Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you regarding a violation of my privacy and confidentiality rights, protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) ). Pursuant to 18 USC 8, I have identified the following accounts that have breached these legal provisions : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  These accounts have accessed my credit information without my explicit authorization, which constitutes a violation of my privacy and confidentiality rights. Additionally, some of these accounts contain obsolete information that should be excluded from my credit report as stipulated in 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ).

According to 15 USC 1681, Section 602 ( A ), I have the right to privacy.

Company: PayTomorrow, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against PayTomorrow LLC for what I believe to be an unlawful, deceptive, and predatory financing structure. In XX/XX/year>, I purchased a piece of gym equipment and financed it through PayTomorrow. I was led to believe I was entering into a single financing arrangement. However, I have since discovered that I was deceptively enrolled in both a consumer loan AND a closed-end lease for the same piece of equipment, creating a dual financial liability that was never clearly explained to me at the time of agreement.

Let me be clear : This was a single transaction for a single product, yet PayTomorrow split the liability across two separate financial instruments a " Simple Interest Consumer Loan and Security Agreement '' and a " Closed End Consumer Goods Lease Agreement '' without adequate disclosure. The lease references a {$2500.00} value, while the loan finances {$1800.00} of the same product, giving PayTomorrow the ability to double-dip on payments for the exact same item. This is a blatant abuse of consumer trust and constitutes constructive fraud through layered contract structures that obscure the true financial burden. 

The lease falsely states I have no ownership rights, while the loan simultaneously grants PayTomorrow a security interest in the equipment, implying I am the owner. It is legally impossible under Texas law to both lease and sell the same item to the same person at the same time. These documents directly contradict XXXX another and reflect a willful act of deception, designed to trap unsuspecting consumers into overpaying. 
These practices are : In violation of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) for failure to clearly disclose the true nature of the financing agreement.

In violation of the Consumer Leasing Act ( CLA ) due to incomplete and misleading lease disclosures.

In violation of Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act ( DTPA ) for employing an unconscionable financing structure and misrepresenting consumer rights.

And appear to violate UDAP standards ( Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices ) by artificially inflating consumer liability through dual contract structures. 

PayTomorrow appears to be using this tactic to mislead underwriting systems, confuse customers into believing they have more flexibility than they do, and weaponize complexity to generate excess payments under the guise of optional ownership when in reality, both agreements require payment on overlapping timelines and include steep fees, automatic debits, and disproportionate penalties. 

I have attached both the loan and lease agreements for your review. If this is happening to me, its likely happening to hundreds or thousands of others. This is not an accident this is a model built for predatory profit, and it needs to be stopped.

Shortly after, I discovered a fraudulent account with XXXX XXXX  showing a balance of {$1100.00}. I did not apply for credit with either company and did not authorize these actions.

Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately.

Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible.
