Complaint narrative:
Re : Complaint Regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX and Violation of Consumer Protection Laws Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing this formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding its failure to protect consumer data, resulting in the massive 2017 data breach, which exposed sensitive personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and in some cases, drivers license numbers.

Failure to Maintain Reasonable Security Practices : XXXX violated the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), 15 U.S.C. 6801 ( b ), which requires financial institutions to protect the security and confidentiality of customer data. 
Ongoing Harm : Despite corrective measures, I have experienced fraudulent activity and credit issues as a direct consequence of the breach. 
Legal Violations Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. 


1681b : XXXX failed to properly restrict access to consumer information.

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Company: Evergreen Financial Services Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
This company has called me and asked me to pay my debt. I answered their call and told them that I wasn't able to pay for the bill at the moment but will pay when I was able to. They then called my father asking him questions about me the day they called me as well. Not only did they call my father who was not part of my contact information at all, but they also my brothers girlfriend who is not directly family nor part of my contact information as well. 

I don't appreciate them contacting other people about me. If they had any questions about my work, my address, or anything else, they could have asked me directly. I would have answered their questions, but they didn't ask me anything except if I could pay the bill. 

I also do not know how they were able to get a hold of my father or my brothers girlfriend about me if they were not part of any information I have ever given. It is very weird to me that they would contact anyone other than family who is part of my contact information, or just anyone at all if they were able to get a hold of me the first time they called.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with capital one 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 to be removed/updated. 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. 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!

After thoroughly reviewing my TransUnion credit report, I was shocked to find multiple errors that should never have been there in the first place. These inaccuracies are more than just minor mistakesthey are actively damaging my financial reputation and creating unnecessary obstacles. I refuse to let misinformation dictate my creditworthiness, and I am demanding an immediate investigation and correction. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that is both accurate and verifiable. If any of these disputed items can not be backed by solid evidence, they must be removed at once. This is not a simple requestit is a legal demand for compliance with federal law. I expect this matter to be resolved promptly.
