Consumer complaint received 2023-05-06 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid 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: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I booked a hotel stay in XXXX XXXX Nevada through a company called XXXX, ( confirmation # XXXX ). They had a promotion/offer indicating that I could use a XXXX  credit card by the loan company Affirm, which offers installment loans or book now and pay later financial services. Because I already had Affirm I decided to utilize this XXXX  credit card option to secure my Hotel reservation for my birthday weekend, at the XXXX XXXX XXXX. The stay was from Fri, XX/XX/XXXX - Sun, XX/XX/XXXX When I arrived at the property ready to check in, the front desk agent told me that this XXXX  credit card provided by XXXX and Affirm ( credit card ended in XXXX. Exp XX/XX/XXXX ) was not a valid form of payment, because it was a XXXX  card and the property only accepted physical cards. So right there and then the front desk agent cancelled the original booking with XXXX. She then immediately rebooked my stay using my own physical debit card ending in XXXX. Exp XX/XX/XXXX and it was on that card that all charges for my stay were processed. I went on with the weekend and that was that. The full amount loaned by Affirm on the XXXX credit card was {$600.00}, which the hotel property in XXXX XXXX refunded back to XXXX as it was not a usable or valid form of payment A few months went by and I saw a charge on my Affirm profile and it's from XXXX charging me {$110.00} for the hotel stay at the XXXX, which was a wrong charge. Now at this point The Affirm XXXX  Credit Card was charging me {$130.00} with fees and has sent me to collections! Even though according to the XXXX XXXX, they had refunded the full {$600.00} back to the Affirm Card. 

I went back and forth with both XXXX and Affirm. I have tried for months to resolve this with Affirm and XXXX I have submitted proof of all sorts, even the invoice from the XXXX XXXX indicating where only my personal card was charged and not the XXXX  Credit Card from Affirm, which was never an acceptable form of payment at the property. Yet, Affirm continued with their negligence and sent me to collections. This has negatively affected my credit score. The culprit here is Affirm and XXXX, none of these financial companies are taking the responsibility for this financial exploitation. 

I believe that Affirm needs to clear my credit and remove that charge from account because it is not valid. 

Thank you

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint narrative:
When I made the decision to use my rights under FCRA, it was with an eye on challenging any information found in credit reports that are not accurate. By fighting back against this injustice, I am ensuring that the information on my credit report is accurate and reliable. I have every right to challenge any inaccuracies in a manner compliant with federal law when they are negatively affecting me financially because of their accuracy or completeness.This is just an allegation. There's no proof that I'm delinquent or derogatory, so how can you report this? With all due respect, the claims within my report are wrong! You have to follow proper procedures if these claims are in your system and to be used in my credit reports! I challenge the accuracy and fairness of your findings by demanding evidence before you make any claims and take such drastic measures against my reputation.I know that you cant just decide which rules apply to your organization, so I won't let anyone report any false claims. It's important to make sure all of your claims are accurate and reported in the correct format- this is required by law ( FCRA ) as well as Metro 2 standards. For any negative account I demand documentation / proof proving why your company considers it delinquent or derogatory. You have yet to provide me records documenting how your company verified and validated these accounts/ claims. 
Your proof of each negative claim you placed on my credit report should also include proof of a permissible purpose for any inquiry into the account. It's time for me to get my life back! I need you to send over some physical proof of what has been done and an updated credit report.Either confirm that this matter has been reported correctly or remove it from the report immediately. I am giving you 30 days to investigate.These allegations are without merit. Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim. If any of these claims are not true, please delete them immediately so I can restore my good name.
