Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC (NC)

I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, an entity operating under the holding company XXXX XXXX, XXXX, spearheaded by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Over the past few months, I have received multiple unsolicited calls from a number associated with these organizations. On each occasion, the callers have been reticent about their identities and their company 's purpose. This includes not properly identifying themselves, abruptly ending the call when asked for identification, and insisting on personal confirmation before disclosing any information. 

Specifically, the dates and times of the calls are as follows : XX/XX/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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX All but the last were unanswered as I was unable to while working. On the day of the final call, I decided to answer the phone. During this interaction, the representative asked for my name without properly identifying himself or stating the purpose of the call. After multiple attempts to ask for his identity and company representation, he abruptly hung up. This call lasted a mere XXXX seconds. 

Immediately following this, I called back, hoping to gain clarity about the nature of these continuous calls. However, the representative I reached, again, refused to identify himself or the company he represented, and immediately asked if I was " <my name> '' This call ended after XXXX seconds, with little progress made. 

I called back one more time and I was able to speak with a female representative who informed me that they were calling from " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' on behalf of their client, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I was told that I owed a debt significantly higher than what has ever been reported on my credit report. The representative claimed that such increases were normal, and cited an example of a consumer who had a {$200.00} XXXX card but had to pay {$700.00}. I was shocked at this admission. I inquired about how to remove this from my credit report, but was informed that even if I paid in full, XXXX XXXX XXXX would not remove the mark from my credit history, only label it as " paid in full. '' There are inconsistencies with the debt amount these companies claim I owe. Not only is the amount higher than the original credit limit of the card, but I was also informed that even if the debt were to be paid in full, it would not be removed from my credit report. Furthermore, the debt is being reported twice, once by Continental Finance Company and again by XXXX XXXX XXXX. This claim appears to be part of a pattern of trading debt among affiliated companies to maximize profits or evade regulatory scrutiny.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

Equifax ; XXXX  and XXXX  are reporting incorrectly a collection in the amount of {$250.00} on the XXXX XXXX partial account number XXXX. ( Please see pages XXXX and XXXX of the attached credit report. ) I never received any service from XXXX and I was told by the representative that there would not no charge however, shortly thereafter I received a huge bill in the mail. I immediately called and told the representative that this bill was submitted in error and I again asked why I was I being charged to pay for a service I never received. Because they apparently still had me in their billing system I requested they cancel the account. After cancelling the account I received a letter from XXXX stating if I didnt make payment arrangement to them they would be sending this account to collections. I called and told them this account should NOT go to collections because I never had service and therefore never had an account. They would not honor their previous commitment to not send this account to collections so I had no choice but to make payments to XXXX to avoid any collection. I set up payments of {$25.00} per month to be automatically withdrawn from my account until this was paid-in-full. I was making the scheduled payments and XXXX XXXX XXXX days later I received the collection paperwork in the mail. I called the collection company and told them about the payment arrangements I had made with XXXX. They told me to turn around and call XXXX, which I did. XXXX told me that the account wasnt resolved and paid-in-full within the ( XXXX XXXX day time frame, so consequently they sent the account to collections. I informed XXXX that I was never told about the ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX frame and that we had made arrangements to pay this account off at {$25.00} per month until paid in full and that the account would NOT go to collections. XXXX did not honor their agreement and sent the account to collections regardless. XXXX never provided me any service however, they still were able to force me into paying them money they were never intitled to by threatening to send me to collections if I didnt pay them. I agreed on the terms of the monthly payments and they lied and sent me to collections anyway. This incorrect reporting of a collection is harming my credit score and these line items need to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the ( XXXX ) bureaus to remove this however, I have not been successful.

I just received another letter from ADVANCED RESOLUTION SERVICES. This credit reporting agency has refused to place a security freeze on my personal information in their files. This is in response to a 2nd written request ( copies included ) I have made via USPS certified mail return receipt. This 2nd letter from ADVANCED RESOLUTION SERVICES makes reference to a bogus dispute. It does not address, nor even mention my request to place a security freeze on my information. I included a copy of my social security card and a copy of my government-issued ID. In light of this 2nd letter from ADVANCED RESOLUTION SERVICES, I am even more concerned about unauthorized access to my personal information. For the third time, I would like a security freeze placed to prevent potential creditors from obtaining my personal information without my authorization. Please be advised, I prefer to conduct business with ADVANCED RESOLUTION SERVICES in writing. As they appear to be corrupt and shady.

Company: FC HoldCo LLC (MO)

I have an auto loan through Flagship Credit. I've only had the loan on the used car since XXXX. My payment is due on the XXXX of each month and I make my payments on time. The last 2 months I've had to make the payments on the XXXX of the following month which would make my payments 15 days at the most late. This company calls me every 2 hours daily! I've asked them to please note the account when I would make the payment on the account to stop the calls and the calls stop for two days maybe. I've been polite, I've asked for management and was told there's no manager. I understand there's an auto dialer system, but I also know if the account is noted properly I won't receive these calls. I received a call this morning and the person wasn't speaking English at all and didn't acknowledge me on the phone at all! Your assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you XXXX XXXX

Account Information : Creditor 's Name XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/2024 and XX/XX/2024. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Was Made on Time : My records indicate that the payment in question was made on time. Attached are bank statements showing the transaction, confirming that the payment was processed before the due date. 
Inconsistent Reporting : The late payment is reported inconsistently across credit reporting agencies, as detailed in the attached summary of my XXXX, Experian, and XXXX credit reports. 
Account Activity Discrepancy : The account in question has been consistently marked as current in other months. The alleged late payment does not align with my payment history, as confirmed by XXXX XXXX 's own billing statements, which are also attache Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX.

I received an updated credit report on XXXX. Upon reviewing my report I found some negative and inaccurate information on my credit report. I sent multiple letters off on XX/XX/2023 asking for these accounts and my report to be investigated and updated via certified letters and after 90 days they still had not removed or updated the accounts. I then sent out more letters in XXXX, asking for a re-investigation and for inaccurate and unverified accounts to be removed. I don't know if the credit bureaus are working on their jobs, or just blatantly refusing to obey the FCRA, but this is a complete violation of my rights as a consumer. I am by law entitled to a complete and accurate consumer report, and ALL information on my credit report MUST be COMPLETE & ACCURATE. After receiving a new and updated report, I noticed that most of my information is a complete violation of 15 USC 1681 and the credit bureaus have not followed the procedures required by law. I would like this information removed from my credit report immediately. It's clear the investigation took longer than 90 days, or never took place at all. I just want to know how these accounts are verified, updated or accurate if the information is still showing up this way. Please resolve this issue for me.

My credit report has certain accounts that I'm not familiar with. Since I never gave them permission, they could be the product of identity theft. Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history. I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and find a solution under the FCRA if we can't work this out. The inaccurate items that appear on my credit report have been a big obstacle for me. They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.
