Product: Debt collection — Payday loan debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: CCF Intermediate Holdings LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding a company identifying themselves as XXXX, who contacted me in a threatening and misleading manner regarding a supposed debt. 


Details of the Incident : I received a call from an individual named XXXX from a local number claiming to represent a company called XXXX. During the call, I was told that if I did not make a payment immediately, I would be served and taken to court. The representative further threatened to contact my former employer and without any authorization or prior written notification, they contacted my uncle, disclosing information about an alleged debt. 

I was provided a claim number and instructed to call XXXX. Under pressure and fear of legal consequences, I did make a payment. However, I received no receipt or verification email, and my bank statement reflected a payment made to XXXX XXXX, not XXXX  as stated by the caller. This raised concerns about the legitimacy of the company. 

I proceeded to contact Speedy Cash, the original creditor, who confirmed the alleged debt was not in their possession. They referred me to XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX, stating they should be the current holder of the debt. When I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX, they informed me they had no record of any debt under my name, and that the party contacting me appeared to be a scam. 

I then contacted XXXX again and requested a formal written debt validation notice. They refused to provide one. They also refused to give me a physical address and denied permission for the call to be recorded. They stated they would only provide a case closure letter once the total amount is paid, and again threatened that if my next payment was not made, a lawyer would come to serve me. 



Violations of Concern : Failure to provide a required written debt validation notice Threats of legal action and service Threatening communication to third parties Disclosure of alleged debt details to a family member Use of intimidation and coercion to obtain payment Refusal to provide company address or proof of debt No receipt or confirmation of payment Payment processed under a different company name ( XXXX XXXX ) These actions appear to violate debt collection laws and fair consumer practices. 

Requested Action : Investigation into the business practices of this company Identification of the company operating under the name XXXX  and/or XXXX  XXXX XXXX in recovering funds paid under threatening circumstances Prevention of further contact, harassment, and third-party communication

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress.

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
I am a Wise customer in Kansas. My account was recently restricted pending confirmation of my personal details. However, I am completely unable to log in to complete this verification due to a system failure on Wises side.

When attempting to log in or reset my password, the page briefly loads and then redirects to an error message stating : Something went wrong Error ID : undefined.

This happens on multiple browsers, multiple devices, incognito/private mode, and with all extensions disabled. The password-reset links Wise sends also fail in the exact same way. Because of this, I can not : 1 ) Log into my Wise account 2 ) Access the verification banner to confirm my details 3 ) Reset my password 4 ) Contact support, as Wise requires login to reach the help center Wise has shut down all customer-facing email addresses, and replies to support threads instruct me to log in to contact us, which is impossible. Wise is aware that the troubleshooting steps they recommend ( try rebooting your computer, etc. ) do not address the problem.

I currently have funds on deposit with Wise that I can not access due to their system malfunction and the absence of any functioning support channel.

Wise ( Wise US Inc. ), the operator of Wise.com is a licensed money transmitter and is required to provide customers with accessible support and a functioning method to verify identity. Please assist in compelling Wise to resolve this issue.
