Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
After receiving a recent copy of my credit report I noticed, a company shown as : GENESIS CREDIT MANAGEMENT was reported to my credit report per XXXX XXXX I have never signed any written agreement with them. Nor never heard of them. Upon further research, debtors ' creditor did not verify this collection, also there was NO written form of communication/contract or written signature for this accused debt at ALL. A bill without a ( written ) signature does not validate the debt as anybody can send a bill and say its mine. According to FCRA, this company has violated my rights as a consumer and I'm requesting legal actions to remove this fallacious account to be removed from my credit report immediately!

Complaint narrative:
I first noticed a company XXXX show up on my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. I have never heard of XXXX. I filed a dispute with the credit bureau, XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion after I had attempted to settle with the company. I have NEVER filled out an application or signed a contract with this company. I was under the impression that the dispute had been settled and removed from my credit report. I found out yesterday on XX/XX/XXXX that there was a debt of {$63000.00} showing on my credit report and drastically dropping my score making me unable to purchase a home. I had disputed XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and thought that this information that had been corrected/removed from my credit report and has now, in fact, been reinserted. I am not sure if this was identity theft? With further investigation, I found out that this company no longer exists and that was closed on XXXX of XXXX ..... I have once again attempted to have this settled with the credit union. If you can offer any assistance in the resolution of this matter I would greatly appreciate it.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a vehicle in XXXX of XXXX. Unfortunately Santander was the financing company at that time due to the pandemic and credit issues that the dealership used to finance the other half of my car I didnt pay up front. The interest rate I was given at the end not thinking it would EVER be so high was 24.9 % which was criminal! Within 5 months of obtaining this loan I was hospitalized with XXXX for a long time and tried communicating with them eventually reaching the CEO through XXXX and explaining my situation. I wasnt given any relief and the late fees stacked up. I was released from the hospital to find out my car had mechanical issues that cost half of what I owed on the car and the extended warranty I purchased was cancelled with no explanation. The repairs and payments due to insane late fees and interest rate were impossible to pay but I continued to try. Santander placed a {$0.00} XXXX XXXX payment late history and charge off as bad debt due to natural disaster on my credit report. However, they still have a lien on the title leaving me with a XXXX XXXX XXXX Im unable to sell or trade or even fix and huge loss of equity

I would love to have a copy of the contract where I allowed you to use my information.

Please let me know who allowed you to do pull my credit!!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In my previous complaint, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
