Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Fifth third bank has not been reporting my payments or accurate balances to the credit bureaus. They have purposely left the credit utilization reflecting a higher utilization than what is current they have not reported the payments or proper usuage for months which was not the agreed upon terms when I got this card. This failure to report has caused an extensive delay in my credit building and makes my account appear to be neglected. At this point I will be looking into pursuing immediate legal action against fifty third bank who has also failed to respond to several complaints still open against them so it has become apparent fifth third had no intention of resolving these matters and continue to manage my accounts in a neglectful and fraudulent manner.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I had submitted an extended equifax data breach settlement claim that included 9 pages of information that I had continued to gather when time permitted. I had identity theft for my XXXX income taxes and someone filed my taxes under my name and received my refund. This was a whole long process to go through with countless hours of verifying my identity with the IRS via phone calls and letters from the IRS. Problems with trying to unfreeze my credit with XXXX and Equifax when applying for a mortgage. In XXXX of XXXX I was scammed out of {$5000.00} from my checking account due to a credit repair company who I had given my information to not knowing it was a scam. The bank did not reimburse me. Most of the transactions were in XXXX the bank told me. My total losses were {$9200.00} which included time spent and the money I was scammed out of my bank account. I had attached all of this information to my equifax claim so it was easy to understand. Equifax had sent me a {$14.00} check two different times when I had started my claim in XXXX due to inaccuracies on my report, but I was not finished with my claim. It took me a long time. The only response from Equifax is them emailing me saying I would have to prove it was from the equifax data breach and they will happily reissue my check for {$14.00}. My name is under the search bar on equifax site showing I was part of the breach. 

I would sincerely appreciate any help you can assist me with regarding this matter. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 

Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer, Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to bring to your attention a matter concerning my credit report and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). As per this federal law, it is required that Experian verify all accounts posted on a credit report through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, they have failed to do so. 

I have previously disputed the XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX accounts on multiple occasions, but I have not received proper debt validations for the alleged debts in question from the debt collector. Therefore, I kindly request that you take the necessary steps to delete the following two accounts from my Experian credit profile : 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Account # XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Getting the loan — 
Company: LDF Holdings, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
have had a loan on XX/XX/2023 I went on a payment plan of 30 weekly payments. I made the final payment on XX/XX/2023 of {$30.00}. I was told that I can re-loan after this is paid off. I decided to reach out to customer service to see what the waiting period is to reapply. I was told that I can reapply over the phone but I wont get the funds until 3 to 5 business days. I went to apply over the phone I was told that I was denied. I went to apply online. It said that I was approved for {$1200.00} and that I will get the funds by XX/XX/XXXX and the application online shows pending when I went to reach out to customer customer service I was told that I would get a call back. I never got a call back I try to reach out. I was told that I was denied but online it is saying that I have a pending application, I spoke with someone named XXXX and he told me that my application was denied and the only way since Im returning customer is to withdraw the application and wait 30 days or do an express application I just feel like as a returning customer customer that is unfair because I have made payments on time and then for me to just get denied and then being given the runaround is not fair at all I feel like this company takes advantage of people that are struggling and going through hard times. I received a call at XXXXXXXX XXXX from Makwa finance and it was a voicemail was left. When I heard the voicemail, all I heard was background noise when I tried calling back at night, I get a call from Lendumo that is a completely different company I have made payments, and then I just turned around and get denied and just have my time wasted that is not fair at all. 


I have attached the screenshots of the application as well
