Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

I had received 2 CashApp Cards in the mail issued in my name and did not have a CashApp account. I reached out to CashApp and I was told there was nothing they could do because I did not have an account, but was assured that my identity was not at risk. Upon receiving a third CashApp card I set up a CashApp account and contacted then and was this time told that my identity had to have been compromised for a CashApp card to have been issued in my name to my address. They told me they were going to forward this issue to the proper group within CashApp and I would receive an email and when I asked how I would be kept informed I was told there was a process that could not be clearly explained. When I asked to speak to a supervisor I was told that the supervisor choose not to speak with me but I would be reached out to by email immediately. I then received an email that told me I have to start the process again through the app. I am on hold a the moment as they try to figure out what to tell me. I also verified my identity in holes that no more cards would be issued in my name and was told that having a verified identity does not prevent others from requesting cards in my name using my address.

Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Complaint narrative:
NetCredit has been erroneously charging me 26 statements/fees a year, instead of 24. Their agreement states that if you are paid bi-weekly, you get charged 26/year, and 24/year. I am paid bi-weekly and I have that in my profile so I should charged 24/statements ( FEES ) a year, not 26. I asked them numerous times to update this, as recently as filing a formal compliant on XX/XX/XXXX, and they've failed to do so. I've also asked that they refund me the fees for the extra billing cycles they've charged me, and they've failed to do so. 

This is my last step to try to resolve this before I go on XXXX and other social media sites and post my experience, and then refer this to my attorney to file a lawsuit against NetCredit.
