Company: Sezzle Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Sezzle, a company which I had never heard anything of, sent me an email with the title " Action Required : Update your Payment Method ''. They noted that my credit card ending in XXXX no l

onger worked and that I needed to update my payment info. Somehow, these guys got hold of the fact that I had recently canceled my credit card and gotten a new one ( from XXXX ). And they used that info to craft a scary email to scare me into signing up for their Buy Now Pay Later service.

I downloaded their app to verify that I indeed had no account with them, that I had never used their service, and that their email was a big, fat lie. I was proven correct -- scarily, they somehow also had an old physical address of mine.

These guys somehow got my data ( illegally, I presume ). Maybe XXXX sold it to them ; maybe they got it off the dark web. Regardless, I presume that their behavior is illegal and it needs to stop.

Complaint narrative:
I moved out from The XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/2023. When I moved out, the apartment complex made an accounting error, and marked my move out date as XX/XX/XXXX instead. It then showed that I owed a day of rent, which I did not. So when I moved out, the apartment complex showed that I owed XXXX dollars, and in reality, the apartment owes me XXXX. After communicating with the apartment over around half a year, they finally refund me the money. But I assume the debt collector was not informed, and I can not get a hold of the company. The debt company then put a major derogatory mark on my credit score.

Complaint narrative:
I have diligently followed all the necessary procedures in disputing these accounts. I've contacted the companies, and they assured me the issue was resolved. Law enforcement has been involved, and I've provided a FTC report, which they confirmed as valid. Furthermore, XXXX and XXXX have complied with legal requirements and removed the accounts. However, Transunion seems to be presenting obstacles, claiming I haven't completed all the necessary steps. I called them about 3 months and they said to remove the accounts but up until now, the accounts are still reporting under their bureau. It appears Transunion is failing to fulfill its legal obligation to process the identity theft report eventough the companies already removed the accounts from the other bureaus.
