Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Southwest Credit Systems, L.P.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I discovered several accounts had been opened in my name with out my knowledge or consent. This XXXX in particular was with XXXX, I contacted them immediately through their online chat feature on or around XX/XX/XXXX and explained it was not my account, it was opened by my XXXX XXXX. They continued to try and keep the account active, and they stated it was paid in full and the XXXX month contract had been long since met, but would not give me exact dates. They also stated that I owed no monies & I said of course I do n't as I never opened the account, this is fraud and Identity Theft. Finally the CSR stated that it was indeed identity theft and services would be stopped immediately. 

Much to my surprise less then a week ago aroundXX/XX/XXXX, a collection account showed up on my credit report for XXXX by a debt collection company in the amount of {$300.00}. I was never contacted by mail or phone. This is the only bad debt or derogatory remark on any of my reports. It needs to be removed. Please help me, this truly is not my account. I believe this could be a mistake, but I also believe the credit collection agency did n't contact me at all because they know its fraud/identity theft and this is a way to bully me into paying for something that is not my responsibility. 

Here is the Collection agency info and how it appears on my credit report.

Company: World Acceptance Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Beware of World Finance Corporation XXXX, Texas : Last week, I visited this establishment and did not obtain an account with this company. 
From the beginning, as I walked into this store it was unpleasant. We waited for quite some time to speak with someone. There was a manager just sitting at an empty desk not helping any of the customers that were patiently waiting. Finally, I was called up to the desk, by the branch service representative by the name of XXXX XXXX that asked what was the reason for my visit. I explained to her that I wanted to apply for a loan in the amount of {$200.00}. She proceeded to fill out the application for me by asking me the questions that were on the application. Then afterwards she started running my credit report without informing me. So I asked her what she was doing and she said that she was running my credit report. I asked her why did n't she inform me of that and she stated that it was an implied action that your credit is run when you go to a company to apply for a loan. She stated that I was not approved for the loan. She wanted to hand me some documents that showed what she did and I did not accept anything from her. I am a homeowner and I do not appreciate someone running my credit report without informing me. I felt totally violated. The action that I am taking is submitting this complaint to the CFPB.

Company: Bliksum, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I borrowed {$2500.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. 8 payments of {$290.00} and 1 {$170.00}. If I were to pay this off today I would owe {$3100.00} after making all these payments. {$4.00} of each payment goes to the principle of this loan. I have asked for a hardship payoff due to a series of medical issues since XX/XX/XXXX. 1st an accident at work and then XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on my XXXX. I missed almost 3 months of work. I believe that this interest rate and loan process is so wrong. I also know that I was the XXXX that signed the paper. I want people to know not to do this. The XXXX XXXX  counselors almost talk you into getting the loan saying things like " I know you can pay it off sooner '' .. They basically schmooze you into thinking you can afford this.. After final payment the total I will have paid is {$14000.00}. There should be laws protecting vulnerable and gullible people like myself.

This morning I received an email FROM XXXX stating that my address has been updated with them and to call the number on the back of my card if I did n't authorize this. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS. I DO NOT HAVE A CARD OR ACCOUNT WITH THEM. THESE CREDIT BUREAUS are trying to use the address I provided them to update this account on my credit profile to claim this is me that opened this account WHEN IT WAS NOT ME. This is fraudulent! I do n't even know what address they placed on this XXXX account.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I verbally accepted the 3rd option via Telephone with chase. The day I accepted the terms was the day I spoke to the representative XXXX. I requested several time that they mail me the terms and conditions. They stated that the document I was holding was a legal document and that nothing else was going to be mailed out. This information should be on the recorded messages, as all call are recorded. 

I began making payments every month on theXX/XX/XXXX. I called it in on theXX/XX/XXXX per our conversation. When I found out that I was not going to be able to modify the loan is when I placed the property up for sale. I tried getting the full balance owed so I can pay off the agreed upon total. The representatives from chase ( Contracted 3rd party ) refuse to take my payment or give me the balance owed with interest. 

What chase did was not right. I made all the payments as per our conversation. I never intended not to keep the property. They were rude and disrespectful. They would insult me various times. They placed a lot of stress on me, even though I told them I was not well they continued to be mean. it come to a point where nobody but the supervisor XXXX XXXX could have contact with me. nobody else was allowed to talk to me. I tried multiple times to escalate this matter to another department but nobody would respond back to me. 

I would understand if I had stopped making payments but I kept my part of the bargain. Chase is the one who retracted on our contract without any notification. They would not accept my payments or get back to me with the balance due. i feel they have shady busines practices.
