Re : Complaint Regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX and Violation of Consumer Protection Laws Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing this formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding its failure to protect consumer data, resulting in the massive 2017 data breach, which exposed sensitive personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and in some cases, drivers license numbers. Despite the passage of time, XXXX continues to mishandle consumer data and fails to provide sufficient remedies to affected individuals like myself. 
Facts of the Complaint Exposure of Personal Data : As a result of the XXXX breach, my personal information was exposed to unauthorized third parties without my consent. 
Failure to Notify in a Timely Manner : XXXX failed to notify affected consumers, including myself, in a timely and transparent manner, violating legal standards under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. 
Inadequate Remediation : The remedies offered, such as free credit monitoring, are insufficient to mitigate the long-term risks of identity theft and fraud. 
Failure to Maintain Reasonable Security Practices : XXXX violated the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), 15 U.S.C. 6801 ( b ), which requires financial institutions to protect the security and confidentiality of customer data. 
Ongoing Harm : Despite corrective measures, I have experienced fraudulent activity and credit issues as a direct consequence of the breach. 
Legal Violations Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. 


XXXX : XXXX failed to properly restrict access to consumer information. 
XXXX : XXXX failed to implement adequate procedures to ensure consumer file accuracy and security.

Complaint narrative:
I will pay Discover and they take the money, then 3 days later they'll say there was insufficient funds and the bill doesn't get paid but the money is still deducted from my account. This issue has hurt my credit because of their systems mistakes. I have called to figure out why this money isn't going through. My app says the money is being processed, but then 3 days later they say it did not go through and they'll send my money back, but that doesn't happen. Discover won't let me dispute this issue because they claim I don't have money in my account but that is not true. P.s i dont have proof of when i paid them for these screenshots, because that XXXX XXXXXXXX account is closed because of that same issue, they closed it because when XXXX XXXXXXXX also didnt want to take my payments i used profanity on the phone. I just felt helpless they stated that was on their policy and now the account is closed.

Company: Atlantic Recovery Solutions LLC

Complaint narrative:
I received a call from XXXX XXXX solutions, and I asked them to mail me any documents regarding the call. The person on the phone, XXXX XXXX, began to yell and said that they would not be mailing anything out. She hung up on me, and when I called back she still was very rude and yelling. She threatened to disconnect the call if I didnt agree to pay today. I asked her to verify the mailing address that was on file, and she refused. She stated that they would not be mailing anything out because it would take too long. She said I had to pay the debt today or else she would just notate that I refused to pay. The day prior she called a family member regarding the matter, and she also left a voicemail on my phone stating that she would not be contacting me anymore and ended the voicemail by saying if i dont hear back from you, then good luck. Calling and demanding money and hanging up on a customer and also threatening me was very unprofessional.
