Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: Mercury Financial Intermediate LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I used my Mercury credit card to pay {$100.00} to a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to assist with fighting a using a cellphone while driving ticket. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in contesting the ticket. Per XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  money-back guarantee, I was entitled to a {$49.00} refund from the {$100.00} payment. 

On XX/XX/year>, I contacted XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, provided proof that my ticket wasnt dismissed, and requested the refund. I was assured the refund would be processed. However, after not receiving it, I followed up again on XX/XX/year>. This time, they claimed the refund had already been processed but promised to process it again. 

I contacted Mercury to confirm whether a refund had been issued, and they confirmed no refund had been processed. As a result, I initiated a dispute with Mercury, providing an email thread from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX stating I would receive a refund. Mercury issued a provisional credit of {$100.00} but later reversed it after the merchant clarified that only $ XXXX under their money-back guaranteewas eligible for a refund. The remaining balance was for additional services I had purchased, bringing the total to {$100.00}. 

Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX has not issued the {$49.00} refund, and I have supplied Mercury with written proof of my entitlement. Mercury has yet to credit the {$49.00} back to my account, despite countless calls, requests to speak with supervisors, and alleged escalations. Furthermore, Mercury has charged me interest on the {$49.00} amount.

Company: MOHELA
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from MOHELA on XX/XX/year>, stating that interest will continue to accrue on my loans while they are in forbearance ; however, according to studentaid.gov, " If you are in the SAVE forbearance : As described above, ED has placed borrowers currently enrolled in the SAVE Plan ( previously known as the Revised Pay As You Earn, or REPAYE, Plan ) into a general forbearance because their servicers are not currently able to bill them at the amount required by a recent court order. Interest will not accrue under this forbearance, which will last until the legal situation changes or servicers are able to send bills to borrowers at the appropriate monthly amount. '' I am in a SAVE forbearance and, thus, interest should not be accruing on my student loans during this time.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Company: Family Credit Management
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX is a Fraud. They Illegally closed out my credit card account in XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX and damaged my credit report time and time again. I reached out to XXXX in an attempt to make an agreement and XXXX XXXX engaged indenial and told me the card was closed because a XXXX XXXX company that represents me requested the account be closed. Thats the furthest from the truth. 

So, on XXXX I spoke with Family Credit Management via phone to find out what had happened, and they specifcally told me they DID NOT request an account closure. However they did tell me that they had not represented me since XXXX and that they negioiated a deal with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and they told me that XXXX XXXX agreed to a new deal which in return was ( 1. Stop all Late Fees, 2. No Interest to be Charged, 3. Stop Overlimit Charges, 4. Agreed to a XXXX XXXX Monthly Payment ) there was no mention of closing the account down. 

I tried in good faith to establish an agreement with XXXX XXXX for me to pay my debt off in 4 easy payments in return for removal of the bad credit files in which they illegally reported to the Credit Bureaus violating the agreement they made with the debt management company. But instead of establishing professionalism they placed me on hold where a few minutes on hold someone picked upnand then hung up the call. Totally Disrepectful and Uncalled For

Complaint narrative:
The original creditor XXXX, falsely tried assigning move out charges to us for janitorial, painting, and carpet. All of which, under California Civil code are wear and tear, and are the responsibility of the landlord, XXXX ( owned by XXXX ). At the time, we disputed these charges with the original creditor, on the fact that we did not leave the apartment damaged more than normal wear and tear. We had our attorney send a letter pointing out these facts and the California Civil Law code to XXXX. After that time, we never heard back from XXXX. 

In XXXX  the balance was placed for collection with GENESIS CREDIT MANAGEMENT LLC ( Also known as COLUMBIA DEBT RECOVERY ). We have disputed the account with this collection agency. They sent over our signed lease with XXXX, and a ledger of the move out charges that XXXX is falsely charging us. I have disputed this again, with the collection agency via email that these charges are FALSE. We can not be responsible for normal wear and tear repairs that are the responsibility of XXXX. I have not gotten a response from the collection agency. XXXX ( owned by XXXX ) is part of multiple investigations and lawsuits for the same thing, illegal charges. When doing the math without these charges, this company would owe us money back instead. They took our full deposit, and still tried to charge us illegal move out charges.
