I noticed a public record on my credit report. The public record was a bankruptcy XXXX  XXXX under my name. Cedit bureaus kept telling me the information was " confirmed by a third party data furnisher, XXXX '' I contacted that company directly and after their investigation, they deleted the account completely. I asked all three credit bureaus multiple times to remove the account because the data furnisher deleted it so it's not there anymore, it can not be verified.

Issue: Was approved for a loan, but didn't receive the money

Complaint:
I applied for their rideshare employed payday advance loan. I was approved for XXXX yesterday XX/XX/2022 and opted to also pay XXXX to expitite the process and be funded immediately. I was approved and routed to a webpage that said to text ( XXXX ) XXXX to schedule a funding call which I immediately thought odd but I texted it at XXXX am XX/XX/2022 and they responded that a team member would call me during business hours but that they had a high volume of funding requests and it would be hours before someone would call. Nobody called but as I noticed the texts weren't automated responses so I decided to send another testing that theory this morning XX/XX/2022 stating that I am still waiting on a call and also asked as there a number that I could call. It's emergency funding ... approved yesterday soooooo I made it known that I would rather not wait days and days and would prefer to call ; as I should be allowed to call any real financial establishment and stated that it sounded fraudulent. Whomever is texting back on that phone number with all of my banking and personal info responded back that since I was asking these type of questions and seemed dissatisfied that they were canceling my application instead of calling me. I waited 10 minutes and checked the website again and my application is still pending that phone call. Something about this financial company is not right, This doesn't seem to follow any of the federally mandated guidelines or process for these kind of loans. I have a screenshot of the texted conversation and a screenshot taken just as I type this of my account page on their website.

Complaint:
This is in response to the results of my complaint from ( XXXX ) in your response you state that I entered an agreement with XXXX, so if did not have a clear and conspicuous agreement with you than this account should be deleted from my credit file. Further more no federal law states a contract in a consumer transaction is validation for an obligation therefor chase sending me the contract is not proof of obligation of debt or that I should be forced to pay this debt I am not obligated too. This contract you claim proves I owe something in fact is just proof that I initiated this consumer tractions with my credit card. Also in the additional terms and condtions section part 44 of the contract SECURITY INTERESTyou grant us an irrevocable security interest in the following to secure performance of your obligation under the lease : ( a ) in a payment under any insurance policy or from any other party in payment for loss or damage to the vehicle ; ( b ) in the proceeds of any mechanical breakdown protection contract, service contract, or other optional product or service purchased as a part of this lease ; ( c ) any refunds of unearned premiums or charges for any of the forgoing. You authorize us to apply any amount we receive to your obligation under this lease this means you have already secured payment for any obligation involved with this transaction. 
Also I was never given the opportunity to opt out of having my nonpublic personal information shared with 3rd parties in accordance with Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act 15 USC 6802 ( b ). This is a violation and an invasion of my privacy. P.S if I did owe an obligation why is the balance in the account positive?
