Company: CCF Intermediate Holdings LLC

Complaint narrative:
consumers REQUESTED ACTIONS I respectfully request that the CFPB : Investigate TitleMax 's practices regarding XXXX XXXX and repossession procedures Require TitleMax to compensate me for the {$5000.00} in damages caused by their wrongful actions Implement corrective measures to prevent TitleMax from conducting repossessions without proper legal authority Ensure TitleMax complies with court orders that dispose of XXXX claims Investigate potential systematic violations of consumer protection laws by TitleMax SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION I am prepared to provide the following documentation : Copy of court order disposing of XXXX ( Case Number XXXX ) Clear title documentation showing no lien Receipts for financial losses incurred Photos of vehicle listing for sale Timeline of events and communications with TitleMax XXXX ATTEMPTED I have demanded compensation directly from TitleMax but have not received a satisfactory response. This wrongful repossession has caused significant financial and emotional harm that requires regulatory intervention. 
CONSUMER IMPACT This case highlights the need for stronger oversight of title loan companies and their repossession practices. Consumers should not be subjected to wrongful repossessions, especially when court orders have already disposed of XXXX claims. 
XXXX TitleMax 's conduct represents a serious violation of consumer protection laws and demonstrates a disregard for both legal process and consumer rights. I urge the CFPB to take immediate action to investigate this matter and ensure TitleMax compensates me for the damages caused by their wrongful repossession. 
I am available to provide any additional information or documentation needed for this investigation. 
Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. 
Sincerely,

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: American Profit Recovery, Inc., Marlborough, MA Branch
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against a collection agency that is attempting to collect an unverified and unauthorized debt of {$120.00} on behalf of a lawn care company. This debt is not valid, and I have already taken steps to dispute it.I received a letter from this collection agency demanding payment. In response, I promptly mailed a written dispute letter requesting full verification of the debt, including proof that I authorized the services in question and evidence of their effectiveness. To date, I have not received any such verification.I never authorized this lawn care company to perform any work on my property on the date in question due to rain. The prior property manager XXXX had already waived all fees after discussing the situation with me and agreeing that the service should not have been performed under those weather conditions. Furthermore, I specifically requested proof that the treatment applied would remain effective if it rained within 25 minutesno such evidence was ever provided. 
Instead of responding appropriately to my dispute, the company escalated the matter to collections. The collection agency has failed to verify the legitimacy of this debt and is now using intimidation tactics to pressure me into paying an amount that I do not owe. 
This collection agency is attempting to collect a debt that is not only unverified but also likely invalid. They are in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by continuing to pursue this debt without providing the requested verification. 
I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter. The collection agency should be held accountable for attempting to collect a potentially unlawful debt, and the original company should not be permitted to pursue payment without sufficient documentation and consent

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: Garrison Investment Group
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have been over paying on my monthly repayment schedule. Sometimes hundreds of dollars extra! XXXX refuses to allow any of the principal to be paid down. Claiming that the extra money from the monthly payments is being used for " interest '' repayment? The loan acquires {$17.00} a day. At most, accumulating {$520.00} in a 31 day period ( I have XXXX late payments or fees ). So when paying {$600.00} or more a month, their math is unable to explain where the overpayment is being applied to. After 2 discussions with customer service, and their inability to properly make the math add up and explain why I am unable to pay down the principal? The company has now switched tactics. Instead, reducing my monthly payment amounts instead of allowing the principal to be paid down! A XXXX search revealed that foundation finance is a predatory company that attracts much legal attention. Suggesting that i too should seek legal action.

I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
