Consumer complaint received 2023-01-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud
Company: UPGRADE, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted by one of my creditors in XX/XX/2022 that there was an attempt to open a card account in my name. They informed to to get copies of my bureaus and Lock them down. I have done so. All my XXXX bureaus have a " freeze '' in place and now protected with a pin code. In reviewing the bureaus I noticed an account from Upgrade Inc. I immediately disputed this as fraud with the XXXX bureaus. The creditor reported back in XXXX that this was " valid ''. I then reached out to Upgrade via mail with all my information and requested they do an investigation that this was not my account. I asked what they needed from me to complete this. First it was the affidavit, and police report. That was sent via express mail. Then after they received that they asked for the FTC report to show a checking account at XXXX  XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX was listed and for me to send the bank statements. I contacted XXXX  XXXX XXXX immediately. They initiated an investigation and my local banker looked in my profile to see if that account ever appeared in my history of ownership. It does not. So, I can not provide to them bank statements. I did provide the letter from B of A showing this is not my account, never was. They then sent me a letter stating that the account with a XXXX limit had deposited XXXX into that above mentioned account. How is that possible? XXXX on a XXXX limit card? Makes NO sense. They gave me 5 days to provide the info on that. I feel like I am being victimized over again by these people. They have the Police report, FTC report, my drivers license, the letter from XXXX  XXXX XXXX. What more can they need? I asked for this account to be blocked temporarily until this is resolved. It has taken 30+ points off my XXXX score as a result of it reporting over the limit and open. They have not done that either. They continue to report to all 3 bureaus that this is my account. I am attaching all the documentation for your review.

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: W&A Intermediate Co., LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received stitches in XX/XX/XXXX for which I eventually received two separate billing statements. The first was reported through my medical insurance ( XXXX ) and I was able and did pay it in full. The second ( from XXXX XXXX ) was received later ( again through XXXX ) and did not have any way to pay. I never received any bill that gave me a way to pay. I tried calling numbers listed on the documentation that went nowhere. 

Recently ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I found out through XXXX that I had an account in collection ( with Wakefield and Associates ). I received no other notice that this was pending, and again, had never had any opportunity to pay. I contacted the collections agency and paid the debt immediately ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 

This never should have gone to my credit report, and XXXX XXXX needs to change its unethical practices. I also understand that the collection agency needs to notify me before the credit agency- this notification never happened.

Complaint narrative:
CashApp has been advertising and steering individuals to sign up for direct deposit with benefits like XXXX-day deposits. Nowhere do they have fine print anywhere on Cash Apps main site that explains they reserve the right to choose which users get to enjoy the feature while advertising to all. I was an individual that was steered to sign up. I receive confirmation from my employee that my direct deposit was finalized on Tuesday XX/XX/2023. Cash App has yet to release my funds and has not provide an individual reason why I was opted out of an early paycheck. Ive reach out to Customer Service multiple times throughout the day and given the same explanation.. Delays happen on occasion. This is why there is a XXXX day time frame. I do understand the inconvenience, but we are not able to process the deposit any faster. If you do not receive your deposit within this time frame, then please reach back out then. CashApp does not advertise that delays tend to happen. This steering, deception should come with a warning label. Ive realize my deposit early from many other banks and have seen physical evidence of this current payroll being immediately deposited into accounts of my co workers.
