Complaint narrative:
As a direct result of a recent data breach, my personally identifiable information was compromised and misused without my knowledge or consent. This led to the appearance of unauthorized accounts, unfamiliar credit inquiries, and inaccurate late payment entries on my credit reportall of which I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. I am formally requesting a comprehensive reinvestigation into these accounts and inquiries under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ), and I ask that all inaccurate, unverifiable, or fraudulent information be permanently removed from my credit file. I have enclosed supporting documentation, including an Identity Theft Report, to assist in resolving this matter.

Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan — 
Company: OneMain Finance Corporation
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my late husband, a XXXX veteran, enrolled in a credit life insurance policy through OneMain Financial to cover the balance of a personal loan in the event of his death. The loan and insurance policy were both scheduled to mature on XX/XX/XXXX. He passed away on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXthree days before the scheduled maturity date. 

Although the death occurred within the original policy term and all conditions were met, OneMain Financial denied full payment of the life insurance benefit. They stated that due to a loan deferment, the policy maturity date changed, and the coverage was no longer valid at the time of death. However, the Certificate of Insurance explicitly states that the term of insurance is not affected or extended by any extension granted to You for payment of one or more installments. This means deferments do not alter or invalidate coverage. 

The Certificate also includes a LIFE BENEFIT clause, confirming that a benefit is payable if the borrower dies while insured. Proof of death was submitted, and on XX/XX/XXXX, OneMain Financial issued a partial payment of {$560.00}. However, as of that date, the remaining statement balance was {$4200.00}. According to the policys formulawhere coverage is based on a ratio of the maximum insurance ( {$20000.00} ) to the original loan ( {$23000.00} ) the correct benefit should have been approximately {$3500.00}. No detailed explanation has been given for the reduced amount.

OneMain Financial was contacted multiple times by email and phone throughout XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. After reconsidering the claim, they upheld the denial and refused to issue the remaining benefit. They continue to hold the title to my vehicle and have indicated that they may repossess it if the loan is not paid in fulldespite the existence of the policy, which was meant to prevent such hardship for a surviving spouse.

This appears to be a clear case of underpayment, bad faith handling of a valid life insurance claim, and breach of contract. I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau review this matter and compel OneMain Financial to issue the full amount of the life insurance benefit owed.

Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ).

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/scrub> 2024, a charge of {$15000.00} was posted to my credit card account by a company identified as XXXX XXXX. I did not authorize this transaction. Upon noticing the charge, I contacted XXXX XXXX  directly by phone,

but my number was blocked, and my attempts to communicate via email were unsuccessful as my messages were undeliverable. I reported the unauthorized charge to Chase the following week. Chase initially advised me to allow some time for the matter to be investigated. I received a provisional credit for the disputed amount, but this credit was later reversed without clear explanation. The unresolved charge is causing significant negative impact to my business operations. I have made
every effort to address the issue directly with both XXXX XXXX and Chase, but the matter remains unresolved. I am seeking a resolution to this dispute and restoration of the funds to my account.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for reporting inaccurate information on my credit report regarding an installment account ending in XXXX. 

The account is closed and paid in full, with a balance of {$0.00}. However, Equifax is reporting the Date Closed and Date Last Active as XX/XX/XXXX, which is incorrect and conflicts with XXXX, which shows the correct date of XX/XX/XXXX. 

This discrepancy may be impacting my creditworthiness, and I have already submitted a dispute directly to Equifax, but I want this issue formally investigated by the CFPB. 

I am requesting the inaccurate dates be corrected to reflect the accurate closure date of XX/XX/XXXX.
