Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back.

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

On XX/XX/2023, I requested direct deposit to my bank for the {$100.00} reward. 
According to the Bank-Rewards Activity web page, a {$100.00} Direct Deposit transaction was completed on the same day. See Exhibit XXXX XXXX 
On XX/XX/2023, my bank received a direct deposit from " COMENITY CAPITAL CC REWARDS PPD '' but it amounted to only {$1.00}. Unfortunately, {$99.00} are missing. See Exhibit # XXXX from my bank. 
I made several attempts to resolve this matter with the bank via the internal messaging system and phone calls. 
Send a message on XX/XX/2023 Send a message on XX/XX/2023 Call on XX/XX/2023 Call on XX/XX/2023 During the call on XX/XX/XXXX, the customer service representative briefly mentioned that the bank has some technical issues with missing XXXX decimal points during direct deposits.

Unfortunately, none of the above communication attempts resolve my concern and as of today, Im still missing {$99.00}. Sound like the bank is running some customer scam.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Let me begin by saying I take ownership in the fact that I was not reading my statements. I would open my statement, read my balance, and make a payment, but not thoroughly reviewing any charges. Last month I noticed an account maintenance fee, and I called to inquire what that fee was. The first thing the rule young man on the other end of the phone said was that its always been there, and Ive been paying it. So I explain to him that I had not noticed it before and what is it? He responded to say its a fee used for dealing with their customer service so I explain to him that Ive never had to call customer service, so please remove the fee. He said they could not remove the fee because its part of their service so then I asked him to go ahead and close the account and he said OK and advised that would stop that monthly fee. I just received my XXXX statement, and the fee is once again present so when I called today I received a totally different story, unrelated to the one that the previous agent had shared with me. Today I was advised it is a fee that can not be removed, but she really could not explain to me what the purpose of the fee was. I feel like they are taking advantage of people who are working hard to rebuild their credit with this type of fee.
