Consumer complaint received 2023-11-12
Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Getting the loan — 
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc (WA)

I never requested the loan. I wanted to see the rates and end monthly payments. I did not want the loan once I saw it and I did not approve it. I clicked on " review order ''. It wasn't " complete '', " submit '', " request '' or anything like that. It said " review order ''. No text said anything whatsoever about submitting it. Next thing I know, it's completed and submitted. I immediately cancelled it with the seller and informed them this was not approved. I then contacted affirm to get it cancelled. They not only refused, but insisted I must have made the decision to submit intentionally. The rep was kind about it and understanding, but said she could do nothing. I don't blame her and don't doubt she has her limitations, but considering this is an illegal, unapproved loan, I expected more of an effort to fix it. Their solution was for me to request a cancellation from the seller and wait a week or two for them to cancel it. That means a loan I never wanted and the credit check for it go on my credit report. Absolutely not ok with me. My credit score, flawless for 12/13 of the years it existed, has been completely ruined and screwed multiple times in the last year by things outside my control and I've had enough. I'm done being a floor mat. " COVID issues '' isn't an acceptable argument anymore ( not that it was ever a particularly great defense. A virus existing doesn't mean you get to abuse federal bailout programs, close active and up-to-date accounts, and violate signed mortgage alteration agreements ).

I, XXXX XXXX, wish to bring to your attention a matter of utmost importance. Specifically, I would like to assert that 15 U.S. Code 1681 c-2 clearly states that if a consumer identifies information in their credit file that has resulted from alleged identity theft, a consumer reporting agency is legally obligated to block the reporting of such information within a period of 4 business days.

To provide some context, I dispatched a package to your organization on XX/XX/2023, containing my FTC Complaint numbered XXXX, XXXX affidavit XXXX FTC affidavit XXXX police report, a copy of my driver 's license, social security number, and a copy of my gas bill. The purpose of this package was to request the blocking of information in my credit file that I have identified as being a result of identity theft against me. 
It is crucial to note that I am well aware that, as per 15 U.S. Code 1681 n, the failure to adhere to this law may result in punitive damages. Regrettably, I must emphasize that I have not witnessed any action being taken on my request, nor have I received any information from your end regarding how you have verified the identity theft that led to my credit denial. This is a matter of great concern and immense frustration for me. 

I want to make it unequivocally clear that I find this situation highly unacceptable. To prevent any further legal actions and to seek a swift resolution to this matter, I hereby demand that you immediately remove the fraudulent XXXX  XXXX XXXX account XXXX. XXXX from my credit report. 

This correspondence serves as a formal demand on my behalf, urging XXXX and Experian to initiate a comprehensive investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding this issue. I expect an appropriate response to my concerns, which should include your immediate compliance with the aforementioned demand. Keep in mind Under consumer law asking XXXX  XXXX XXXX to verify this fraudulent debt is not the credit bureaus doing a true investigation on this matter. 

I trust that you will treat this matter with the seriousness and urgency it warrants, as I am prepared to take further legal action if necessary. I eagerly await your prompt response and resolution of this pressing issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NY)

I called Bank of America today XX/XX/2023 and spoke with a representative they did not have an account for me. Ive never had an account with Bank of America. They could not find me in their system. It's been reported to my credit report for over one year. It has stopped me from getting approval for an apartment. I'm applaud that a company of such magnitude would be violating my consumer rights. As of 15 Us code 1681-2 they should not be reporting information with actual errors.
