Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Hello, I am writing this complaint in regards to LVNV funding LLC. This complaint is in regards to fraudulent charges, and defamation of my character. I have two accounts that is currently tarnishing my reputation. One in the total amount of {$360.00} for XXXX  XXXX XXXX, and {$270.00} for XXXX  XXXX. This alleged debt has yet to be validated. Please keep in mind the difference between validate and verify. I received a copy of statements in attempt to validate debt. As defined a statement is an alleged debt, and statements along with a contract is also defined as hearsay. I already have two reports of this account tarnishing my consumer report. 

LVNV has also obtained my information illegally, which is an infringement upon a consumers privacy. According to 15 USC 1692c ( b ) 3rd parties do not have consent to communicate with consumer. There is also no law that states consumer owes debt. So called debts are obligations of the corporation that is the United States. This is stated in 15 USC 1601. Also Keep in mind I did not receive any IRS form 1099-c cancellation of debt/ reporting collections/ late payments/ charge offs. Which is also Tax fraud from LVNV. Transactions reporting as late/ collection/ charge-off/ and any other derogatory information is also a violation. I demand that both accounts deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Please

Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
Last week my Comenity XXXX XXXX card stopped working ( all transactions declined ) with no notification of any kind from the company. I tried logging into my account online and it said username/password were incorrect ( they were not ). I then tried to use the " forgot username or password '' link, entered my card #, zip, and last 4-digits of social and was told there were no accounts that matched that information.

So my account was either locked or closed without my knowledge, and I can not contact Comenity Bank via email, phone, or even social media. I want to officially close my account but I can't contact anyone at Comenity to do so.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: SC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Auto debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Westlake Portfolio Management. They have been attempting to collect money from me for an auto loan that I have never taken out, and I believe this is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I am providing the following details to support my complaint. Despite not having any contractual agreement or association with an auto loan with them, Westlake Portfolio Management has persistently contacted me, demanding payment for a supposed debt. The contract that I had was with US Auto Sales/Finance and they filed for bankruptcy XXXX  XXXX XXXX  is a debt collector not a finance company. This company even went as far as being put on my credit reports. I would like to clarify that I have never entered into any auto loan agreement or made any transactions with the company they claim to represent. I kindly request that XXXX provide me with detailed documentation regarding this alleged auto loan debt. This includes the auto loan agreement, my wet signature, any loan statements, or any other supporting documentation that establishes the legitimacy of the debt. I urge them to clarify the origin of this debt and verify my liability. I formally dispute the debt in question due to the lack of evidence and my complete absence of any involvement with the alleged auto loan. I kindly request that all further collection attempts cease until XXXX can provide proper documentation and prove my liability. In order to ensure clear and effective communication, I prefer to be contacted by mail. Please refrain from contacting me via phone or email until this matter is resolved. I request that XXXX conduct an immediate and thorough investigation into my claim. I expect a comprehensive response within 30 days, addressing the specific details of this complaint and providing a resolution to this matter. Attached to this complaint, you will find copies of all correspondence and any supporting documents I have related to this issue. I appreciate your attention to this matter and your assistance in resolving this unjust debt collection attempt. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take the necessary steps to investigate this complaint and take appropriate action against XXXX if deemed necessary. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution.

Complaint:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against EQUIFAX located in XXXX, GA ; XXXX located in XXXX, TX and XXXX located in XXXX, PA. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, causing me significant financial and mental distress. To begin with, they have reported an erroneous and unverifiable account on my credit report, and despite my requests for proof of claim, they have failed to provide the necessary documentation as required by the FCRA. Despite my persistent efforts to resolve this issue over the past several months, EQUIFAX, XXXX AND XXXX has consistently ignored my communications and legal submissions aimed at removing this inaccurate information from my credit report. It is disheartening to note that there are numerous other complaints lodged against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices, yet they continue to operate. The unprofessional and negligent behavior of this 3 bureaus namely EQUIFAX, XXXX AND XXXX has inflicted severe harm not only on my ability to establish credit and secure favorable interest rates but also on my professional reputation and personal well-being. I implore you to assist not only me but also other consumers facing similar issues by putting an immediate stop to these unethical and immoral business practices. I genuinely appreciate your time and assistance in addressing this matter and eagerly await your response.

Complaint:
I have been trying to deal with multiple different promotional balances since XXXX with care credit. I have called many times as well as done their texting system many times but it takes four to five times for them to fix something that I paid off and to take the interest back off. I recently paid something off in XXXX however it is still on my account and I called about it multiple times. I have many screenshots of how they are charging me interest how I have to keep calling and sending messages to them and they never fix it. I have been through regular level employees all the way up to managers and I'm still having many issues with them and I'm getting really tired of constantly having to fight for them to actually take the money off of my account and not charge me interest. I don't have money just to be throwing around and then stealing from me. I can provide screenshots if necessary which I can also provide exact dates with those screenshots as well. I am constantly fighting for my stuff to be paid off and then to not put interest on my card but they're making impossible to pay anything off by doing this they just keep taking my money. It's extremely difficult to speak to anybody and you have to be on hold sometimes for over it an hour one time I was on hold for two. They also made it impossible to take screenshots very recently and I feel it's because of situations like mine. I have plenty more screenshots I can provide however there's a timeout amount of time which won't allow me to add more.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX informed me that they would in fact remove a 31 day late payment status as long as I disputed with each of the credit bureaus. They informed me they would do so in good faith. Now, since I have disputed at least 20 times total, they are going back on their promise, and are refusing to help me. I have gone to such lengths to write handwritten letters and reach out to their executive team members on XXXX. 
I received some poor blanketed statement back from them informing me they do not update any information and I am essentially XXXX. I do not accept that response. If XXXX wouldn't have led me on a wild goose chase for 5 months now, I would have given up. I expect XXXX to remove the negative mark as they said they would. They are definitely able to do so, but are being extremely difficult for no reason, when they are the ones that informed me, they would fix it. 

I want this issue fixed! It is beyond wrong to tell someone you would fix it and refuse to do so. They claim they sent me letters and emails- why do I not have any of these things? 

It seems like XXXX would want to assist a customer that has been with them for many years. Clearly, they do not care about their customers.
