Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (PA)

Portfolio Recovery has continued to report an account on my credit file without verifying with me if the account is mine. This reporting has caused me tremendous stress and resulted in denials of credit. I demand to see a contract that I have signed with Portfolio that proves I have a legal obligation to pay them anything. I also want to see proof of their agreement with XXXX XXXX that gave them authority to obtain my personal contact information and allege I owe a debt to them. I have never done business with Portfolio Recovery and according to federal law, they were to notify me that they were placing this negative information on my credit report 10 days before doing so, and they did not. They also can not provide proof that they have. This company has called and harrassed me constantly. I never gave Portfolio Recovery permission to report to provide any credit reporting agency ANY information about me, especially any negative information. In addition to reporting the negative info, they are reporting different info to each agency. No dispute was EVER resolved with me contrary to this lie Portfolio has communicated. There has been NO activity on this alleged account so how are there any recent reporting dates on it? I am in position to pursue Portfolio legally if they do not remove this from my report

Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC (TX)

Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Compliance with Federal and Texas FCRA Identity Theft Laws Dear RADIUS GLOBAL SOLUTION, I am writing to address the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, in clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Texas identity theft and finance laws. This unauthorized action by RADIUS GLOBAL SOLUTION has been executed without my explicit consent, directly violating Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA, Sections 392.301 and 392.305 of the Texas Finance Code, and the Texas Penal Code Section 32.51 on identity theft.

Under federal law, Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA mandates that consumer consent is a non-negotiable requirement for any entity reporting information to a credit bureau. Texas state law aligns with these protections, with Section 392.301 of the Texas Finance Code reinforcing the necessity of consumer authorization in all reporting actions, while Section 392.305 further delineates the standards for lawful credit reporting practices. Moreover, Texas Penal Code Section 32.51 underscores the criminal implications of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, marking this as a serious offense under state identity theft statutes.

I firmly assert that I have not given consent for RADIUS GLOBAL SOLUTION to report any information to my credit profile, making this unauthorized reporting a blatant violation of my rights. Such disregard for legal standards has not only compromised my credit integrity but also exposed RADIUS GLOBAL SOLUTION to accountability under both federal and Texas laws.

I am demanding the immediate cessation of any further reporting activity by RADIUS GLOBAL SOLUTION to my credit report. RADIUS GLOBAL SOLUTION must comply with federal and Texas statutes requiring explicit consumer consent, as stated under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Sections 392.301 and 392.305 of the Texas Finance Code. Should there be failure to address this within the required 30-day period, I will interpret this as deliberate noncompliance, subject to legal penalties, including those outlined in Texas identity theft laws.

Consent is not discretionary in these mattersit is a legal obligation. I expect RADIUS GLOBAL SOLUTION to act in strict adherence to these laws and to uphold my rights as a consumer protected under federal and Texas law.

Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Credit Reporting Inaccuracies XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/year> I am writing to formally file a complaint against XXXX  XXXX regarding persistent inaccuracies in my credit report associated with my XXXX  XXXX credit card account. 

I have disputed these inaccuracies multiple times, yet they remain unresolved. Specifically, my credit report lists the same XXXX XXXX account three separate times, two of which show identical dates, and the third indicates a different date. This account is tied to a XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy, yet I continue to be pursued for collections on these accounts. This has resulted in significant financial strain, including the need to secure a loan to settle these debts, which I had to repay with interest. 

The inaccuracies on my credit report have not only affected my credit score but have also led to severe emotional distress, XXXX, and even homelessness. The continued reporting of this single account as three different entries has created a misleading financial picture of my situation. Furthermore, I believe my personal information has been sold to third parties without my consent. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), I request the following actions : Immediate deletion of all inaccuracies related to this XXXX  XXXX account from all three credit bureaus. 
A refund for any settlements paid as a result of this misleading information. 
Compensation for the financial and emotional distress caused by these errors. 
If these matters are not resolved promptly, I am prepared to take legal action against XXXX XXXX for damages incurred. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — International money transfer
Issue: Money was not available when promised — 
Company: Chime Inc. (MA)

Since Sendwave promises in their app they deliver the money up to XXXX hours ( attachment XXXX ), we had an emergency in XXXX, and we used their services to send that money ( attachment XXXX & XXXX ). 

Today, it has been 06 days since we sent the money and yet, the money has not been transferred to our bank account in XXXX. 
I have made several attempts to resolve this matter by calling their representatives, and by chatting online. And it seems like they do not really care about resolving this situation. Instead, what I have been getting for an answer ( when XXXX is provided ) is : no need to contact us again about this matter. We will send you an email when its done. ( Attachment XXXX ). 
I have asked to talk to a supervisor over the phone, and I was told there was no supervisor to talk about this, but someone would contact me, which also never happened! 
I was finally informed over the phone that they have encountered technical problems with whoever company makes the transfer in XXXX. But I have talked to someone who has used their services just last Saturday and the person assured me they sent the money ( smaller amount ) on XX/XX/XXXX, using the same Sendwave app and their money was deposited on the same day. 
My concern is : Why are they holding up our money for so long? Why is there no relevant reason explained by their representatives? Why has my money not been deposited yet and no one can give us a solution? Why after 05 days now, if I cancel the transfer, I was told I by a representative will have to wait up to XXXX business days to have my money back? 
I have sent {$2900.00} dollars on XX/XX/XXXX My wife has sent {$1000.00} dollars on XX/XX/XXXX I would appreciate your intervention on this matter. 

Thank you!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MS)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I am writing to formally request the immediate removal of multiple unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. As outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), a consumer report may only be accessed with a permissible purpose, as stipulated by 15 U.S.C. 1681b. This statute requires that credit inquiries be based on legitimate grounds such as consumer authorization, a court order, or a transaction initiated by the consumer.

Upon review of my credit report, I identified numerous inquiries that I did not authorize and that do not meet the permissible purposes defined by the FCRA. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) obliges credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) and ( b ) holds information providers responsible for reporting accurate information and not furnishing details if they have reasonable cause to believe the information may be inaccurate. 

Given these legal requirements, I request that the following unauthorized inquiries be immediately deleted from my credit report : Unauthorized Inquiries to be Removed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  These inquiries were not authorized by me, and no permissible purpose exists for these entities to access my credit report. Therefore, I request the immediate removal of these inquiries from my credit report and that you provide a written confirmation once they have been deleted. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further information.
