Consumer complaint received 2024-08-08 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Payday loan debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: P&B Capital Group, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I disputed a debt reported by P & B Capital Group through XXXX XXXX, which was listed on my credit report by XXXX. Prior to this dispute, I had not received any communication from P & B Capital Group or XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding this debt. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/year>, P & B Capital Group sent emails requesting payment without providing the required debt validation as mandated by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). These emails did not include essential information such as my rights to dispute the debt, request validation, or obtain the name and address of the original creditor, violating FDCPA requirements. 

The original creditor for this debt was XXXX, not P & B Capital Group. P & B Capital Group initially listed themselves as the original creditor, which is incorrect and misleading. This misrepresentation further violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 

I sent my first formal dispute letter to P & B Capital Group on XX/XX/year>, outlining the violations and requesting proper validation of the debt. On XX/XX/year>, I received a response from P & B Capital Group, which again failed to provide adequate documentation or satisfy the legal requirements for debt validation. Consequently, I sent a second letter on XX/XX/year>, reiterating the need for proper validation and informing them of my intent to pursue legal action if the matter was not resolved. 

Additionally, on XX/XX/year>, I sent a dispute letter to XXXX via certified mail, detailing the inaccuracies and the lack of proper verification from P & B Capital Group. Despite this, on XX/XX/year>, XXXX validated the debt again, even though P & B Capital Group had not provided the necessary documentation to substantiate their claims. P & B Capital Group initially listed themselves as the original creditor, which is incorrect, as they were not the original creditor. Moreover, P & B Capital Group placed this debt on my credit report without ever contacting me beforehand. This continued validation without proper investigation or notification constitutes violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I seek the Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus assistance in addressing these violations and ensuring compliance with the law.

State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I got let go from my fulltime job, I sent a letter to my montage company back in XXXX letting them know that XX/XX/XXXX would be my last day of work. I was sent the information packet XX/XX/XXXX and sent it back on XX/XX/XXXX. I sent a couple emails to the person that sent me the email but they never did respond. I called the Monday of the next week and was told that my house was sent for foreclosure the same day that I called which I believe it was sent when I told them I wouldn't have a job and I was already behind. I requested that I speak with a supervisor and was told she would give me a call once she got out of a meeting and this was on Monday XX/XX/XXXX and still waiting on the call. At my mortgage company I was told by some guy that I didn't qualify for unemployment forbearance because I couldn't afford to make my payments and I didn't have a job and I asked him isn't that what a unemployment forbearance is for? I'm only working a XXXX  job now, my job relocated I sent my mortgage company the letter from my job. I have a FHA Loan on my house and I called them and I was told to call my mortgage company and to be stern with them because it wasn't to late for me to get a unemployment forbearance. Then I was told I think by XXXX that I didn't qualify for it because I was working XXXX XXXX and I told her I had one before and I was working XXXX  XXXX  and she stated maybe the rules changed in Texas. It's like every time I called I get told something different. The only thing they want you to do is a modification which put you in more debt and puts another loan on your house. This is so not fair!! I filled out all forms and sent them back, and now they are saying they didn't get all the information back in time but when I called about they tell me that it's to late to do anything about it but I'm still getting information in the mail, they just want to take my house from me.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX & XXXXXXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX & XXXX XXXX  Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports XXXX
