XXXX informed me once I receive the Fed Ex package to return and which I will pay out of pocket.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) misrepresented the amount that was owed on move of the apartment we were staying in. I received orders overseas for 2 1/2 years and ended the lease based on the orders report date. I notified XXXX XXXXXXXX and they proceeded to bill me for the extra month of rent. Additionally, on move out we completed a walk through and it was verified that everything was in order with the exception of the holes in the wall from the home decor. When I received a final bill they had added a charge to replace carpet. In California there is a requirement to change the carpet every 7 years. We have no way to verify what the carpet date was and if it was actually replaced. This is the second time this company has done something like this. Lastly they are claiming we missed payment on our water and sewage bill for almost a whole year! The system we logged into to pay the bill is tied with the payment of rent and I have no way to access it to pull up receipts for the payments that we made. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX hired a collection agency to try to force us into paying the amount they requested. The company is called FCO or Fair Collections and Outsourcing. We spoke with FCO on multiple occasions and explained what I have just expressed. I submitted a copy of my orders to XXXX that was used for move out and a copy of the SCRA for it being overseas. I explained I did not have access to my old emails to prove the apartment complex was notified. However advance notification was not needed due it being XXXX. FCO said they would speak with XXXX XXXX and since then I have heard nothing back from them. They refused to send emails pertaining to the correspondence that was taking place between them and the rental company or us and them.

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''

Company: OneMain Finance Corporation

Complaint narrative:
I'm contacting to follow-up regarding a dispute opened with OneMain Financial that I made against the merchant XXXX on XX/XX/year> for a transaction totaling in the amount of {$370.00}. The dispute record number for this is XXXX. 

Background on the transactions...

There were 2 transactions processed totaling in the same amount on different dates as follows... 
XX/XX/year> - {$370.00} Reference Number - XXXX ( refunded by XXXX ) XX/XX/year> - {$370.00} Reference Number - XXXX ( disputed XXXX ) OneMain Financial processed a provisional credit to my account on XX/XX/year> for the dispute in the amount of {$370.00} which was reflected on my XX/XX/year> statement. OneMain Financial then reversed my provisional credit due to a refund being processed to my account from XXXX on XX/XX/year>. 

OneMain Financial reversed the provisional credit in error as the refund from XXXX was received for the transaction on XX/XX/year>, NOT the 'disputed ' transaction which was on XX/XX/year>. 

Currently I am still owed the {$370.00} for XX/XX/year>. I was NOT refunded by XXXX for the disputed transaction. As such, I am formally requesting that this dispute be re-opened and evaluated even though the transaction was processed in 2023. Legally this dispute must be processed as OneMain Financial made the error of closing the dispute for a refund that was NOT associated with the 'disputed ' transaction. Additionally I am not responsible for any interest on the disputed charge up to now due to the negligence of OneMain Financial. 

I do not know why XXXX refunded the transaction for XX/XX/year> and not the one for XX/XX/year> thus I can not work with them to receive a refund and must work with OneMain Financial. I have submitted many complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for this issue and hope that OneMain Financial will take accountability for their error regarding this matter. I look forward to hearing from you regarding when I can expect my credit to be processed, thank you.
