Complaint narrative:
The loan that was taken out in my name, was not taken out by me. It is a fraudulent crime. The social security number on the document, the collections company that XXXX XXXX sent my loan to sent me the document of incorrect information used to access the loan, is incorrect. How did XXXX XXXX not make sure the person taking out the loan is actually the person. The social security numbers did n't add up, should 've been a reg flag there. I would like for the loan to be removed from my credit report and for the company, XXXX XXXX, to pay me for the years of bad credit ruining my chances of investments.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of an Acct Number : XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX I 've submitted enough information regarding the fraudulent account that 's open in my name I have provided information for your company to have carried out a reasonable investigation of this dispute. If you had investigated properly rather then using your XXXX system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to " Verified ''. Since you 've obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX et, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA could n't merely " Parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/XXXX in question. Sending out a generic form through the XXXX system that does n't even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. My correct name is XXXX XXXX NOT XXXX XXXX XXXX THOSE ACCOUNT DOES NOT BELONG TO ME I NEED THEM REMOVED OF MY CREDIT PROFILE If you do n't initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as it is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Which I 'm sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$10000.00} should this matter ends up in court. I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you this account has been deleted then put back on my credit report your company reported that you have reviewed my complaint along with the information you previously provided regarding this issue. In order to verify the accuracy and completeness of XXXX # XXXX we initiated an investigation into the account. In response to the investigation, XXXX # XXXX was updated to reflect the remark of " Credit Card Lost or Stolen '', and the balance has been updated to reflect as {$0.00}. Then deleted the account then reposted the account again

Complaint narrative:
Signed up with a billing company to pay for a gym membership. The original company has been paid in full and has given me ample documentation to support that my account is closed and completely satisfied. 
A few months before I fulfilled that contract, however, another billing company which I had never heard of contacted me separately and told me they would be billing me for the same contract, but a much higher amount. They insisted that the original billing company had assigned the account to them but would not provide any documentation to the fact. They proceeded to autodebit my account, which was made possible because the gym gave them my billing information before promptly going out of business, preventing me from contacting them. 
After fulfilling the original contract, I presented this information to my bank during their investigation of the wire fraud. The second company then responded by assigning the fabricated debt to a collection agency, which then reported the information to TransUnion and XXXX. 
Upon requests under the FCRA to the credit agency ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and Transunion both for validation of the debt, I was merely sent a copy of my original contract with the first company and told that it was valid. All parties plainly ignored the documentation I submitted to them from the contract company, including detailed payment records and a plain-text statement that the account has been completely satisfied. 
The gym which opened the account in my name has closed ( XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, SC ). The billing company who attempted to autodebit my card ( XXXX ) has closed and re-opened under many names. In fact, a simple google search on their business leads to a wealth of information about their shady practices and willingness to verbally abuse their victims. 
TransUnion has elected to not exercise due diligence when investigating my account. This is evident in the fact they attempt to " verify '' the debt by referring to my contract with XXXX, in spite of my submitting plain-as-day letters and statements from XXXX stating that the account is completely satisfied. To make matters worse, they did n't even bother verifying the amount : The contract clearly states a total amount of {$1200.00}, but somehow this has turned into a debt of {$1400.00}! The fraudulent debt quite literally added an arbitrary amount to the debt without any explanation as to why, but this was also ignored. No party attempts to deny that the account in question is the same one that is already satisfied, demonstrating that this collection account is a shameless attempt to force me to pay twice. If a plain English statement from the creditor that this debt is invalid is not enough to invalidate the debt, what in the world is?

There for there insisting in buying and selling these debts and destroying my credit, any year they choose " to continue doing, '' '' since '', is unethical, dishonest, slanderess, and actions of CROOKS!!! 
Why Transunion keeps allowing this/ " even when " this is NOT the FIRST TIME they ARE TOLD is beyond any thing honest!, or, Responsible for the PHONY INTEGRITY they pretend to up-hold. If they DID their JOB, this would n't be happening. 
The same thing goes for the public record : XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX 's from XXXX XXXX Aquisitions as well!!!

Company: Delbert Services
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Western Sky Financial originated a loan for me for {$2600.00} at a rediculous 119 percent interest rate. After I regrettably and stupidly accepted it I received notice from XXXX that they had purchased the loan from XXXX XXXX and they would now be servicing the loan. They had to have my bank information to acquire payment. I agreed and shortly after that received yet another notice from Delbert Services explaining that they were now servicing my loan. After researching the situation I found that all three of these companies were in court in multiple states and were illegally providing loans. I informed Delbert Services that I had paid back the full amount I hsd borrowed as well as about {$1200.00} in interest. In light of these findings I was considering the account paid in full and they were to cease and desist immediately. Instead, they harassed with letters and phone calls for months. Finally, the harassing ended, or so I thought. After a few month hiatus I receive a call from Delbert Services stating that I owe {$2500.00} but I can settle with a one time {$1600.00} payment. 
I have since closed the account that they had the information to and have discovered that they have negatively reported to the credit bureaus.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I leased a XXXX Jeep Cherokee through Ally Bank on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The Capitalized Cost Reduction, as shown on the lease contract, was {$7000.00}. The Adjusted Capitalized Cost at the beginning of the lease, and the total amount financed by Ally Bank, was {$26000.00}. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX the vehicle was stolen and was later recovered with damages. The vehicle was then taken to XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX to be repaired. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, the vehicle was involved in a fire at XXXX XXXX and was deemed a total loss. 

The lease contract clearly defines the Unamortized Capital Cost of the vehicle as being synonymous with the lease payoff amount prior to the end of the lease term. Using the formula provided in the lease contract, the lease payoff at the time of the total loss was {$25000.00}. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX determined the Actual Cash Value of the vehicle at the time of loss as being {$28000.00}. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX faxed Ally Bank a request for a Letter of Guarantee with a settlement amount of {$25000.00}. 

Rather than sending the Letter of Guarantee, Ally Bank stated that they would need to see the vehicle valuation report before issuing the Letter of Guarantee to insure that the settlement amount was for the full Actual Cash Value of the vehicle at the time of loss. 

Ally 's Total Loss Department claimed that, per the terms of my lease contract, the insurance company owed Ally Bank the full value of the vehicle so that Ally could replace their car. However, nowhere in the lease contract does it say in the event of a total loss that Ally Bank would be owed the full Actual Cash Value, the full Fair Market Value, or the full settlement amount paid by insurance. 

After receiving the vehicle valuation report, Ally Bank felt the valuation was too low and demanded the valuation be increased before they would issue a Letter of Guarantee. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX provided Ally Bank with an increased vehicle valuation of {$29000.00}. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ally Bank finally provided XXXX XXXX with a Letter of Guarantee stating that they would release the title of the vehicle upon receiving settlement a check in the amount of {$29000.00}. 

The settlement amount Ally Bank received for the total loss exceeded the lease payoff at the time of loss by {$4000.00}. While Ally Bank profited from the total loss of the vehicle, I was left with nothing to put towards replacing it.
