State: FL

Complaint narrative:
15USC 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet Experian is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/ charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated '' let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please don't respond by telling me that cause that would be a waste of my time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/charge-offs, late payments/ other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns relating to the Cancelation of indebtedness by certain entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral and IRS form 211 : Application for award for original information overview with the IRS against ALL entities involved

Company: Post Lake Lending Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I received an email from this lender, as I previously had a loan with them, and they were advertising a pre-screened offer for returning customers. I clicked on the link in the email to look further, not realizing until afterwards that it automatically applied for a loan, which was not the intent, nor was it disclosed that clicking the link automatically applies for a loan in your name. I was instructed later to call this lender, so I did. I let the person know that I did not intend to apply for said loan, to which he did not respond directly to. He stated I was denied, and 10 days later I received an email stating I was denied for income limitations. My income had not changed from the first loan I was approved for. There was no verification of income as there was for the first loan application. When I called to inquire why I was disqualified by my income, no information was given. In fact, I was transferred multiple times, left on hold for exorbitant wait times, and generally given the run-around. This clearly was a shortsighted attempt to cause me to get frustrated and give up. Now, today XX/XX/26, I spoke with them and moments later another denial came to my email box, as if they submitted yet another application in my name fraudulently. I suspect a lot of fraud and predatory lending practices from this company, as they are a Tribal lender and unfortunately, unregulated in a lot of their practices.
