Company: Sentry Credit, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX c/o XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX [ XXXX ] XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Formal Complaint and Cease and Desist Order Against XXXX, Sentry Credit , Inc. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau , I am writing to file a formal complaint and issue a cease-and-desist order against XXXX for multiple violations of federal laws and regulations, as well as against XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX for their roles in reporting inaccurate and unauthorized information. 

The crux of the inaccuracy in Nordstroms reporting lies in their knowledge that the debt in question was discharged. Despite this knowledge, XXXX continued to furnish information related to my account to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, which is a clear violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 

Furthermore, XXXX unlawfully attempted to collect on a discharged debt, which is considered a certificate of indebtedness by the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ). According to IRS regulations, such discharged debt can not be reported as income. XXXX has failed to provide me with a XXXX for the cancelled debt as required by law. This failure to comply with IRS reporting requirements and the misreporting of my account as a debt rather than a certificate of indebtedness are clear violations of federal statutes. 

In addition to these violations, XXXX has breached its own terms and conditions by sharing my information with non-affiliates, Sentry Credit , Inc., without my explicit consent. This action disregards my right to privacy as a federally protected consumer under the Privacy Act of 1974. 

Moreover, XXXX failed to inform me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 6802 ( b ) ( c ). This failure, coupled with the unauthorized inclusion of adverse information in my consumer report by XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, further demonstrates the systemic disregard for consumer rights and legal obligations. 

I hereby demand that XXXX immediately delete the account related to me from their records and cease all further reporting to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. This cease-and-desist order is issued in accordance with federal laws and regulations governing consumer rights and privacy. 

I also request a thorough investigation into the actions of XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX regarding their handling of my account information and the inaccurate reporting of my financial status. This letter serves as my final attempt to resolve this matter amicably before pursuing further legal action, including filing complaints with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Company: OneMain Finance Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have been having a problem for several months now with the report of a charge-off account with ONEMAIN ( XXXX ) on my credit history, which is causing me financial difficulties. This account is legally paid, which means I fulfilled my obligations with it, and I considered the matter closed at the time. However, I discovered that the account is being reported on my history without my knowledge and consent. I have disputed this with the bureaus and the company in question, requesting documentation to validate the information. I even filed a complaint with the bureaus requesting its removal from my report. However, the bureaus claim to verify the account, and the company has chosen to ignore my requests. Therefore, I decided to file a complaint against them directly, requesting that they remove the account since I have found that the account is providing inconsistent information among the three bureaus, with discrepancies in fixed data such as : high balance, date of last activity, date of opening, date of last payment, among others. In my inquiries regarding this matter, I learned that the information delivered to the credit bureaus must match entirely for each of them. Therefore, the fact that the account is reporting discrepancies among the credit bureaus indicates that incomplete or unverifiable information is being provided, which means the company is violating my rights based on 15 USC 1681 section 604a section 2, 15 USC 1681e ( b ), 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), 15 USC 1681s ( 602 ) ( a ), and 15 USC 1681s ( 604 ) ( a ), sections that indicate the failures the company is committing.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Problem with paying off the loan
Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
Bridgecrest Credit Company , LLC holds the loan for my recently totaled XXXX XXXX XXXX. My insurer, XXXX XXXX, issued 2 payments on XX/XX/XXXX, an electronic payment of {$15000.00}, and a paper check payment in the amount of {$2300.00}. The payment of {$15000.00} was credited to my account on XX/XX/XXXX. The paper check for {$2300.00} has not been cashed as of XX/XX/XXXX ; however, my loan balance has been increased by this exact amount, showing up as a returned to sender payment on XX/XX/XXXX. If these payments had been accurately credited, my payoff balance should be approximately {$2300.00} ; at this time, my payoff balance is currently being displayed as {$4400.00}. 

When I contacted Bridgecrest to see why they debited the {$2300.00} from my account instead of crediting the payment, the representative was unable to explain why this happened. He did verify that my account information showing in the app is incorrect, and stated this was because my account has been " placed for work. '' When I asked when I could expect that to be resolved, he stated that the account had been " placed for work '' for an unspecified and indeterminate amount of time. He informed me that I would need to continue making my regular payments toward the loan, or else I would be reported delinquent to the credit bureaus. 

I also requested details of the " work '' being done to my account, which the representative was also unable to provide. Further, he would not provide an estimate of how long this unspecified work tended to last on average. 

After this phone call I contacted XXXX and confirmed that both payments above had been issued on XX/XX/XXXX, and confirmed that the check for {$2300.00} had not yet been cashed by Bridgecrest. At this time, XXXX will not place a stop payment on this check, in order to allow Bridgecrest to process the payment without additional delay once they have resolved this issue. 

I believe that Bridgecrest is withholding the payment issued by XXXX in order to continue forcing monthly payments on the account at 21.072 % interest, which will prevent me from obtaining financing on a new vehicle. I would further be unable to obtain financing on a new vehicle if they were to report me delinquent on my payments, despite them already having received payment for almost the entirety of the loan. 

At this time, because they are refusing to report my loan balance accurately, I am unable to obtain a new vehicle as I can not project the amount of financing necessary to cover a small payoff balance.
