Complaint narrative:
I would like to clarify that I did not receive a loan, but was approved for a loan. After reviewing the terms, I called to cancel and withdraw my loan application. I was called repeatedly by XXXX XXXX as well as her Supervisor, XXXX demanding I explain to them why I was not interested. I repeatedly requested that my application be canceled. I do not have to provide a reason for doing so. 

The pressure sales tactics of this company are criminal. Once an applicant calls and identifies that they no longer wish to proceed that should be the end of the conversation. 

Please investigate the aggressive sales tactics of this loan company.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Sent card you never applied for
Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Towards the end of XXXX, I received a notification through my credit report that Fortiva had opened a new credit card account in my name. I had absolutely no knowledge of this or why this happened. 

In 2021, I had signed up for an account with Fortiva through XXXX. But it could only be used through them. That account had not had any activity for over a year. 

I reached out to Fortiva on XX/XX/XXXX asking them what happened. They said that they were upgrading me because they believed I would like that since the card could now be used everywhere rather than just at XXXX. They also said that they sent me an email in XXXX that I never responded to, probably because it went to spam. 

It is my understanding that companies are not authorized to simply close and open accounts for people without their actual consent, not just a lack of saying no. Otherwise why wouldn't credit card companies just send out tons of emails to people saying they are going to sign them up for a card unless they respond back. 

By doing this, they caused detrimental impact to my credit score. Not only did they remove an account that I had for over 2 years, which impacts my age of credit history but it also adds a new credit card that simultaneously shortens my average credit age and makes us less appealing for other offers since it shows we recently took out another credit card. I took a drop in my credit score immediately when this happened. 

Regardless of what Fortiva is saying about this being an " upgrade '', it is not an upgrade. I have had this happen with other cards where I was upgraded and the account number stayed the same, not impacting anything else. However this is not the case as it actually closed the old account and reopened a new one.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Medical-Commercial Audit Inc
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On Friday XX/XX/XXXX I received an email, I am attaching it to this complaint. In the email there was an amount stated that I owed {$91.00}. When I called to inquire abut the debt. The person I spoke with first told be that {$91.00} was the total owed. When I started inquiring about the breakdown of the bill I was then told that they have my dispute on file from XXXX for one amount. Then told me that the other amount they could not talk to me about it because I needed to talk to the medical office. Which brings up two issues- if they can not talk to me about this debt, and it's not yet in their office why are they trying to collect? Second for the amount outstanding since XXXX THIS is in dispute. This company is refusing to follow the Fair Debt Collection Act by complying with my repeated requests to provide proof of the debt. I have been told " we can't provide that ''. I have and still maintain that this is not my debt. 

My complaint is two fold : First, back in XXXX I disputed the first debt. By this company 's own admiisson they have my dispute, yet they have for XXXX years refused to provide any proof of me owing this debt. I assert now, like I asserted then that this is not my debt. Second, the new debt- I acknowledge that I was seen, but this is a workman comp bill and according to XXXX  XXXX this bill was never even submitted to them to be paid. Further when I called to speak with someone I was yelled at and then she hung up the phone after stating that they don't even have the debt in their office. If the debt is not in their office, why are they fradulently trying to collect? When I called immediatly back, no one would answer my calls. I aslo left several vocie messages and no one returned the call.
