Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Portfolio Recovery Associates is harrassing me. The call 5+ times daily, WEEKENDS included AND they call before XXXX and after XXXX - regularly. It's really annoying and inconvenient - as they are a 3rd party and VERY AGGRESSIVE with their approach. I have spoken with them and asked them NOT to contact me, and the representative HUNG UP while I was making my request - because they do not intend to stop. They have multiple lawsuits, resulting in MILLIONS of dollars in payouts- and I'm trying to avoid having to go that route, but I'm very close to seeking a PAYOUT which will be MUCH MORE than they are calling me repeatedly about. Needless to stay, please make it stop. I really can not take it anymore. I've used verbiage like " Seize and Desist '' - doesn't work. I have been on the DO NOT CALL list since XX/XX/year>- AND whatever " debt '' they are harrassing me about, is more than likely from XXXX - A LONG TIME AGO- we are past the statue of limitations - they should NOT still be able to do this.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have made multiple attempts to resolve the issue of fraudulent, inaccurate, and misleading information on my consumer report, but the problem persists.

Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Missouri Laws Dear CREDIT COLL, I am writing to address the blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), as well as Missouri state law concerning identity theft and consumer protection. 

It has come to my attention that CREDIT COLL has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as stated in the FCRA, mandates that consumer consent is required for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

Additionally, under Missouri law, specifically 570.223 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, identity theft is strictly prohibited, including the unauthorized use or misuse of an individuals personal identifying information. The unauthorized access and reporting of my credit information without consent could be considered a violation of this statute, alongside the federal FCRA provisions. 

I assert with certainty that I have not provided consent for CREDIT COLL to report any information to my credit report. This lack of explicit permission constitutes a violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and a disregard for both federal and state laws. 

I demand that CREDIT COLL immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and relevant Missouri statutes, including 570.223 regarding identity theft. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable federal and state laws, including identity theft statutes. 

This is a formal demand for compliance with both federal and Missouri state laws, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. I expect your immediate attention to this matter and anticipate that CREDIT COLL will promptly rectify these violations, respecting my rights under the law. 

Done in good faith.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I filed a previous complaint in XXXX of XXXX about Citibank decreasing your credit limit without notice and without cause. I am a paying customer, with a decent ( but declining due to these issues ) credit score, who pays on time consistently. Now they have done the same thing AGAIN.

Citibank is decreasing the credit limit they initially extend to you without notice or reason. They are decreasing it either to your current standing balance ( leaves a {$0.00} credit balance ) or under your balance ( making you over the limit ). 

If you are using your card without this knowledge, then you are going over your limit. This allows them to increase your interest rate and charge your over the limit fees. This is a money scam. If they are doing this to all their customers, the amount of fees being collected is enormous! 

The extension of credit is not truthful if it can be decreased without cause. They hurt your credit score and then penalize you for something that they created alone. 

I paid my bill on my account ending in XXXX on the XX/XX/XXXX. At that time my credit limit was XXXX. My credit use balance was {$15000.00}. My available credit was {$6400.00}. When I checked my account on the XXXX my credit limit had been reduced to XXXX and my balance was {$16000.00}. Unaware of the balance change I used the card to pay for a service. With the interest accrual and new credit limit I am now over the limit. Which allows them to charge me more fees. At the current time by credit score is XXXX ( as it appears on my Citibank account ).
