Consumer complaint received 2022-09-02
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan — Personal line of credit
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: Upgrade, Inc. (FL)

I was notified on XX/XX/2022, via XXXX XXXX that someone opened a {$4000.00} personal loan in my name in XX/XX/2022. As a case of identity theft, I froze my credit lines and social security number. I also created a police report with the XXXX XXXX Police Department, case number XXXX. 

I notified Upgrade, Inc immediately when I noticed the suspicious activity. Ever since, they have been dodging emails and giving me template responses. I have made MANY attempts to get in contact! The only way to get a response from the company is by threatening them by going to organizations like XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have reached out to XXXX  and the ended up closing my case and concluding that I will remain a dissatisfied customer. The only issue is that this loan is destroying my credit ( has dropped XXXX  POINTS ). They are also sending me threatening letters that they will accelerate my loan if I do not make payments. 

I have given them all required documents, FTC Affidavit, proof of identity, bank statements from fraudulent bank accounts that were used to open the loan, and many more. They also will not give me any information regarding the application, which I find is against the Fair Credit Act as I have provided too much information for them to continue to deny my rights. 

I see that I am not the only one experiencing this on the XXXX XXXX XXXX website. I do not find that this is an ethical way of running a company.

Please find the ATTACHED documents to assist in the blocking of the erroneous information which is being posted to my report. 

Here are the list of items which do not belong to me or were opened without my permission.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. 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 Credit Bureaus 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 3 Credit Bureaus ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files as soon as possible.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I do not understand why my XXXX credit card shows an Experian Fico XXXX Score drop from XXXX to XXXX, ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ). My score should move UP not DOWN. 

XXXX on my XXXX card currently raised my score to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX XXXX on my XXXX  XXXX XXXX card raised my score to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. My Experian Fico score should also go UP, not DOWN. 

Previously : Experian showed an erroneous late payment for XXXX XXXX credit card on XXXX, XXXX, ( which they corrected ), and two late payments for XXXX credit card on XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, XXXX ( which they also corrected ). I have a 100 % perfect payment history and I expected a rise in my credit score, not a drop. 

I attached the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX credit score, and my XXXX card credit score so you can see that they appropriately raised my score on those credit cards.

On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm taken advantage of and being ignored for my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax Data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. What else should I say? AGAIN, this situation is making me sick! Transunion and CFPB are unresponsive about my complaint. I keep sending numerous sets of letters to Transunion so the excuse of we didn't get it '' doesn't happen but then nothing happened. It seems that they tend to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. They are bound to comply with the FCRA regulation section 605b but I think they are inattentive about this matter. I have already done my part by sending my documents like my DL, SSN, Address and the dispute letter I sent to Transunion. Also I have sent my FTC report and my Police Report to them but still nothing has changed. They became neglectful of the FCRA law and continued reporting this information on my Credit File without Proper Confirmation or Investigation. I am an identity theft victim and I want you to do your part and DELETE these items that caused me so much stress.

In accordance with the FCRA Everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report. 

The Credit bureaus stated that my account was properly investigated but how is that possible if the open date is inaccurate, account status is inaccurate, the date of last active is inaccurate & the date of last reported is not correct i mean its also inaccurate as well as the date of last payment is also inaccurate & last one is that how the account opening date is same with the last reporting date.
