Company: LendingUSA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
An Attempt to secure a loan through LendingUSA was negative- declined due to they could not identify me. http : //lp.lendingusa.com/lending/1/? utm_source=ppc & utm_medium=cpc & utm_campaign=Bing I was under the impression no credit check would be done but subsequently found out they used a company called XXXX [ " XXXX XXXX XXXX is a credit reporting agency that provides information to our customers, who in turn decide whether or not to offer credit or services to consumers. If your application has been denied by a subscriber of our services, their decision may have been based on the information provided to them by us. '' ] XXXX partners with XXXX whom I have a umber of complaints open with! I felt this was a sham. Attempts to contact LendingUSA proved long wait time and not return calls! They are a partner with XXXX and should have had access to any and all information concerning me. Lending USA was aware I had a security freeze but as stated " NO '' credit would be pulled. '' Then why this?

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I responded to a wage garnishment. I went to the court and filed the necessary response. The officer informed me that the company had 30 days to send a response. The 30 days came and went. Since I had asked for a copy of my application and the amount owed at the time of write off I assumed this information could not be found. I then called Discover and was told to contact the agency that had my account. I spoke to a rep who was located in New Jersey about my account. He started to ask my information like address, ss #. I decided that if this company was suing me they should have this information. When I asked this question I was " disconnected ''. I did n't hear from the agency again. XX/XX/XXXX I was informed by my payroll department that my wages would be garnished again I tried to get information. This time I found that the agency is in XXXX XXXX. The practices of this company are sneaky and unfair. I feel I did respond within the time frame. I was also told by the sheriff that I had correctly responded to the order. Why was there no response? The company then waits a year to garnish me without any further notification?

I 'm having lots of problems with discovercard.

These charges I have no knowledge of are now 6 months old without my being reimbursed. They periodically reverse their dispute decisions not in my favor and that is inexplicable. I do n't want my discovercard online account to say anywhere on it that a dispute was n't found in my favor. I 'm at least {$2400.00} light at the moment I would like to be spending that.
