Complaint narrative:
Despite my previous 4 written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. They stated in their responses to my 4 dispute letters that they have verified that the items listed are accurate but they failed to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that they have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like they said they did. Their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of their willful disregard of Federal Law.

Complaint narrative:
Every week my Bank account is overdrawn severely due to earnin app sending repayment request to my bank which processes all request as soon as they are received. Now as part of their eligibility metric you must avoid a negative bank account to keep access to the payday advance. Each pay cycle my advance amount is lowered and lowered and earnins response was my account is negative each pay cycle so the amount i borrow Each time is lowered but overall Im having my bank account overdrawn by earnin. Last pay cycle i repayed earning about {$220.00} ; which my account was negatively impacted by for an advance that was initially {$200.00}. They also break up your advance amount forcing you to repay fees on both advance amounts. Example Im eligible to borrow {$200.00} but its broken into XXXX separate loans making the apr on both loans for XXXX week excessive and crazy IE : {$150.00} loan repayment is {$150.00} in XXXX days the next day they allow access to the {$50.00} which you would then be charged a XXXX fee for transfer plus a repayment fee

Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/XXXX, I made a Verve credit card payment over the phone with a representative in the amount of {$60.00}. I only authorized an XXXX debit of {$60.00} and the credit card company deducted {$600.00} from my account. They left me with {$.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was trying to withdraw cash from my checking account and my request was denied due to insufficient funds. I looked at my checking account and noticed the huge error made by the credit card company. I called right away and I was basically told they will put in a complaint and I have to wait 3-5 business days. I advised them that they were not authorized to debit {$600.00} from my checking account and they can check their recording to verify. The initial representative I spoke with that day admitted the error should have been caught. I also advised them that they took everything I have and there was no urgency on their part even though it was clearly their error and a very impactful one.

Complaint narrative:
The credit reporting bureaus XXXX tu and XXXX failed to delete innaccurate acct information. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX created a new acct without my authorization added two years to the original deliquency. Intimidated me with threats of lawsuits as a XXXX  citizen I am entitled to fair protection from abusive practices. I paid in settlement 6 credit balances in exchange for agreement to remove the negative reporting and the 2 collection accts I refuse to pay since I have no relationship to them and they add extra fees of close to {$2000.00}. This is an abuse under the regulations of fcra. 
Since the credit bureaus have not responded to my requests I would like to ask cfpb to help resolve this, I am unable to get a loan now which means no transportation. no employment and this makes unnecessary hardship to pay my property taxes and support my family thru school. Its very disheartening because I know there have been recent class actions against XXXX tu and XXXX as well as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX yet they persist in flagrant violations because of profits received at consumer expense and and somehow manage to pay huge litigation costs and settlements yet continue to flout the laws and regulations which provide equity to lowly consumers.
