Company: Solar Mosaic LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Issue : Billing dispute / Unfair practices Company : Mosaic Complaint : I am being billed by Mosaic for a solar panel system that I never received, and which I never moved forward with. 

In XX/XX/year>, I expressed interest in solar panels through XXXX XXXX, and Mosaic was listed as the financing company. However, I did not proceed with the project, no panels were ever installed or delivered, and I never received the product or service. 

Despite this, I recently received a billing statement from Mosaic. When I contacted Mosaic, they refused to open a fraud case and instead advised me to contact the solar company to request cancellation. This is not appropriate because there is no active loan, no installed product, and no service provided. 

I should not be billed for a product that I did not receive and a project that was never completed.

Desired Resolution : Immediate cancellation of the Mosaic loan/account associated with this transaction.

Written confirmation that I will not be held responsible for any charges.

Removal of any record of this account from my credit reports.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC ( PRA ) for multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). PRA is reporting several accounts on my credit file that are inaccurate, unvalidated, and being collected unlawfully.

Accounts in Question Portfolio Recovery Associates is currently reporting the following accounts on my XXXX  credit report : Account # XXXX Balance : {$3100.00} Seller : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) Account # XXXX Balance : {$2200.00} Seller : XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Account # XXXX ( last 4 of account : XXXX ) Balance : {$2200.00} Seller : XXXX XXXX XXXX. ( appears to be duplicate reporting ) Violations and Concerns 1. Failure to Validate Debt ( FDCPA 809 ( a ) ) PRA has not provided proper validation of these debts. They have failed to send original signed contracts, full account histories, or proof of legal assignment from the original creditors.

2. Inaccurate Credit Reporting ( FCRA 1681e ( b ) ) PRA is reporting accounts with incomplete and inaccurate information. In some cases, they are reporting duplicate XXXX XXXX accounts, which is misleading and damaging. 
3. Unlawful Verified Responses ( FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) ) After I disputed these accounts with XXXX, the bureau reported them back as verified. However, no actual evidence or method of verification was ever provided by PRA, which is a direct violation of the FCRA.

4. Debt Ownership Issues PRA has not demonstrated legal ownership of these accounts. As a debt buyer, they are required to show a clear chain of title and legal right to collect. Without this, their reporting and collection efforts are unlawful.

5. Possible Statute of Limitations Misrepresentation ( Georgia O.C.G.A. 9-3-25 ) These accounts are less than four years old, but PRA has not disclosed the date of last payment or date of default. This raises concerns about re-aging or misstating the timeline of the debts.

Company: Branch Messenger, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is my third complaint regarding the {$160.00} that was transferred out of my Branch account without my authorization. 

In their last response ( XX/XX/year> ), Branch stated that they had closed the account and mailed a check to the address on file. However, this is not accurate because I never provided a mailing address on my account. Therefore, I have no way of receiving any check they claim to have sent.

It has now been about 12 days since that response, and I have still not received any refund or proof of mailing. Branch has failed to provide confirmation of where the check was supposedly sent, and they have not given me any tracking information or other documentation.

At this point, it appears the company is not being transparent, and I continue to be without the {$160.00} that was wrongfully removed. I am requesting that Branch provide either ( 1 ) proof of mailing with the address used, or ( 2 ) a secure and verifiable method of refund ( such as direct deposit to my bank account ) so I can actually receive my funds.
