On XX/XX/XXXX I placed an order with wayfair. Immediately I got an email for the XXXX order # XXXX, XXXX sends me XXXX invoices for this XXXX order, afterpay invoice # XXXX and invoice # XXXX. After seeing I was double charged I immediately contact both XXXX  and XXXX. XXXX cancels the XXXX order in hopes it will delete both charges. XXXX redunds # XXXX but continues to charge me the duplicate charge, invoice # XXXX, making me pay the {$410.00} they glitched and defrauded me. It gets worse though, because I opened a dispute with XXXX, they disputed XXXX so XXXX credited both charges, and sent me a receipt of this that I provided to XXXX. Then XXXX fraud department found they were only ever sent XXXX payment by XXXX, but since they refunded XXXX, now they show the order outstanding and that I need to pay for it! So XXXX  not only double charged me, they got the refund from XXXX too that XXXX responsible for on that end, Ive sent Afterpay proof of my now outstanding balance with XXXX since XXXX  defrauded us both! Afterpay doesnt have a number and only gives automated responses that their waiting on the merchant refund which makes no sense in this case. Upon researching it, turns out XXXX  glitches and double and triple charges, never sending the money to the merchant, therefore the merchant having no record of it habitually. Then they give they just give automated responses. This company has been allowed to get away with blatant theft. It takes just a quick search to see how common of a practice this is for XXXX. I want my money credited, XXXX sick of XXXX playing XXXX like they dont know what XXXX saying even though Ive XXXX them proof of everything.

Company: FIRST ADVANTAGE CORPORATION (WA)

On XXXX XX/XX/2022, I called First Advantage Corporation, a tenant screening company, in reference to Application ID XXXX from XXXX XXXX apartments. A customer care representative person in charge, XXXX XXXX, insinuated there was fraudulent activity on the application and that the company needed to verify my telephone number to process the application. The customer care representative pushed the false narrative that the credit reporting agency, XXXX, had required a valid telephone number to verify information in the credit report. To whit, I firmly stated that I was indeed the account holder who had placed the fraud alert with all three credit reporting agencies. I firmly stated that I had previously contacted XXXX about an upcoming apartment screening process. I adamantly affirmed my rights to the aggressive customer service representative their company only needs to verify my name, date of birth, social security number, and current address for confirmation. I sternly stated that neither she nor the company had the right to use a phone number and the claim that a non matching one in the records gave pretext to deny my application. Doing so, I warned, constituted discrimination which is illegal and it violated statutes within Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

The heated exchange between the customer service representative, XXXX XXXX, centered upon her aggressive manipulation and attempt to promote a false narrative to deny an apartment application. As a person in charge, she failed to pay attention to the protocols in Fair Credit Reporting Act that pertain to consumer reporting agencies ' obligation to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of information, and permissable purpose for consumer reports, specifically in this instance for tenant screening. XXXX XXXX completely ignored these protocols set forth in the Fair Credit Reporting Act and treated these legal statutes as minor objections to overcome during the course of a telephone call.

I purchased a car from US Auto XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and found out that Westlake Portfolio Management has taken over the loan. However I see that Westlake Portfolio is a debt collector. So I was trying to trade in my vehicle and the car dealer will not take my vehicle because of who i purchased it from. I have had this issue with several dealerships. Something about US auto is on the report but westlake portfolio owns it. They will not touch the vehiclewhen it comes to getting the title. However I noticed a few months back that US Auto has closed down due to bankruptcy. So can somebody please explain how a DEBT COLLECTOR has my vehicle and access to my vehicle if the car company has shut down and no longer in business

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "
