Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XX/XX/2024 Subject : Dispute of Unauthorized Withdrawal from Checking Account and Forced Payment Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am writing to formally dispute an unauthorized withdrawal that your company made from my checking account to pay a collection debt without my knowledge or consent. This withdrawal was related to a credit card bill, and I did not authorize any such transaction. 
This action is in direct violation of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ), 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq., which requires explicit consumer authorization for any electronic fund transfers. Additionally, this practice constitutes an unfair and deceptive act under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692f, which prohibits unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt, including unauthorized withdrawals from a consumer 's bank account. 
Furthermore, after you illegally withdrew funds from my account, I was forced to make a partial payment under duress to recover some of the debited amount. Subsequently, I received a letter from your company thanking me for making this payment. I want to be clear : this payment was not made voluntarily but was forced in an effort to mitigate the unauthorized debit to my account. Sending a letter of thanks for a coerced payment adds to the violation of both the FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692d, which prohibits behavior that harasses or abuses consumers, and 15 U.S.C. 1692e, which prohibits deceptive practices in the collection of a debt.

I demand the following : 1. Immediate Refund : Refund the full amount of the unauthorized withdrawal from my checking account within 7 days.

2. Correction of Records : Correct any record that reflects this forced payment as voluntary.

3. Investigation and Documentation : Provide me with any documentation or proof of my explicit authorization for this transaction, which I maintain does not exist.

4. Cease Further Unlawful Actions : Stop any further unauthorized actions or attempts to collect funds in violation of federal law. 
If these issues are not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to report these violations to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), my states Attorney General, and explore legal remedies for damages caused by these unlawful practices. 
Please confirm in writing that the matter has been resolved, the funds have been refunded, and corrective actions have been taken. 
Sincerely XXXX XXXX

Company: CLGF Holdco 1, LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> a company called XXXX performed a hard inquiry on my credit report. I did not initiate or solicit this. I do not know who this company is. I have not solicited ANY credit in a long time. Plus, the information used to solicit my report was several years old, including using a former last name ( I changed my last name XXXX years ago ), as well as an old phone number and old address. In looking up XXXX, I learned they are a bottom-of-the-barrel company with a sketchy reputation who targets subprime customers. When I called them to discuss the issue, the recording that answered initially stated it was XXXX ; when I pressed the button to speak with an agent, a new recording came on telling me I was being transferred to the XXXX Department. I knew instantly this was a scam, so I called XXXX and disputed the inquiry and am following through with the other credit bureaus as well and filing this report. I work hard to keep my credit the best it can be, and I take this breach very seriously. I would like this removed immediately from my credit reports at all XXXX bureaus. Thank you.
