Company: Midwest Acceptance Corp.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Illinois FCRA Identity Theft Fraud Laws DeaXXXX MIDWEST ACCEPTANCE, I am writing to address a severe violation concerning the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ), XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ), and XXXX ( a ), as well as Illinois identity XXXX fraud laws, particularly XXXX ILCS XXXX. 

It has recently come to my attention that MIDWEST ACCEPTANCE has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as stipulated in the FCRA, explicitly requires consumer consent for such reporting activities under Section XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ). 

Furthermore, Illinois state law, specifically XXXX ILCS XXXX, underscores the seriousness of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, particularly in cases of identity theft. 

I affirm unequivocally that I have not provided consent for MIDWEST ACCEPTANCE to report any information to my credit report. This lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, potentially resulting in damage to my creditworthiness and a clear disregard for federal and state laws.

I demand, without reservation, that MIDWEST ACCEPTANCE immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) of the FCRA and Illinois identity theft fraud laws. Failure to comply within the stipulated XXXX timeframe will be considered willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Illinois state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your urgent attention to this matter and expect that MIDWEST ACCEPTANCE will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Applied for {$250.00} payday loan but Albert requires your bank information and direct deposit with them before approval. They also automatically enroll you in other financial services and charge for them even if you don't take out the loan. In order to deactivate the account you have to have a XXXX balance with them which puts you in a cycle of repaying. Then they give invalid debit card errors so your account can not be deleted. They don't respond to emails or text which is the only way to reach them. I never received {$250.00} from them but they have withdrawn {$89.00} initially then they withdraw money monthly ranging from {$1.00} to {$14.00} each month.
