Consumer complaint received 2024-07-19 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Adler Wallach & Associates, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Company : Adler Wallach and Associates I have tried to resolve a collection by paying the needed amount with Adler Wallach and Associates. The collections letter was sent to the wrong address and no notice was sent out to me. Additionally, they had all old contact information that was not updated. They were not able to help resolve this issue over the phone and I had to search my collections issue through their online portal. 

I attempted to pay this claim on XX/XX/XXXX, for the amount of {$250.00}. They were not able to provide me with confirmation of the payment. The charge was never taken from my bank account and had to manually follow up. My second attempt was on, XX/XX/XXXX, to settle this claim for the increased amount of {$250.00}. No notice of the failed payment was provided or notice of the increased amount. 

I have reached out to their email to get confirmation of the transaction and get a response if they have settled the collection. No communication was provided. 

I have receipts of the multiple attempts to settle the collection with the company as proof.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I made a purchase through XXXX from XXXX for {$160.00} using my Apple Card. The merchandise delivered was defective ; the mandarins were moldy, and the apples were severely bruised and unfit for consumption. I reported this issue to XXXX by XX/XX/year>, well within their stipulated seven-day period. Despite XXXX 's acknowledgment and assurance of a resolution, the issue remained unresolved, prompting me to initiate a dispute with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, the issuer of my Apple Card. 

I submitted detailed evidence supporting my claim to Apple Card Support, including photos of the damaged goods and a thorough description of the defects. Despite my efforts, on XX/XX/year>, I received a decision stating that no billing error occurred, and the temporary credit of {$160.00} was reversed. The decision indicated that the merchandise was delivered undamaged, which contradicts the evidence I provided. 

Additionally, XXXX, through their representative XXXX, confirmed via email that they would not be contesting the dispute and that the funds had been withdrawn from them by the bank, indicating that they recognized the validity of my claim. This confirmation from XXXX clearly shows that Apple Card/Goldman Sachs mishandled my dispute. 

Throughout this process, I made multiple attempts to resolve the issue, including contacting Apple Card Specialists via the Wallet app and over the phone. However, my concerns were not addressed, and the outcome of the dispute was unsatisfactory.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with 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 in 60 days to be removed.

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.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


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!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. 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. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
