Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I sent a request to investigate inaccurate accounts on my credit report on XX/XX/2023. It has been over 45 days since I sent my inquiry but still have not received a response. I am writing to formally bring to your attention a matter of utmost importance concerning my consumer rights under the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. It has come to my attention that a consumer reporting agency has failed to comply with the statutory requirement to block the reporting of information resulting from alleged identity theft within the stipulated time frame of 4 business days. As of today, 30 days have passed since my initial request for the removal of these items, and I am deeply concerned about this violation of federal law. I am a victim of identity theft and have taken the necessary steps to dispute and rectify the fraudulent accounts on my credit report. However, despite the clear legal obligation imposed by 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2, the consumer reporting agency in question has not acted in accordance with the law to promptly delete this information from my file. This situation is not only causing me significant distress but also threatens my financial well-being. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize that I have never provided written consent to any consumer reporting agency to report the disputed items on my consumer report. This is a direct violation of my rights as a federally protected consumer. Identity theft itself constitutes a lack of consent, and it is imperative that these accounts be removed immediately. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b, consumer reporting agencies are permitted to furnish consumer reports only under specific circumstances, and none of those circumstances apply in my case as I never granted written consent for the inclusion of these accounts in my report. Please treat this matter with the urgency it deserves, as it directly affects my rights and financial stability as a consumer. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take swift and decisive action to rectify this situation. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and a swift resolution to this issue.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing issue — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: Sterling Infosystems Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
The issue is at this point I can not get a copy of my report, even though it was requested. The report was completed today XX/XX/2023 ( which I don't understand how because I just completed the drug screening yesterday and that is supposed to be in the report as well. ) When I log into the XXXX XXXX, the background report is there. When I click on it says " retrieval error, '' and does not open- so I have no access to the report. 

Now prior to this, XXXX did not send me the information for the background check or the drug screen after I was pushed through by the company to move forward. 
I reached out to the company and was told I did not respond to their email and they have confirmation they sent the email. I advised the XXXX that is incorrect. I had to call Sterling several times ( about XXXX or so ), Sterling even told me that the person at XXXX probably did not know the correct info or didn't know where to look or something to that effect- not exact words, so I told the XXXX and she says she does have access and they told them I did not respond. When I called back, the XXXX rep said they had not received anything from the company I applied with for me to have a background check or drug screen which is because they probably made an error in registering me. So the company XXXX told me to call the hotline for help with their company and I left a message, but I called XXXX back. I received a voicemail ( which was transcribed in my phone ) from XXXX admitting they did not send it because she could not find it in the system that they sent it. They need to tell the company I applied with they made this horrible mistake because I could have lost out on this position due to their errors and it makes me look distrustful. 

Currently, where I am, I can not get a copy of my background report and no one there is telling me why it gives me a retrieval error. I called and talked to about XXXX people and then I asked XXXX for a supervisor and he transferred me to someone I spoke to earlier, XXXX, and he was not a supervisor. I don't appreciate this. I am currently waiting for XXXX whom I was told is a supervisor. XXXX transferred me to XXXX, who told me I should get the report today even though I told him the email said XXXX hours. XXXX said the drug screen was on it as well. 
At this point I am waiting to see the background so that I can make sure there were no other mistakes made.

We responded to an offer of an AAdvantage credit card with a {$200.00} statement credit for XXXX XXXX purchases during the first 6 months and XXXX bonus miles after {$2000.00} in purchases during the first 3 months ( attached ). We received XXXX bonus miles but no statement credit, despite having charged over {$6000.00} in airfare on the card immediately. 

When I contacted Citi AAdvantage about this, I was told to send a copy of the ad to which we responded. Instead of being issued the credit, we received the attached letter stating that, " A {$200.00} statement credit is not a part of the XXXX bonus mile offer. ''

Complaint narrative:
when disputes were made throughout the year of 2023 the company refused to do full investigations in to disputes. if disputes were handled properly i would have won the case which was opened 4 TIMES. Every time they closed the case without speaking to me or the company that refused my refund and caused over {$1000.00} in overdraft fees. These fees would be for items between XXXX dollars at {$35.00} each. On top of this TD bank was charging me XXXX a month for a simple checking account fee when i was supposed to be paying {$15.00} or less. This action also caused overdraft fees. This is a scam and I will take them to small claims court beause i work hard for my money. Everytime i tried toget the over draft fees returned back to me they would refuse. even after speaking with a XXXX they would only refund 2 fee 's out of 10!
