Consumer complaint received 2025-09-08 00:00:00
Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: SoLo Funds Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am a lender on SoLo Funds, Inc.s platform. I funded a loan of {$40.00} to a borrower (. ) on XX/XX/year>, with a contractual due date of XX/XX/year> ( 35 days ). The borrower repaid the loan in full, including a {$5.00} tip, on XX/XX/year>. 

Despite this repayment, SoLo applied its Lender Protection policy and deducted 10 % of my funds, issuing me only {$38.00} in platform credits instead of the {$45.00} I am contractually owed ( {$40.00} principal + {$5.00} tip ). 

Key problems : The loan was repaid within the contractual term. It was not in default, and no collection or protection service was needed. 

SoLo imposed a 10 % deduction simply because I opted into their Lender Protection, even though it was unnecessary. This amounts to an unfair and deceptive fee. 

SoLo converted my repayment into non-cash credits, which can not be withdrawn, leaving me with a permanent loss of funds despite the borrower fulfilling their obligation. 

The {$5.00} tip, which under the loan agreement belongs to me, was also withheld. 

This structure appears designed to extract fees from lenders regardless of whether protection is actually needed, which I believe is an unfair, deceptive, and predatory practice.

Company: Kriya Capital, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding inaccurate reporting by Credence Resource Management on my credit file. They are reporting that I owe a debt to XXXX in the amount of {$210.00}. 

I have no knowledge of this debt and do not owe this balance. In accordance with my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I submitted a debt validation letter to Credence Resource Management requesting proof of this alleged debt. To date, they have not provided any response or documentation verifying the debt. 

Despite their failure to validate, this account continues to be reported on my credit file, which is a violation of my rights under the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Reporting a debt without proper validation is not only misleading but also unlawful. 

I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in having this account removed immediately from my credit report across all three credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ), as it is unverified and inaccurate.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
As of XXXX of XXXX I call PennyMac and let them know that I lost my job my husband 's the only source of income so what they did is put us on forbearance plan stating that they'll reduce our monthly payments until I'm able to get a job and once I get my job the payments will go back to normal and we wouldn't have to owe nothing once I get a job. now as of XX/XX/XXXX they are trying to tell us that we owe them {$16000.00} that we didn't pay them but we were on a forbearance plan. And we don't have that much money to be paying them {$16000.00} for something that we already pay them when we were on a forbearance plan none of this makes sense and every time that you try calling us from pennymac 's number it comes up as a scam so we don't know if we are being scammed or they're not telling us that something that we don't know.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. 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.
