Company: CASHCALL, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had contacte d Cash Call in order to shop rates for a consumer loan. I did not give them any of my personal information. The  purpose of my call was to only get an idea of what their rates would be in response to their advertising. I spoke with a customer service representative on  XXXX / XXXX /   17  to discuss the possibility of getting a loan with them. The call was for the purpose of discussing rates and terms. After he told me how much the rates were, I decided not to go forward. Again, I did not give them any of my personal information. It is my belief that they " skimmed '' my information from other companies that I had completed an application with. When I called Cash Call to discuss with them that I was upset they had run my credit without my permission, they said that I did give them permission. That is completely false. The dates do not match up either. My credit report shows it was pulled on  XXXX / XXXX / 17  and the customer service rep said it was pulled  XXXX / XXXX / 17 . I have the email that shows when the credit report was pulled. Also, when I asked to speak with a supervisor, they  said one was not available.

'' According to the FCRA Rules, FCRA 623 ( b ) ( 2 ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ), it states that any information can be disputed and MUST be investigated and if you do not investigate AND respond, the CRA must delete the disputed information from its files.

Complaint narrative:
On   XXXX   XXXX   , 2017 I looked  logged into the website  by Bestegg to see if I was qualified and what my rates would by ONLY. On their page where I entered my information, it stated that to check rates and to see if you are qualified your credit WILL NOT be affected. My credit was affected immediately! I was alerted within 2 minutes that my credit was affected. I called the customer service department of Bestegg and was assured that my credit was not affected. I received a call 1 week later by a customer agent from Bestegg asking if I was still interested in the loan. At this time I explained how upset I was about the false  advertisement and how my credit was affected when I read on their front page that my credit would NOT be affected by just checking rates and to see if I qualified for a loan. If you do not accept their loan then your credit is not affected!! This agent seemed to be genuine and was going to pass my complaint on to her supervisor and I would receive a call from this person and  1 1/2 m onths later I am still waiting while my credit is looking awful as I am always working hard to keep it perfect. This is not a company that I would ever work with after I was a victim of fraud and lied to b y two differe nt individuals within this company. I am due some type of restitution for causing my  credit score to rise against my will leading me to have to w ait to refinance my mortgage until this is removed from my credit.

Complaint narrative:
I was unable to pull my free annual credit report for Equifax. In addition to this, I tried to do a dispute through Equifax and it states they can not confirm my identity. I also use third party credit monitoring services and the Equifax portion has not been updated since  XXXX   XXXX     2017. I c ontacted my 3rd party monitoring services and they stated Equifax is not allowing them to pull anything. They told me to contact Equifax directly. I contacted Equifax directly and got nowhere. They were able to confirm my identity, however they could n't tell me what the issue is in regards to pulling reports and credit monitoring services I use. All they did is offer me to purchase a credit score pull directly from them ... .I do n't understand how I cant pull through my credit monitoring services that I pay for, but yet E quifax is a ble to if I pay them directly. To me it appears they are purposely doing this to force people into paying for their products directly to them.
