Complaint narrative:
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. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX XXXX XXXX  never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: ACIMA CREDIT, LLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I paid off a mattress I purchased from XXXX XXXX within 90 days but decided to return it because it was uncomfortable. XXXX XXXX processed my refund, and ACIMA verified that they received the refund. I spoke with XXXX agents and XXXX managers within XXXX week ( First contact XX/XX/year> ). I was told by the first agent that I would receive the {$1600.00} in full via the payment method on file ( checking account ). When I followed up today, the agent told me that because the refund was over {$1000.00}, I would only be able to receive it via a mailed check, which would take a month to receive. I spoke with a second supervisor, employee number XXXX, who told me that because it was over {$200.00}, I would have to wait for a check. Then, I informed him that neither the terms and conditions nor the lease stated either of those policies, and I had already been told I would receive my refund via XXXX to my checking account. He said, " Well, the lease doesn't say otherwise either, and it's illegal to refund your original payment method. ". That is absolutely untrue. I've had XXXX leases, paid them all off early, always been on time, and I'm a great customer. If you can debit my checking account, you can credit it with a refund. I informed the second supervisor with the employee number above, who responded, " I'm not going around in circles. It will be processed this afternoon, but that's our policy, even if it's not in the lease. We can have our policies, and if you can't prove otherwise, then we will follow them. ". I informed him that his discretionary policy should not replace a non-existent refund policy that provides a timeline nor contradicts XXXX previous supervisors. That would suggest there is no fixed policy. I just want my refund sent directly to my checking account for {$1600.00}, which constitutes the total amount I paid. There is no policy stating that a check must be sent ; the supervisors and agents contradict XXXX another, and I've read online that refunds over {$1000.00} were sent to checking accounts. ( XX/XX/year> ) I requested electronic copies of my lease agreement via email to double-check the terms and conditions ( against those written online or presented differently depending on the supervisor or employee ). They insisted I'd receive it in a few minutes, but they never sent it. They also never sent any verification that my refund was processed.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally report that my personal information was exposed in a data breach. This breach has led to unauthorized access to my sensitive personal data, which may include, but is not limited to, my name, address, Social Security number, financial account information, and other personally identifiable information ( PII ).

I am deeply concerned about the potential for identity theft and financial fraud due to this breach, and I have taken immediate steps to protect myself.

I am also in the process of working with the affected organization to resolve any potential issues stemming from the breach.

Company: WESTERN UNION COMPANY, THE
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I purchased ( 3 ) money orders from XXXX on Saturday, XXXX for {$11.00}, {$30.00} and {$150.00} shortly after XXXX. All three money orders were filled out, placed in envelopes and mailed to each creditor after being placed in a USPS mailbox all at the SAME time and place. Because this was late Saturday night, the earliest pickup for delivery would have been Monday XXXX. On XXXX, I completed a request for refund of all three money orders to Western Union as none of the three creditors had received payment. I provided WU with copies of each of the money order receipts. They refunded two, the {$11.00} and the {$30.00} money orders but stated the third one for {$150.00} had been cashed on XXXX. This money order was stolen from a USPS mailbox, altered and forged. I have explained this to WU many times and advised them that you can see were the lines on the face of the money order are smeared. I completed their Purchaser Affidavit and emailed it to them on XXXX. I have also sent them a copy of a letter from my creditor, who never received that payment, that states the amount never received from me. XXXX still refuses to refund this money order to me and have stated that they will only do so if the bank that cashed the stolen money order agrees to return payment to them. I have complained to every agency I can and still XXXX will not refund my money. They would like me to wait for approximately ( XXXX ) days and will refund it only if the money is returned to them.
