I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a XXXX XXXX XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher peoples information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items arent removed immediately.

From my understanding ; the bought the debt that was owed on a repossessed car from XXXX XXXX XXXX. After the car was sold ; first investors stated that I owed {$10000.00}. They stated that they failed to update my address to the one that I had provided ; so they were willing to accept 25 % of the balance. Due to their mistake. I asked for this in writing ; I never received. When I called sometime earlier this year ; was told that XXXX ; which is also " Michael Andrews and Associates ''. This company is not willing to work with me ; they have filed a lawsuit against me for almost {$13000.00} ; which is more tan what is owed. Now, they keep checking my credit for no reason. When I called and asked them the reason ; they say they purchased the loan,, and can check my credit as many times as they want. I think this is a violation of my rights ; I never signed anything with this company,, and I have asked them to refrain from checking my credit ; they are causing unnecessary hard inquires.

Company: ACIMA CREDIT, LLC (UT)

I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX and purchased 4 tires. I used cima credit. My initial total amount was {$580.00} and with the {$50.00} finance charge cima charges, the total cash price was {$630.00} and change. I was clearly advised that I had 90 days to pay that amount off or I would be pay a substantial amount more. I paid {$400.00} total to date and assumed I had {$230.00} left to pay only to be told by a supervisor that in fact I still owed over {$300.00} due to more fees and taxes. 

This was a deceptive practice because I was tricked into taking this finance option with the understanding I would be paying a certain amount and now I am being told that too bad you signed the contract so you should know better. 

As a finance company, their role is to ensure that merchants that are offering their product are giving correct information and not deceiving customers into paying more than was agreed upon signing of contract. 

It is very frustrating because I spoke with a supervisor named XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who basically told me sorry but you have to take it up with merchant and we will not do anything even though we know merchants are giving our customers deceptive information when signing contracts.

In light of recent developments, it has been brought to my attention that the creditor failed to furnish the required 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have allowed sufficient time for payment processing and thus, prevented any late payments from occurring on these accounts. This oversight has led to a misrepresentation of the payment status, suggesting a billing error on the part of the creditor. 

In response to this discrepancy, I kindly request tangible evidence from the creditor 's bank account, demonstrating any instances of non-payment that purportedly resulted in the reported late status. This evidence is essential for clarifying the circumstances surrounding the alleged late payments and verifying the accuracy of the reported information.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (IL)

XXXX XXXX 's store credit card. I am having an issue with late fees. I called numerous times to try and get them to send me a bill. They assured me it would be coming in the mail. When it did eventually come they charged me a late fee. I call customer service and they said they would remove the charge from my account. They never removed the charge and assured me they would. At one point the late fee was the only outstanding charge in the account, I did n't pay it so they charged me another late fee on top of the first late fee. They have records of all the phone communication and wo n't reverse the second late fee despite it being due to the first late fee they said they would reverse. The long of the short of this situation is the company did n't send a bill and charged late fees when they should n't have. They also did n't honor their commitment to reverse the first late fee, which triggered the second late fee. Now they still want the late fee money.
