Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Problem canceling credit monitoring or identify theft protection service
Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Due to extreme circumstances beyond my control, I was 32 days late on a payment. I've never been late on any previous payments and I am current with all payments now. This happened due to extraordinary circumstances out of my control. I was affected by COVID-19 and unable to access my account or internet/phone from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. I was then a victim of auto theft that lead to Identity Theft and had to change all banking /financial information. As I verified all of my financial accounts and filed police reports/investigations I noticed that GM Financial had a different last name associated on my account. They did not notify me of this incorrect Last name at any time. I was alarmed and believed this was due to the identity theft however I found out that GM was at fault for placing a wrong last name on my account. GM had a copy of my drivers license with my correct name and contract signed with my correct name. They are at fault for not verifying and correcting my contract. 

I called into all my financial institutions to notify them on the XXXX of XXXX. GM has been ( the only institution ) unwilling to remove a 30 day late mark to the credit bureaus. They are unwilling to understand the severity of my situation and take some accountability for an error on my statements/account. I have offered to submit police reports and other documents and they have turned down every attempt I have tried to put forth. From a business relationship, legally and Ethically that this is a violation. 

In summary the 30 day late payment was Due to a combination of the below events/factors : 1. COVID-19 2. Identity Theft ( Compromised financial accounts and online email, etc. ) 3. GM placing an incorrect name on my contract ( please see attached statement with incorrect Name )

Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Starting receiving calls and voice mails with no one saying anything. I answered the call on XX/XX/2021, I kept asking what the call was for and why I am getting all these calls and blank voice mails. Company would only ask me to verify my address and I kept asking for what and if your a legitimate company you should already have my address and I need to know who you are and why you are calling me. I owe no debts outside of my mortgage, and car payments and not sure why I am being contacted now. My information has been compromised in several data breaches with tmobile being the latest. So I am on high alert when I start getting phone calls all of sudden asking me to identify myself and the company on the other end will not identify themselves or purpose. I don't have any collections on my accounts for the last 8 years. So where is this coming from. I know how old data is bought and sold about consumers and the harassing starts.

Company: GLOBAL SOLUTION BIZ LLC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I received a text message from XXXX that read XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Contact XXXX at Global Solution Biz regarding your XXXX XXXX XXXX case in our office. We have made numerous attempts to reach you with no success. Balance Outstanding {$8500.00}. I want to know if you can close and settle for $ XXXX. Your case number is -- -- -- -- -- - and our contact number is XXXX ext XXXX. Or via email XXXX. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Then the message was immediately sent a second time. 

I responded, you have the wrong number, do not contact me again. You're harassing the wrong person and with my legal background I hope the person you're looking for does not see this as sending this info is illegal. If you call/text this number again, expect a lawsuit. 

They immediately responded in ALL CAPS. 

WE SPOKE TO XXXX XXXX AT THIS NUMBER. HOW DO WE HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER?? 
IT SAY XXXX XXXX ON YOUR VOICE MAIL. 
I OFFER A SETTLEMENT ON THE BALANCE YOU OWE MY CLIENT SO HOW DO YOU WANT TO PAY THIS? 

I responded, you have a lawsuit coming. If your client had any grounds, that's what they would do. Not hire an unprofessional collection agency like you. 

They responded again in all caps MR XXXX MAKE SURE THERE IS A CHECK ATTACHED TO IT FEEL FREE TO CONTACT MY CLIENT AND ALSO PAY THEM WHAT YOU OWE. THANKS HAVE A GOOD EVENING XXXX XXXX I responded : XXXX, you have been notified to stop contacting this number multiple times. What is your mailing address? You've broken at least 4 laws in this 1 conversation as well as contradicted yourself by saying you've attempted to make contact several times with no luck and now saying you've spoken already. If you think harassment is going to get you anything other than a lawsuit, you're sadly mistaken. If you feel mr XXXX owes you or your client money, I suggest you file a lawsuit yourself rather than harassing me via text message. No legitimate business would do that. You hold no credibility with me and i'm sure this is a scam attempt. I will now notify the FTC. Typing in all caps like an upset school girl, just shows you are not a legitimate business. Good Day Maam. 

They replied again in all caps MR XXXX STOP HARASSING ME, I SAID GOOD EVENING AND YOU KEEP TEXTING. 

I REPLIED : What is your mailing address and what state is your collection agency registered? Any real agency is required by law to answer that question. 

They replied : HAVE A GOOD EVENING! 

I replied : what I thought, you are a fraud.
