Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Payday loan
Issue: Loan payment wasn't credited to your account — 
Company: Cottonwood Financial Ltd.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX last 4 my account is paid in full at the cash store as I only owed {$970.00} my principal amount was {$900.00} I paid the Cash store in XX/XX/2017 {$300.00} in XX/XX/2017 I paid {$240.00} in XX/XX/2017 I paid {$180.00} in XX/XX/2017 I paid {$240.00} that should add up to {$960.00} I wed XXXX dollars in total I never made the XXXX dollar payment but I can definitely give it to you now if you would like to take the XXXX dollars???? 

you are the seventh collection agency to call me even after it was paid way back in XXXX. I have turned the Cash Store into the financial bureau for unlawful collections because they keep selling my account like I never paid it and it was paid in full, except for XXXX dollars. 

The company gave me this info orally over the phone -- but refused to give me a print out. They sell ( or turn over the accounts to several creditors ). I get numerous calls from different collection agencies, and I go through the painful process of explaining that the loan was paid in full over and over again. This is harassment, and unnecessary. 
I am still getting calls, this loan was paid off in XXXX.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I corresponded with XXXX XXXX requesting that they provide verification, validation and accuracy of the account # XXXX which they where reporting on my consumer report via TRANSUNION and XXXX. See : Letter I submitted this letter certified mail. XXXX failed to respond or sign and return the XXXX  card. See : Certificate Receipt.

I also, requested that TRANSUNION reinvestigate the aforementioned account due to its failure to report complete, accurate and factual information. They failed to throughly provide a investigation as well.

In light of the above, my constitutional and FDCR rights has been violated. 

1. 15 US Code section 1692 ( a ) 2. 15 U.S. Code section 1681 ( a ) 3. 15 US Code section 1681e ( b ) 4. FDCPA section 807.

5. FDCRA section 808 6. FDCRA section 809 Clearly, this account reflects deception and misleading information against the law. There is no indication of a late payment on TransUnion to validate a XXXX XXXX 

However, Transition still penalized my FICO score XXXX  behind this deceptive tactic. XXXX  details that this isn't reflecting XXXX  accuracy by showing that the account took over XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX years to reflect a XXXX  XXXX. This is illegal and against XXXX  rules for financial institutions. See : Credit report. 

XXXX, this demonstrates that TRANSUNION and XXXX is in collusion with XXXX XXXX to criminally break the law by failing to accurately report information to the XXXX. 


In short, XXXX XXXX failed to verify this account therefore, this misleading and inaccurate account MUST be deleted immediately. 


Thank you in advance.
