On XX/XX/24, I recently dispute inconsistent and inaccuracies from this company Bridgecrest and I sent them proper I.D., Social Security Number, and Lease Agreement that this is me.

Company: MicroBilt / PRBC (formerly CL Verify)
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is in regards to an unauthorized inquiry, which was made, using my personal information. The company involved in this action is MICROBILT located at XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX. They illegal utilized my social security number with which was obtained by XXXX XXXX XXXX who I have never provided them my personal information. I am not in debt with either company nor have I ever done any business with them. Court records will show no outstanding dept with XXXX XXXX XXXX or any clients of theirs. Therefore, the utilization of me personal information was unauthorized and illegal act. 

Mircrobilt filed to unauthorized HARD INQUIRIES On : - XX/XX/XXXX ( MICROBILT ) Requested by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX ( MICROBILT ) Requested by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed a NOTICE TO CEASE & DESIST OF FRAUD ATTEMPT AND UNAUTHORIZED USE OF SOCIAL SECURITY via certified mail in which MICROBILT have received. Within this letter I demanded them to refrain from any further illegal use of my personal information. A response was required in which they have neglected all of my concerns. I reached out to the company a couple of times and they stated the situation was being handled. I verified my information with the necessary requirements but they insisted on demanding more information from me. I first spoke with a representative who refused to give me their name. She stated that she would update the system by submitting a " Fraud File to Delete Inquiry ''. I asked for confirmation that this action took place and she insisted on demanding more personal information in order to receive confirmation. She began to become aggressive and overly demanding and as I requested to speak to a supervisor, she transferred me to another rep that ultimately disconnected the call. All attempts to rectify this matter have failed as every representative of MICROBILT were unprofessional and refused to answer any questions. This is not the first time I heard of this company authorizing inquiries and committing fraud, as there are several reports online. I asked MICROBILT to immediately updates the Credit Bureaus that the Inquiry was fraudulent and unauthorized or I will file a legal suit. This is my last attempt to handle this matter through the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau as they have already received my previous letter, which is also attached with this complaint. Once again I did not make the inquiry or authorize MICROBILT to utilize my personal information. After such action is taking place I also request that this company Cease & Desist any further contact to me.

Complaint narrative:
I got scammed by a fake " merchant '' on PayPal for the amount of {$93.00} on transaction ID : XXXX on the fake website : XXXX XXXX XXXX. A website that is impersonating XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I must not have noticed the website redirect. 

I immediately contacted XXXX and PayPal pre-authorization and pre-payment to report fraud and to have the transaction cancelled, but I was told I would have to wait until the payment when through before disputing. XXXX requested me to work with PayPal. PayPal assured me they have a process to handle fraud but this would come after payment processes and a dispute can subsequently be filed. 

Once the payment went through, I submitted a fraud dispute. PayPal did not even bother looking into the matter and instantly closed my case with no action within an hour. I am baffled, the merchant info is not legitimate and evident my the name and email : " XXXX '' and " XXXX ''. However, PayPal chose to side with the fraudulent " vendor ''. I also requested PayPal that the fraud vendor does not get my personal information but they could care less.

Complaint narrative:
On the XX/XX/2024 I applied for a line of credit through Discover it Card where after I answered the questions asked of me and provided my personal information like my name, address, social security and other personal information, I received a denial letter, advising that my credit was denied. Discover has violated my consumers right by discriminating by treating my application unfavorably based on other credit transaction under Equal Credit Opportunity Act 12 CFR 1002.7 Individual accounts. A creditor shall not refuse to grant an individual account to a creditworthy applicant,, marital status, or any other prohibited basis. ( m ) Credit transaction means every aspect of an applicant 's dealings with a creditor regarding an application for credit or an existing extension of credit ( including, but not limited to, information requirements ; investigation procedures ; standards of creditworthiness ; terms of credit ; furnishing of credit information ; revocation, alteration, or termination of credit ; and collection procedures ).

As well as the word from their own prospectus and XXXX and XXXX form submitted to the SEC as to how consumers are Silent Investors of the company once Valuable Consideration is given which it was. Since the letter that was sent to me dated XX/XX/2024 is both proof and evidence that I have been discriminated against, you are also criminally liable. Discover Bank should resort to reasonable procedures to rectify this affair and compensate me for this use of my Securities otherwise this is and would be securities fraud since I have received NO BENEFIT.

Macy's/Citibank , N.A . 
Account number : XXXX Age of account : 8 years and 3 months Attention : Macy 's or whom it may concern, I am writing about the above account and why is it still on my credit report after all these years and paid. I an requesting that Macy 's remove this negative, paid information from my credit report as an act of " goodwill '' because this account has been paid.This is hurting me, my life, my credit history and score. Truthfully, this is unfair because I paid what was asked and owed, but you don't care. So, I'm taking the initiative to write a review on Macy 's to corporate and let your collection practices and your business become exposed and damaged. It would help me immensely if you could make a goodwill adjustment to remove this from my credit report. Thanks and I hope my request is approved.
