Consumer complaint received 2023-09-08 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Credit denial
Company: FC HoldCo LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I received credit denial for an auto loan from this bank from a dealership. Their reasonings for credit denial were based off of credit reporting for items that went delinquent due to unemployment delayed from a XXXX and several XXXX unemployment claims still unpaid and unresolved. And zero pandemic assistance received during the entire COVID-19 timeframe. Everything was delinquent and caused my credit issues because of delayed unemployment, delayed assistance, and I applied for thousands of jobs claiming to be hiring and they were not. I started doing XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX of XXXX because I was homeless and sleeping at rest stops seeking help for shelter, etc. Or I was denied the jobs based off of EEOC violations. In which case, I have hundreds of complaints filed with all of these agencies that went unresponsive for a year or longer. I am owed roughly {$42000.00} to {$96000.00} in unemployment money. I wound up homeless and lost my FHA HUD backed mortgage waiting on nothing to happen.

Him and all other political representatives in my district and directors on all levels of government agencies received hundreds of letters, emails, calls, etc., from me and NOBODY responded over a 4-year period. Which prompted a congressional ethics complaint. Prompting me to go about this in this manner to prove a point to the lack of action and response from people who are supposed to be a service to the public and I was a taxpayer. And now am again. I'm not in my situation by choice. I didn't create this!

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a product called : " TransUnion Report, Score, and 3-Bureau Credit Monitoring ''. I noticed the same day that it was not giving me access to the product after I purchased it and was trying to make me pay again. It gave me my TransUnion Report and Score but not the three bureau credit monitoring. On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with an agent and they thought my problem was logging in even though I explained that wasn't the issue. After being on hold they said they couldn't figure it out so they put me on hold again and then put me on with a supervisor. After I explained to the supervisor what the problem was, I heard silence for maybe a minute, then it took me back to the initial prompt you get when you call. The supervisor had hung up on me. I then got an agent online. I gave my information, and explained the problem. The online agent first told me that I had only paid for the TransUnion score and report, but I told them I had the receipt which said " TransUnion Report, Score, and 3-Bureau Credit Monitoring '' and was charged the amount the product costs, XXXX. I provided the order number and date of purchase as well. They then told me that 3 bureau credit reporting and 3 bureau credit monitoring were two different products, and that I would have to pay again to get credit monitoring. I clicked on credit reporting and saw that I didn't get the other two credit reports either. So this explanation made no sense. They didn't offer a refund but when I pressed them I asked for a refund and they gave it to me. They then charged me and issued a refund again for the amount they had just charged me. I was appalled by how deceptive this product was and how they tried to get me to pay again for a product I had already purchased and had a receipt for.

I did some research about credit reporting laws, and from my understanding if a consumer finds errors on their credit report, they have a right have them fixed. 
Experian is in violation of 15 U.S Code 1681s-2- Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has a reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 
I got this information from the FTC, and the CFPB. This incorrect information on my credit report is causing problems when I try to apply for credit. Please investigate this matter, and get back with me when you are finished deleting the inaccurate accounts. I hope this will be soon. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I sent the following message to MOHELA on XX/XX/XXXX ( personal data redacted ) : To whom it may concern : These are standing payment instructions for my account # XXXX. Any and all payments made to this account are to be applied to the current bill. If the current bill 's minimum payment and all accrued interest has been met, payments are to be applied to the principal balance of the loan with the highest principal. I NEVER want a single payment or Auto Debit payment to be used to 'advance the due date ' on my loans or put them into 'pay ahead / paid ahead ' status. To repeat, all overpayments to this account shall be applied to the principal of the loan with the highest balance. If any of my payments are not applied per these standing instructions I will be contacting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and I will pursue all necessary legal actions against MOHELA. Thank you, I received an automated response stating that they had received my message. However when I check my account I see that they have indeed placed my loans in a " paid ahead '' status, with the next due date being set to XX/XX/XXXX. This, of course, in no way benefits me as a consumer or debtor, which is why I gave them such explicit instructions. As they are ignoring my instructions I can not trust that they are calculating my interest correctly or not otherwise committing any kind of fraud. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Complaint narrative:
Im submitting this complaint against Experian, XXXX, and XXXX due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA, since XX/XX/2022 to present. I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous mental and financial distress, preventing me from getting approved from the credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.
