Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: Upgrade, Inc. (CO)

I have two credit cards with Upgrade. One had over {$11000.00} credit limit, lower it to {$7800.00}, and the other {$2500.00} card was lowered to {$1800.00}. I have NEVER MISSED a payment! NEVER!!!! They have dropped my limits on both cards to what I owe. 

Now I will accrue overage charges each month, when they add the interest, they will now get an overage charge each month since they lower limit to balance. I had stopped using it to pay it down and guess this is how they get top me. Now they show me at 100 % usage on both cards since they lower the limits today. 

This is a scam and this credit card company represents itself as a credit card company but then it shows up as loans. The minimum payments are outrageous compare to my many other credit cards. They are doing this to make more money and I don't think it is right to do consumers such as they have done. 

I have not had any of my other credit cards do this. There has been no changes to income, payments are ALWAYS on time and I had lots of available credit left until today. 

I hope they are investigated for bad business practices.

Company: Convergent Resources, Inc. (AL)

In XX/XX/2018 Convergent Outsourcing contacted me about what turns out was an old XXXX bill for {$750.00}, which was incorrect way back a long time ago. I told the representative, who sounded foreign, that I do not owe that because it was discharged several years prior because I had contacted XXXX  a long time ago and they told me it had been discharged. He began to raise his voice and tell me I was wrong and yell. I told him I wasn't paying it and they need to remove it because it should not be on my credit report. He kept talking over me and threatened to report it on my credit, which they did immediately. I told him not to ever call me or contact me in any way again. Since then, it keeps getting reported to look like there are late payments and at first glance it looks like it's an account that was opened in XXXX of 2018 because they actually had reported it then. It has been updated every month since XX/XX/2018 and looks like late payments. I do not owe these people and I want it removed from any credit bureau they have reported it to. I was so upset after this guy 's harassing call, I was in tears. I have enough on my plate with health problems and stress in my family. Please, please help me get this removed. I have read other peoples ' issues in dealing with this company and some are very similar to mine and worse. Thank you.

Company: Klima, Peters & Daly, P.A. (VA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, a representative from Klima, Peters & Daily stated that a sheriff would serve me in my home with a court order and that I was in serious legal problem. I was informed that Klima, Peters & Daily had already processed the court order claim and that I should have checked with the court for my hearing date. She added that the hearing court had passed, and the sheriff was coming to my house. I mentioned that I should have received prior communication from them when filing a claim with the court. The lady was adamant in repeating that I was in serious legal trouble.

I had contacted Klima, Peters, and Daily in response to a letter from them explaining that I had filed a cease and desist letter in XXXX to a prior collector for the same debt. I further explained that I had been a victim of credit fraud and the charges were not mine and that I had filed my case with the FTC and Virginia

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA, you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me.

Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Equifax concerning their inaccurate reporting practices to the Consumer Reporting Agencies.

My complaint pertains to the following issues : 1. Inaccurate Reporting to Credit Bureaus : XXXX XXXX XXXX has reported a collection account on my credit report, but it does not appear on all three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX ). Specifically, the account in question is reported to only TWO of the three bureaus, leading to incomplete and inaccurate information on my credit reports. 

2. Impact on Credit Score and Credit History : The lack of reporting to all three bureaus is negatively impacting my credit score and credit history. Accurate and complete reporting is crucial for maintaining a fair and accurate credit profile, and the omission of this information from one of the bureaus is causing undue harm. The reporting of these account ( s ) is/are violations of 15 USC 1681e ( b ) ( b ) ACCURACY OF REPORT Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual to whom the report relates. 

I have been disputing the following account and it keeps getting validated. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX is in due fact reporting INACCURATE and XXXX has a DUTY to report only ACCURATE information. 

I have attached my mailing receipts/ Exhibits to this Complaint proving the inaccurate reporting. 

USPS CERTIFIED MAIL : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX USPS CERTIFIED MAIL : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX It is ILLEGAL to retain or report misleading or unproven information, especially considering a composed consumer complaint notifying you of said issues so please DELETE the aforementioned illegally expressed allegation ( s ) here and now.

ALL claims, undoubted or not, must be confirmed to be currently and fully true, CORRECT, COMPLETE, TIMELY, of my OWNERSHIP, of my RESPONSIBILITY, and or compliant to all applicable reporting laws and mandated standards, which is currently the FCBA, FCRA, FDCPA, XXXX XXXX COMPLIANCE STANDARDS, and others, letter laws and requisite reporting standards, you or any entity are in infringement of my rights.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc. (GA)

I am filing this complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) for inaccurately reporting a debt on my credit file related to XXXX XXXX Apartments. XXXX has indicated that I have not made any monthly payments, which has resulted in a c ( collection ) status being reported each month. However, I have never entered into any agreement with XXXX that obligates me to make monthly payments on this debt. 

While there XXXX have been an original agreement with the creditor, that agreement does not extend to XXXX without my consent or a signed contract specifically with their agency. Therefore, their reporting of a payment history is both misleading and inaccurate, violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Due to this inaccurate reporting, I have suffered significant damages, including but not limited to : Denial of multiple credit card applications Denial of a {$100000.00} auto loan Denial of a {$400000.00} home loan If XXXX fails to respond adequately, I am prepared to take further legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

Equifax has unlawfully violated my rights of privacy and consent as a consumer which has negatively affected my overall purchasing power as a consumer. 

15 USC 1681a ( 3 ) : Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers.

15 USC 1681a ( 4 ) : There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their GRAVE responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy.

15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) Permissible purposes of consumer reports Equifax has assumed a vital role as a consumer reporting agency. Equifax did NOT exercise their GRAVE responsibilities, were unfair, impartial and disrespected my right to privacy. 

I NEVER instructed Equifax to furnish or create this consumer report. Furthermore, I NEVER consented Equifax to this consumer report in the first place. 

I have contacted Equifax multiple times via first class mail and telephone. I have telephone records of Equifax reps responding with " individual actions '' and have committed willful negligence and repeatedly hanging up.
