Company: MoneyLion Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and XXXX XXXX Missouri Laws Dear MONEYLION, I am writing to address a serious violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and identity theft fraud laws specific to XXXX XXXX XXXX Missouri. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that MONEYLION has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law emphasizes the importance of consumer consent for credit reporting. Furthermore, identity theft fraud laws in XXXX XXXX underscore the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for MONEYLION to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that MONEYLION immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouri state law. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity theft fraud laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that MONEYLION will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I have a credit card with Plus Finance. I had a minimum payment of {$620.00} due by XX/XX/XXXX. In order to stay current, I paid the past due portion of that minimum due, {$450.00}, on XXXX. I received an email confirming the payment. The next day I received an email that the balance of that minimum payment, {$170.00}, was due on that original due date of XX/XX/XXXX. Since I was on an automatic payment plan, I assumed the issue was resolved. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from them that they had successfully processed a payment of the original full amount due of {$620.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, rather than the {$170.00} they had previously identified as the remaining balance. They collect the {$450.00} amount twice. 

I called them to have the transaction reversed and the proper {$170.00} payment then processed, but they told me they would have to initiate an investigation that would take a minimum of XXXX days. They told me that if I needed my money back sooner ( which I do ), that I should go to my bank and contest the transaction as unauthorized. Unfortunately, my bank would take about the same amount of time to investigate and would also have to cancel my debit card. 

It can not be okay that a bank can make what is clearly their error, take a consumers money through an unauthorized transaction, and be under no obligation to return the money in a timely manner, especially when the information is so clearcut ; their own emails to me reflect their error. 

Do I have any recourse, or am I at the banks mercy?
