Company: Lac Courte Oreilles Financial Services II (SC)

On XXXX I received an email from XXXX XXXX advising me that they " identified potentially fraudulent intent '' associated with a recent loan transaction. They also advised that I have not made a payment on a loan I took with them and finally they advised that I have taken steps to prevent them from collecting the and/or communicating with me. 

1 : There was on fraudulent intent. When I applied for the loan I felt that I could afford to pay it and when they verbally asked if I could repay it I said yes. Shortly after I took the loan my world turned to XXXX! My wife left me for another man, and basically left one income to support a two income household. The mental anguish from my wife leaving me exasperated my XXXX ( from my numerous XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) and my therapist strongly suggested I move away from the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX stop being reminded of my wife all the time. Naturally moving as well as running a two income household on one income put a stress on my finances, and for my own health I needed to make decisions on what to pay and what not to pay. As a result of my wife leaving me, my finances have suffered and I'm not able to repay this loan. 

2 : I have made payments on this loan 3 : I revoked my XXXX XXXX as I believe I am able to, and XXXX continually called me at work and asked them to cease calling during working hours. I'm more than willing to talk to them during hours when I am not at work. 

They want to accuse me ( a XXXX Veteran ) of fraud but look at their business practices! They charge outrageous interest rates and use tribal sovereignty as their mechanism to do so. I'm willing to bet that if you look closer, this is actually a " XXXX XXXX  XXXX '' scheme and the payday lender ( who is not on XXXX XXXX XXXX ) is making a killing, while the XXXX  named in these loans is getting pennies.

My XXXX  had a credit card with this company. When he passed away, the account was closed and a refund check was issued in his name on the account. He did not have a will or a beneficiary on the account. I ( XXXX  XXXX  ) went through the court to get an Order of Disposition of Personal Property Without Administration, directing three institutions to make funds in his name available to me ( the beneficiary ). After the order was issued, I filed it with each of the three accounts listed on the order. Two issued checks in my name without issue. This institution has continued to issue the refund check for {$240.00} in my XXXX  's name, which I am unable to cash or deposit. I've followed up with the company several times, most recently on XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>. While they acknowledge having received the paperwork, they tell me 'it 's against bank policy ' to reissue a check to a third party. It doesn't make sense why, given the order from the court making me the beneficiary with the account listed, the bank won't issue the check in my name.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

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

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX 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 Made On Time : I made the payment on time as per my records. Please see the enclosed bank statement, which clearly shows that the payment was processed, well before the due date. 

Clerical Error : There may be a clerical error in the reporting process. The payment was not accurately recorded or credited to my account in a timely manner, leading to this erroneous late payment report. 
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.

( 4 ) Failure to Reflect Payment : The creditor failed to properly reflect a payment or a credit issued to me.

( 5 ) Computation Error : There is a computation error or similar accounting error on the creditors statement.

Since the creditor did not notify me 21 days before the payment due date, there should be no late payments on this account.
