Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
After Chime randomly banned my account on XX/XX/year>, I eventually received a refund check for a balance of {$810.00} on XX/XX/year>. However, the extra {$540.00} that was refunded to my " closed '' account from XXXX on XX/XX/year> was missing from the check. I called Chime multiple times and told them that I had made a transaction on XXXX through XXXX, and made them aware the refund was successfully processed back to the account I had no access to. However, they offered me no resolutions and would only tell me they no longer had access to the account and the funds would bounce back to my XXXX within 3-10 business days. That proved to be false and Chime refused to issue me the money that was refunded and also to provide bank statements that would make tracing the funds possible. Chime has already made the past month of living very difficult for me and I want every cent I worked hard for. Attached are chat monologues with XXXX and the transaction made with my Chime Card.

Company: FC HoldCo LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I had an auto loan financed with Flagship Credit on XX/XX/XXXX. I started to struggle with the payments in XXXX which resulted in my default. Flagship during XXXXwhere their collection associates called numerous times a day every day of the week. If I did not answer the call they would call over and over again and leave no message. They called my employment phone after I advised that I could not receive calls at work. Then they began to call me on my mobile telephone during my work hours, again I requested that they not call during those hours to no avail. I did not provide permission for them to call my cellular telephone. They continued to call my cell phone numerous times a day and call me back the same day after talking to me already. The associates then began to curse and threaten to report me to the police and have me cited as well as call and tell my employer of my debt. I advised caller to cease and desist and that they were in violation of the fair debt collection act to which they laughed and called me more derogatory names. 
I provided a written request to cease and desist. I still received a few calls. I finally got a XXXX and we discussed the fair debt violations along with calling my cell phone after I advised to not call same and an agreement was made that the violations and the remaining debt was a wash. I agreed to surrender the vehicle. It took until I called again months later advising that I was going to cancel insurance on vehicle and they needed to pick up the vehicle. Finally they picked up the car, in XX/XX/XXXX. Based on the agreement discussed, I assumed the matter was complete. 

I received a class action card for Flagship based on their violations of the fair debt collection act. This information certainly backs my interaction. 
In XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX dba XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bought a group of collection accounts from Flagship. The next thing I know this new company files a legal action against me for over {$10000.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. A span of nearly 4 years from the time of repossession to legal action. 

I have advised new company of the issues and that my debt was not with them. However, now they have attempted to have a judgment entered against me with the court. 

I dont understand how a company like Flagship that clearly violated Fair Debt Collection Act can later sell its collection accounts for money to another company to put those people through the mud once again.

Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Missouri Laws Dear XXXX, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and Missouri Revised Statutes, specifically Section 570.223, which covers identity theft. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that XXXX has already engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Missouri law, under Section 570.223 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, emphasizes the gravity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, particularly in cases of identity theft and fraud. This statute further underscores the importance of ensuring that consumer information is handled lawfully and only with proper consent.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for ATLCAPBKSELF to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and a clear disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that XXXX immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws under Missouri Revised Statutes Section 570.223 .

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting.

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that XXXX will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
My account with Experian was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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.

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. 


Experian 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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

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.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I mailed certified documentation for the second time to address fraudulent accounts on my credit report due to identity theft. Despite submitting all required documents, including a police report and an FTC report, the company has refused to honor my request to remove these fraudulent accounts. I have taken every necessary action to prove that I am a victim of identity theft, yet they continue to ignore this fact. 

Additionally, the company has merged my credit file with another consumers file. This has resulted in the wrongful addition of a XX/XX/XXXXXXXX on my credit report. I did not authorize any of these accounts or pull my credit in the last two years.

I request that the company take immediate action to remove the fraudulent accounts and rectify the errors made to my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
t has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off. Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score. Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper. I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections.
