed the balance. I recently was shown multiple violations to my auto contract and requested a copy of my contract from Westlake Financial XX/XX/XXXX and a week later, that's when I was served a citation through District court saying I owed. I do feel this was a adverse action but according to our signed contract, per the Westlake, we must go through Arbitration and not the courts. I filed a motion to dismiss and compel arbitration - no waiver of rights. I will show that his contract is subject to the Truth In Lending Act, and that Westlake is a creditor as defined in 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( g ). The term finance charge refers to the total of all charges, as defined by 15 U.S. Code 1605 ( a ). The finance charge, according to15 U.S. Code 1605 ( a ) ( 2 ), is supposed to include the Service Contract Fee and these charges were not included but charged additionally. The finance charge does not include cash comparables. I was charged a down payment in the amount of {$2500.00} Charging a down payment where no cash should have been included is a violation of TILA. This is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1640 ( a ) for failing to comply with TILA. I was told that I must have insurance to take possession of the vehicle but it says in 12 CFR 1026.4 ( b ) ( 8 ) that property insurance is required, and because it is required it was supposed to be included in the Finance Charge. It was not included in the Finance Charge therefore you, the Creditor, violated U.S. Code 1605 ( c ). It is clear that Westlake Financial would be held liable under criminal liability in the court of law in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1611 ( a ) as for Whoever willfully and knowingly gives false or inaccurate information throughout this agreement governed by the Truth in Lending Act.

Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
In XXXX of 2022, I recieved an email on my student email about a job opportunity. I was late to notice that email, but I replied to it on XX/XX/XXXX. The email was from someone pretending to be from the World Health Organization. I was told that I would be helping the disabled get the items they needed. I would be sent a check to deposit via mobile deposit through the XXXX XXXX app. After giving her my ID she sent me a check via email and told me to print the pictures out and deposit them through the app. She never once asked me for my social security nor any money so I didnt think that it would be a scam. Plus the email was sent to my student account. At the time I was very inexperienced with mobile deposits and the app itself. After the check was deposited XXXX XXXX closed both of my accounts ( checking and savings ), which was understandable since the check was fraud ( which I didnt know at the time ). I tried to call XXXX XXXX and even visited two branches in person ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ). None of them helped much except XXXX XXXX which helped me open a new checking account. Which was also closed after a few days. I tried to open a new account through XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX but they also rejected my application because of what happened with XXXX XXXX. The story is being misunderstood and misinterpreted by XXXX XXXX and I cant seem to explain my story to them.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
CEASE AND DESIST AMERICAN EXPRESS Pursuant to 15 USC 1692c. ( c ) I am notifying you in writing that I refuse to pay this alleged debt, and I am demanding that you cease all forms of communication with me through any and all mediums.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1692c. ( c ) ( 2 ) I am invoking my specified remedy as a consumer, and the original creditor I am demanding all of the following : Do NOT close my account ( s ) without my authorized permission. 
Zero out the balance on this account.

Do not seize or attempt to seize anything in my possession.

I initiated this transaction with my credit card ( social security card number ), and this ensures that my account is paid in full in 15 USC 1602 ( l ). I did not fill out a loan application because banks can not lend money ( 12 USC 1431 ) -this looks a lot like fraud to me. I am the consumer, and should benefit from this transaction. 
American Express, you did not lend these funds to me to utilize the account ending in 92001. I participated in a consumer credit transaction using my social security number ( credit card ) and not a loan Pursuant to 15 USC 1602 ( i ). At this point I have determined that I am not going to allow my rights to be violated anymore by you. 
American Express is involved in fraud in many ways, and you knowingly violated me with the fact that any balance over {$1.00} should be credited to my account. I am requesting you to refund any part of the amount of the remaining credit balance, leave my account open to utilize each and every month. 
American Express, by federal law definition you are a debt collector which means any personor who regularly collects or attempts to collect, directly or indirectly, debts owed or due or asserted to be owed or due another. 

Best regards, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I contacted Fedloan a month ago about receiving a refund for payments made to them during the COVID pause. This particular loan was paid off to Fedloan during that time as well as a portion of another payment to that same loan. I explained to them that because I paid off the loan before my loan servicer was changed to XXXX, that Fedloan would need to submit the request to the department of education. They understood/agreed and said that they would submit the request but apparently have still not done so a month later. I have contacted them 3 times since that first call and they refuse to give any more information than " my request has been received. ''
