Complaint narrative:
I bought cards off of tcgplayer.com in which they werent received. I tried to reach out to the seller, but it is a platform like XXXX, so it is hard to get proper customer service unless the bigger companies are involved. However, I didnt get a response through them and decided to escalate it with Venmo since I used my Venmo debit card and they are platform to make the purchase. They said they would reach out to the seller to receive information and that process was supposed to be no longer than a week I had to constantly Tried to contact them via there chat, but it was almost impossible to ever get any type of answer other than I had to wait longer. Apparently, a month and a half, and they spoke to the seller and said they wanted information or proof on my side. I showed them a screenshot of the seller telling me an excuse as to why nothing has been shipped out yet and that it will be in the future, also never happened. So now Ive reached back out to them. They told me they need 50 days to review. It has been two months since then and now they are telling me it could take up to 75 days. It doesnt even let me know if the decision was made on my behalf or not it just says they are investigating and if the seller has not responded in over 50 days, I dont understand why XXXX cant just get my refund, it is very frustrating. Every time I speak to somebody they string me along. I thought maybe calling someone on the phone would be easier than going to chat so I called up. Theres a lady that kept me on the phone for over an hour and a half with her husband snoring in the background, which was very unprofessional just to tell me she has no information and shes sorry that everyone has been stringing me along and that the people I need to talk to can not be contacted via phone only through email and they do not respond to email. Im at my wits end so Im reaching out to you guys. It is not about the money anymore. It is about the principal of that. They have been playing with me for over three months now.

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: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Delays in the application process
Company: Upstart Holdings, Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a Home Equity Line of Credit ( HELOC ) through Upstart based on their advertised promise of no inspections and a hassle-free process. After submitting all required documentation, I was informed that a Broker Price Opinion ( BPO ) an exterior appraisalwould be required. This contradicts the terms that were clearly advertised at the time of application. 

I feel this is a bait-and-switch tactic. The delay caused by this unexpected requirement is interfering with my financial planning and causing unnecessary stress. I have made multiple attempts to resolve this with Upstart, but they have not provided a clear explanation or honored their original terms.

Company: Chime Financial Inc

Complaint narrative:
On Thursday XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX I received 9 unauthorized charges from XXXX in XXXX Ny on my amount all around {$49.00}. And 5 unauthorized charges from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NY all at {$50.00} dollars each. At around XXXX I was checking out from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX because I got my kids from school and stopped at the store for them. I got home and was going to take care of my sons XXXX XXXX tuition when I realized I only had {$200.00} dollars in my account and I had just gotten paid and only went to XXXX and spent {$62.00}. I then was checking my transactions to see where my money went to and saw all the multiple transactions from XXXX  and then a few from XXXX XXXX I proceeded to call my bank and while doing so more charges were occurring making my account $ XXXX bucks. The guy in the line said we had to wait for the pending charges to clear first before we can move forward with my claim but he closed my card and issued me a new one that day. I asked him what information are they using is it my virtual or my original card and he said it was my debit card, I was confused because I had my debit card on me which I used to purchase my items at XXXX. I thought since he closed my card then non of the pending charges would go through, 2 days later they all cleared leaving me with a negative checking account. I called back and got a dispute going sent all the transactions and where I was at the time it was happening from my XXXX purchase. A week later I got an email stating my claim was denied, I called right away and reopened because they took {$700.00} dollars from me and how did I drive 4 hrs away in a span of minutes to XXXX Ny from XXXX NY. He said they can send the decisions in the mail which take 7 to 10 business days. He said in order to reopen I needed more proof, the next day I called XXXX  and XXXX XXXX customer service line and they both said they do not see any of those transactions on there end, XXXX XXXX sent and email showing my card and no transactions in that day, target said all my account transactions is right in my account no transactions from that day either so I took pics of my last transactions. I filed a police report as well that day. Called XXXX customer center to send my XXXX bill from that day and the amount I paid and sent in all that info. I was denied again 2 days later. I researched online and here I am trying to get help so I can get back my money I have kids and rent I need to pay and I do not know what other route to take.

I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally.

Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Credit Information Correction - Compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b and Other FCRA Provisions I am writing to you as the holder of account number [ Account Number ] for my [ credit card, auto loan, and/or mortgage ] to report an issue negatively impacting my credit report. This issue appears to be in violation of the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1666b and other relevant sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements, including all information required by section 1637 ( b ), at least 21 days before the payment due date. This requirement ensures that consumers have sufficient time to receive, review, and make necessary payments without being unfairly penalized for late payments. 
Additionally, the FCRA, specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files. 
I have identified that the statements for my [ credit card, auto loan, and/or mortgage ] have not been delivered in compliance with these requirements, resulting in the appearance of late payments on my credit report. This non-compliance has adversely affected my credit score. 
Furthermore, I would like to refer to the Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ), which establishes that creditors must ensure timely delivery of statements to avoid unfair penalties to consumers. 
I formally request that you investigate and correct any inaccurate information related to these late payments on my credit report. Below are the details of the affected payments : Date of reported late payment : [ Company - date ] XX/XX/year> I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter to rectify any errors in my credit report. I am willing to provide any additional documentation necessary for your investigation. 
I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the actions taken to correct this information and ensure compliance with the relevant regulations. 
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
