Complaint narrative:
I have previously submitted numerous requests to your company to reassess the inquiry on my credit report, which I believe to be erroneous. Are you not obligated to conclude such investigations within 30 days of receiving them? I am aware of instances where companies have accessed individuals ' credit without a legitimate purpose, and I have yet to receive any verification of such reasons from your organization. I have made attempts to reach each of the companies listed, and the majority have no record of me whatsoever. 
How can they claim a legitimate business purpose to access my credit if they are unaware of my existence?

Company: Uprova Credit, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
When I initially took out the loan, the company has in their fine print that APRs can range from 34.5 % 35.99 %. It was not until I signed my contract that I was given an XXXX of 480.49 % with XXXX coming out of my account every XXXX weeks. I was having trouble making this payment as it did not align with my pay and I contacted the company. The most they could offer me was to change my due date which only increased the daily interest and made my payment amount go up to XXXX twice a month. To date, I have paid the company a total of XXXX. I have a remaining principal of XXXX. My loan was only for XXXX initially. They have only added nearly {$52.00} of what I paid to the principal. In the end they are expecting me to pay over XXXX solely because of interest. They are taking over {$700.00} a month from me and I am in more of a financial bind due to this loan. I am unable to provide for myself and difficulty paying rent and major expenses because of this loan. I should be nearly done with this loan as I have put out so much money already. From what I was informed, an APR of XXXX is illegal. The loan agree is completely different than what you are reviewing at the time of signing.

Company: CreditNinja Lending, LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a solicitation to apply for a pre-approved loan. I applied thinking it was an unsecured line of credit or a loan period. However, I was approved for a payday loan not a loan like I thought. I then received a credit alert from XXXX stated I had a new credit inquiry by this company. I called the company and they stated they do not extend payday loans without creating an inquiry on your credit report. I was upset because I did not signed anything or initialed a disclosure stated that I gave permission for the credit inquiry or anything similar. Nonetheless, I accepted the payday loan and have pay on it according to the terms. Fast forward at the beginning of this month, I received an invitation to access additional funds. Mind you I have a pay day loan already through them, so I assumed no credit inquiry was going to be made and again I was not clearly or specifically asked for my authorization to make an inquiry on my credit. Hence my dispute. I like to have both inquiries deleted, the XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Both are a violation of the FCRA.
