They then implied accured of interest and charges to my account even after I submitted information to Experian to have my information updated and accurate. They then implied at the end of services at the request that they would eliminate charges and fees and would no longer be applied to my credit services. XXXX falsely mislead me into taking action on account and improperly did not tell me information that will allow me the opportunity to continue to have such debt removed from my credit completely. The company mislead me in action, chose not to respond to request over phone as it takes over XXXX hours to get in contact with them, did not supply me with notifications by verifying debt promply as information was not sent to mailing address on file and they did not answer phone calls to make those corrections in which they then hindered me the opportunity to supply proper protocols.

We heard from consumers who described being caught between furnishers and the NCRAs. Consumers said that when furnishers and the NCRAs point fingers at XXXX another, they are the ones left damaged. A consumer, who had a late payment reported on their report, shared : This action has caused harm to my credit and I am unable to apply for another loan. I would like the record corrected, the delinquency removed and for your company to stop incorrectly reporting. I have reached out to the XXXX bureaus and they said they only report what they are given from [ Company ]. My wife has spoken to [ Company ] twice and they are claiming they did not report this loan as delinquent. Both parties are pointing the finger and we are the damaged parties. I want this issue escalated to a second level supervisor and the department that reports out the credit file information. This has caused irreparable harm to our credit file.
