Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC (TX)

I am submitting this complaint on behalf of myself. It is sad that these companies can flat out violate the federal law like this. This is a direct violation of 15 USC 1692 ( g ) Validation of Debts. Not only have I not given the credit reporting agencies written consent to furnish my consumer report at no time per 15 USC 1681b. I will be filing with the federal courts about the continuous back and forth with the credit reporting agencies and companies who clearly know that they are in violation of the law. It clearly states that once I notify each credit report agency of my identity theft a removal of the account or information is to be removed. I as the the consumer is also the person to identify this information for validation but not one person has called me to verify not one thing. It has been almost a full year of attempting to get them to correct my credit file. I am no longer waiting and will be taking this to the next level.

I am XXXX years old and this harassment has caused me much grief, pain and embarrassment being turned down for an apartment fir something I do not owe I have filed requests under Section 609, 611 of The Fair Credit Reporting Act and complaints under The FDCPA. Rent Debt has been reporting for over a year an item to my credit report that is not mine. I even filed a complaint with this Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and they once again verified the debt as accurate. 

Please find my notice under Section 609, 611 FCRA and FDCPA along with notarized affidavit that this erroneous debt does not and never did belong to me. The debt collector sent me one page of unexecuted lease with a fake signature of mine. 

I hope the bureau pursues this matter for the violations of all of these parties.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (PA)

I am writing to file a complaint regarding the loan agreement that I signed with your company. I have been subjected to predatory lending practices, specifically with regards to the lack of disclosure surrounding the inclusion of insurance in the finance charge, the illegality of the required down payment, and the inadequate cost disclosure of the credit transaction. 

According to the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1605 ), lenders are required to disclose all finance charges associated with a loan. However, when I received my loan documents, I discovered that the insurance was not included in the finance charge. This lack of transparency has resulted in me paying more for the loan than I had anticipated. 

Additionally, I was required to make a down payment, which I later found out was illegal under state law. This lack of disclosure regarding the legality of the down payment is unacceptable and has resulted in me being subjected to predatory lending practices. 

Moreover, the contract was not clear and lacked conspicuous disclosure, as required under the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1601 ). As a result, I was not fully aware of the terms of the loan and the associated costs. 

I demand that you provide me with a full refund of the finance charge that was not properly disclosed in the loan agreement, as well as a refund of the illegal down payment. Additionally, I demand that you ensure that all future credit transactions are offered with adequate cost disclosure as required by law. 

Please be aware that I will take further action if this matter is not resolved in a satisfactory manner. I expect a prompt response from you regarding this issue.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MS)

To who this may concern, I am writing to express my concerns with the conduct of XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion. In XX/XX/2021, I noticed that some unauthorized information was being furnished on my consumer report without my permission and equally as importantly without my knowledge. After studying federal consumer rights and the many laws that govern them extensively, I became aware of the blatant violations of my consumer rights. Shortly after the discovery of the violations, I sent a number of dispute letters requesting or even demanding that the above credit reporting agencies, removed this information because it was affecting my ability to obtain various means of credit that I know undoubtedly could improve my family 's livelihood and financial stability. Each time they would state that information was already investigated and they didn't have to repeat an investigation or that it was just verified. But never offering any verifiable proof that this actual transaction or encounter took place. My question is who gave these Credit Reporting Agencies the authority to determine independently that the word of a third party was more important than the actual consumers. By law, consumer reporting agencies are supposed to investigate all information prior to even furnishing any of it on the consumer 's report. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I, XXXX XXXX, the consumer never gave them any instructions to do any such thing. One of the most recent documents I sent to each of the credit reporting agencies was a notarized Affidavit of Truth. In which I demanded they have a Senior Executive Representative create an Affidavit and address it to me, where it states I granted them permission to furnish my report ( see attached ). They sent me a generic response which is not an acceptable response ( attached ). An Affidavit has to be rebutted by an Affidavit " line by line ''. They failed to do so to that. I can't stress enough how unfair this is to me as the consumer. I am highly disappointed but not surprised. They are clearly undermining me as the consumer.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL)

On first trimester 2021, Paypal Credit closed my account, after many years of use.I called for reason to close my account..They said I had an unpaid balance of less than {$10.00}. I had a direct payment setup from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX for monthly payments. They said XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX rejected monthly bills and they had a confusion about which one of my accounts at XXXX was setup for monthly payments. At that moment, I had a positive balance in ALL my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX accounts. so i did not understand this reason and explained to Paypal Credit that at least in goodwill, they should have given me a call BEFORE closing the account. This is a bank to bank situation which negatively impacted me, the customer. Also, at that moment, my Paypal account had positive balance but they said Credit and regular Paypal accounts are handled by separate banks. This practice is very confusing - since they use the same name PAYPAL and use the same webpage.

To resolve situation, in good faith, I offered to pay immediately the less than {$10.00} balance in order to maintain open my Paypal credit account older than 7 years.

Rep was unprofessional. I asked for a supervisor, explained all of the above again.

Supervisor did not offer any option. I said I wanted to act in goodwill, make immediate payment over phone, and keep Paypal Credit account, and that due to bank to bank confusion and Paypal Credit not giving me a call, I deserved a reinstatement of the account. Supervisor said that account was closed and there was NO way to reinstate or make active ever again ; that I would have to apply for a NEW account.

Paypal Credit is not acting in customer gooodwill penalizing a long time customer with a good payment history in more than 7 years, over a mishandling of AVAILABLE funds between 2 institutions that is totally out of customer control.

Will appreciate if you please review Paypal Credit account closing practices.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NV)

In XXXX of XXXX I notified Navient that I had gone through a divorce and that my income had plummeted by {$90000.00}. I was barely making {$15000.00} a year and the loss of my now ex-husband 's income was financially devastating. Navient told me to get a second job, that they did not do income based repayment plans, and also suggested that I rent my spare room out to make the payments. 

I struggled to make the payments and started falling behind those payments in XXXX. Navient sent me a litigation notice late XXXX. I filed for bankruptcy in XXXX. That is when Navient sent my private student loan to XXXX XXXX. 

In XXXX of XXXX, I received a letter from Navient stating that they didn't have the correct address on file for me, despite me living at the same address for 7 years at that point. They also sent me a bill for $ XXXX and the due date was one week away! I called them and explained that I had very low income and that I could not pay the amount they wanted me to pay. They went through my income with me and still insisted that I made enough to pay the amount they wanted. I told them that I have XXXX small children living with me and that did not matter nor was it taken into consideration during their income status questionnaire. I put my loans in deferment in XXXX of XXXX. Navient had originally said that I could put my loans in deferment for 6 months but the actual deferment period was only 4 months. 

When my deferment was over, I tried again to explain to them my situation. They did not tell me that I didn't have to disclose my alimony payments in my income information and tricked me into disclosing that information. They asked for that information and did not say that I did not have to disclose it. They also said that my federal loan did not qualify for the student loan repayment pause issued by the United States government. At this point I quit trying to work with them. 

Navient has- Sent my private student loan ( originally a XXXX bank loan ) to a collection agency called XXXX XXXX in XXXX during my bankruptcy. 

Navient has- not followed the federal guidelines placed on my federal loans and have been trying to collect on those loans since XXXX of XXXX. 

Navient has- called me at least 10 times a day for the past six months. They are starting to call my family members to collect the debt. 

Navient has- Sent me a litigation notice. 

Navient has- Ruined my credit even further by putting my federal loan in default as of XXXX of XXXX. 

Combined, both the private and federal loans total to about {$75000.00}.
