Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly — Talked to a third-party about your debt
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am not the person involved in the debt and have no relation to them. On XX/XX/XXXX I was contacted by midland credit management about a debt the way the started the conversation off was by asking the name, Ill admit this situation isnt fully their fault I was busy at school and with backround noise, it was difficult to hear the name so I believed it to be mine. I said yes and the customer service representative that I spoke to gave me this persons full date of birth. At that time I realized they had the wrong number, I let them know and shortly after the call dropped i assume because the call had gone completely silent. I was called again today XX/XX/XXXX about this same person at that point I let Midland Credit Management know I was not this person and I was told Id have my number remover. I was skeptical of this company because they called from different numbers so I assumed they were trying to scam me or the person they were calling about, so I did request multiple times to speak to a supervisor so I could make them aware of this situation and at one point the representive asked if I was settling. I let him know again its not my debt and that they illegally gave me that the debt holders full date of birth. I was finally transferred to a supervisor. I did call back a few times to verify all numbers were from them and to confirm that the call I received on XX/XX/XXXX was in fact from them and not a scammer.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Violation of Privacy Act of 1974 and Consumer Bill of Rights Dear CFPB, I am writing to report a violation of the Privacy Act of 1974 and my Consumer Bill of Rights by U.S. Bank National Association. Specifically, I was asked to provide my Social Security Number ( SSN ) by representative XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) without being informed if it was mandatory or voluntary, or if any statutory or regulatory authority authorizes the collection of my SSN and the uses that will be made of it. This violates 15 CFR 2004.28. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I interacted with XXXX XXXX XXXX via email, and he informed me that we can not proceed without my SSN. However, he failed to provide the necessary disclosures required by law. As a result, I was denied my right to be informed, my right to safety, and my right to service. 

I am disappointed and frustrated with the services provided by U.S. Bank, specifically with regards to my recent application process. Unfortunately, my experience has fallen short of my expectations due to inadequate communication, lack of transparency, and insufficient knowledge displayed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I kindly request the CFPB to investigate this issue and take necessary actions to ensure compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Consumer Bill of Rights. I request that U.S. Bank provide clear disclosure on the requirement and usage of Social Security numbers for applications and offer alternative methods for verification, if available. I have attached my communication records with XXXX XXXX XXXX via email for your reference. Please contact me at XXXX to discuss this matter further. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and look forward to a resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. During the purchase and financing process, I was told that the financing approval was dependent on the purchase of the vehicle warranty to protect the collateral and spare me any costs of repairs. However, once I agreed to purchase the warranty, I never received any information on obtaining service or scheduling repairs. I contacted the dealership and was told I would receive the warranty agreement and loan statement within 30-45 days. 30 days later, I never received any information regarding the warranty or a loan statement to remit payment. I contacted the dealership to verify who financed the vehicle, and I spoke with the sales manager and was told that my financing was provided by PenFed Credit Union and to contact them regarding payment and warranty information. I searched PenFed Credit Union online and found a customer service number, I spoke with a representative and I was told my first loan payment was late. My payments have been 30 days late ever since that conversation. I called and requested assistance or a payment arrangement, and my requests have fallen on deaf ears. I have been assessed {$1400.00} in late fees, a {$200.00} repo fee ( This vehicle has never been repossessed ), and {$120.00} in ACH return fees totaling {$1800.00}. PenFed Credit Union has also reported this loan late multiple times to credit reporting agencies, causing substantial damage to my credit score. As of today, I have paid this loan current. I also have another loan with Pen Fed Credit Union that has never been paid. I am requesting relief and my credit history to be restored.
