After currently reviewing my consumer report, its has come to my attention that the financial institution XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to conform with applicable statutes such as the Truth and Lending Act, Gramm Leach Billy Act, Consumer Protection Act, and the Federal Reserve Act upon the consummation of this consumer credit transaction. XXXX XXXX has engaged in unfair and deceptive tactics. As a result of their inequitable conduct, I have made an uninformed decision extending credit to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX because my consideration came with no benefit. Furthermore, in accordance with the Federal Reserve Act, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to disclose to me that my application was the secured collateral tendered as the payment for the full amount of the consumer credit transaction. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX also failed to disclose that collateral offered would be in check form such as draft, or bill of exchange for acceptance, and to have drawing rights as the payee to receive, and to exchange as presentment, for payment to the principal balance on the account for my benefit. As a result of the lack of disclosures. All previous payments have been unduly paid out to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have sustained multiple damages due to the deceptive and negligent actions by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Their failure of not fully informing me and providing pertinent disclosures regarding the use of my credit and withholding how I can exercise my right to privacy to protect my personal information, has affected my credit worthiness, credit capacity, character, and general reputation. These improper actions have resulted in unfair credit billing, credit reporting, and abusive collection practices. 


This notice is an attempt to exercise good faith that the bureau of the CFPB will enforce the violations associated with this transaction and to protect me from the illegal practices by this financial institution. These are direct violations of the Truth and Lending Act, Consumer Protection Act, the Federal Reserve Act and the Gramm Leach Bliley Act.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Loan sold or transferred to another company
Company: FC HoldCo LLC (FL)

I purchased a vehicle at a XXXX dealership. The payment due date was set up there. We asked the salesman if he could get it on the first of the month. He told us we could set it up on the XXXX when we get paid with the Financial company called XXXX XXXX. We signed the deal. Immediately after we contacted the company and explained we wanted the payment due on the XXXX when I get paid my XXXX check. They stated they could only extend it to the XXXX, however that would not be a problem because we had a 10 day grace period with no charges. Then without warning sometime later Car finance no longer had the loan and a Flagship Credit Acceptance had it. I noticed they had been charging me late fees after we payed the payment. I talked to them multiple times and they would not even hear my complaint. They gave NO regard to my explanation. I have also noticed my payments have not gone down as they should and I have no idea whats going on. I have repeatedly asked for a breakdown of charges and they absolutely refuse to show me anything on paper. I am so up set with this company and I know i have been taken advantage of Financially. I have a Case pending with the Florida Office of financial regulation. Case number XXXX. The company will not even respond to them according to the person who is handling my case. I feel strongly I must elevate this to another level so I can get the answers and monies I feel are owed to me due to the inaccuracy of this transfer as I believe it is very wrong. I feel they are exploiting me because I have a XXXX. I am a XXXX veteran and I can do nothing. The payment interest is something I never understood when I signed these papers. Its seems very wrong that I am paying my payments and not allowed to even know what the principle is and how it was applied.

Subject : Complaint Regarding Illegitimate Collections on Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX Credit Reports To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] and [ XXXX XXXX  XXXX ] for posting the same illegitimate collection on my Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports. I believe that these actions are in direct violation of several laws and regulations governing the collection of debts, as well as my consumer rights. 

[ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] and [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] have both reported a collection account that I strongly dispute. Notably, these two creditors are attempting to collect on the same debt, which is misleading and damaging to my creditworthiness. I have attached copies of my correspondence with both creditors, demonstrating my efforts to rectify this situation. 

The actions of [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] and [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] appear to be in violation of the following laws and regulations : 1. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : These creditors are engaging in unfair and deceptive practices by double-reporting the same debt. Section 807 of the FDCPA prohibits debt collectors from using false, deceptive, or misleading representations, including those that falsely represent the character, amount, or legal status of any debt. 
2. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The repeated reporting of the same illegitimate debt by [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] and [ XXXX XXXX  XXXX ] is a violation of the FCRAs accuracy and integrity requirements ( Section 611 ). It has caused significant harm to my credit score and overall financial well-being.

3. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Regulations : [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] and [ XXXX XXXX  XXXX ] have violated Regulation V, which implements the FCRA. This includes their failure to conduct a reasonable investigation into the accuracy of the information they reported and their disregard for my rights as a consumer.

4. Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Acts ( State Laws ) : Their actions may also be in violation of state consumer protection laws, including those related to deceptive or unfair trade practices. 

I believe that [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] and [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] have infringed upon my consumer rights by unlawfully posting inaccurate and duplicate information on my credit reports. This has had a detrimental impact on my ability to secure loans, housing, and other financial opportunities. I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigates this matter thoroughly and takes appropriate action to hold these creditors accountable for their actions. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope for a prompt resolution. 

Thank you for your assistance in addressing this issue and ensuring that my rights as a consumer are upheld.
