Complaint narrative:
To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: First National Collection Bureau, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I have been receiving calls from a debt collector stating they are seeking payment on a debt in the amount of {$2200.00}, and how would I like to pay. I asked the representative to send me a statement, along with application of credit that shows my signature where I supposed to have signed an agreement to have a credit card opened in my name. I was told that my address and name was proof enough, and that the burden of proof was on me. I was also informed that they can not show proof that I signed an agreement, due to the possibility that the credit was most likely done on a computer or online. After going back and forth, the representative told me to file a complaint with the XXXX, and a copy of a of the police report in 2022, I also explained that I had the credit bureau dispute negative reporting on my account, and they were successful of removing negative accounts. I do not see any credit card debt on my account, my credit score has been raised, and I have credit monitoring moving forward to stop any further fraud in my name or towards my SS #. Hopefully after this complaint it will stop all future calls. 


Thanks, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I bought a wedding dress in XXXX of XXXX. 
By XXXX of XXXX  I still hadnt received said wedding dress. 
I would call the company and they would tell me over and over that I would receive it by the following XXXX XXXX would come and I still wouldnt have it. 
I finally gave up and decided to dispute the charges. 
USAA reps told me that I shouldnt have anything to worry about and that Id get my money back. However my dispute was denied due to being outside of XXXX  days from my transaction. I filed a complaint with the XXXX  for the company XXXX  and XXXX and XXXX  is not affiliated with lace and grace and I also tried to email the company email to get a refund when USAA denied my dispute. 
I even tried disputing USAA with the XXXX  and USAA finally told me that it was VISAs decision and they have to follow VISAs core values and expectations. However I called XXXX and their core values are XXXX  days from point of purchase OR XXXX  days from expected delivery for goods not received. 
I pointed this out in my recent response through the XXXX  but USAA failed to respond. 
I am filing a complaint here and a complaint with XXXX as well. I feel as though USAA was only honoring their core values, not VISAs or the needs of their members.

Company: PLANET HOME LENDING, LLC
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Back in end of XXXX XXXX, I contacted Planet Home Lending LLC in regards to putting my mortgage into forbearance due to financial hardship ( the basement ended up flooding due to an oversight on the company who inspected the home before purchasing, as well as vehicle issues ) that ended up taking almost all the savings that is put aside for my mortgage. During that phone call, everything was reviewed and I was told that I was eligible to be placed on short term forbearance until XX/XX/XXXX. To my understanding and knowledge it was during that phone call the change was placed- no follow up was needed. In early XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter in the mail from a lawyer, XXXX and XXXX, stating that if I did not have over $ XXXX before XX/XX/XXXX, then my house would be put up for sale. I immediately called Planet Home Lending and asked if it was real and if so what in the world because that is NOT the conversation I had previously. The agent explained to me that I was never placed into forbearance, no communication was sent to me regarding this. I explained to her that this is absolutely ridiculous, she stated they never do a forbearance that long. I asked her why NO ONE has reached out to me by mail or by phone - no answer. I explained to her that something needs to be done about this right now because I am a single mom, and I have XXXX kids at home. We will literally be homeless. She explained to me that she is going to resubmit everything for underwriting and it will be placed on hold. XXXX day - today is XXXX. Yesterday I received YET another letter in the mail from XXXX and XXXX, stating my house will now be put up for sale on XX/XX/XXXX. Today is XXXX and now I dont even know what to do. First they wanted me to get the money by XX/XX/XXXX. Then they said it was going to be resubmitted for underwriting - Now they are saying my HOME- my kids HOME - is being put up for sale. After I have now talked to them more than once about this. I dont know what to do. Please help me. PLEASE.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system.

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.
