Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Didn't receive services that were advertised
Company: Credit Karma, LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Credi karma constantly sent me pre-approval offers that I did not actually qualify for. My credit was negatively affected by hard pulls for credit cards I really wasnt qualified for. I received many offers and all said I was pre qualified and this was a regular occurrence and I often was denied and my credit score fell because of this. Not only that, they do not use the scoring model most major lenders use. The score Credit Karma claims you have is actually a much lower score when you go to get a financial product and that particular institution pulls your score. Credit Karma is very deceptive!

Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
*** Missed portion of the initial complaint*** The company failed to address them illegally collecting in the state of Texas . Texas Surety bond information as required by Sec. XXXX. I attached a filed complaint with the Texas Attorney 's General office and a copy of them not have a valid and open surety bond. This company is in violation of Texas law and I demand for this to be removed from all 3 credit bureaus. So apparently, they did not read my complaint in its entirety. Per this requirement you must delete this trade line. 

And you somehow just wanted to close the previous complaint without them specifically addressing all my concerns. Sending me the validation was only part of it. How are they allowed to illegally collect in the state of Texas which is why I filed a complaint with the Texas Attorney Generals office, which is attached. All their surety bonds are closed.

Complaint narrative:
As a responsible individual, I understand the importance of maintaining a good credit score to secure financial stability and future opportunities. However, life can sometimes throw unexpected challenges that take a toll on one 's financial situation, resulting in missed payments and increased debts. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have recently gone through a hard time that has impacted my credit score negatively. I fully recognize the gravity of this situation and am actively seeking ways to rectify it. I understand the significance of having a clean credit report and the effect it has on my overall financial health. Therefore, I am making every effort to clear my debts and make timely payments to improve my credit score. I am writing to you regarding the matter of the debt assigned to me by XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, originally amounting to {$890.00}, also assigned XXXX XXXX, XXXX originally amounting {$590.00}. I am also writing reguarding XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX assigned XX/XX/XXXX original amount owed {$840.00}, also date assigned XXXX, XXXX XXXX original amount owed {$260.00}. While I understand the need for medical providers to collect and maintain patient information for purposes of treatment and billing, I want to bring to your attention a growing concern that has become prevalent in recent times. This pertains to the unauthorized sale of personal data by companies without the knowledge or consent of the individuals concerned. As a consumer, and a patient of XXXX XXXX XXXX, I have the right to expect that my personal information is protected at all times and not misused for profit-making purposes. In fact, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ) of 1996 was enacted specifically to safeguard the privacy of personal health information. I am disappointed to learn that my data may have been sold without my consent, and if that is the case, I urge XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to review its policies and practices to ensure that they are fully compliant with HIPAA regulations. The unauthorized sale of personal data is not only unethical but also illegal, and I strongly believe that no company should profit from the exploitation of sensitive information that belongs to its customers. I am committed to resolving this issue in a fair and amicable manner and would appreciate your cooperation in ensuring that my rights, as well as those of other patients, are respected and upheld. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
