Company: Crow Creek Sioux Tribe
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX XXXX I got a loan for XXXX. The payments are for XXXX twice a month for 10 months. So a total of 20 payments times XXXX. The interest rate is 792.53 %. I did some research and this Company has a bad reviews and is not XXXX accredited. I looked into my state laws and this type of loan is illegal and unenforceable in the State Of Washingtion. I made 4 payments and paid back what I borrowed. I sent this company an email to not call me. Only to reach out to me by postal or email and they continue to call me. I should have paid attention to the fine details before I signed the agreement. At the same time I dont understand how these XXXX loans are legal in the first place? I never set foot on their reservation to sign a loan agreement. A third party website directed me to River Valley Loans website. Their immunity should only apply on their land not online. I cant afford to pay this back. I want them to accept what I already paid. I dont want to be harassed by phone calls or River Valley to call my work. This loan was made to me XXXX XXXX, a resident of Washington State and all loan products need or should abide by state laws and have a license to do business in the State of Washington and not hide behind XXXX immunity. Washington State has some pretty strict laws in place as Ive recently done research. Please, I really think there needs to be stricter rules by the Federal Government to stop these predatory lenders. Im in a lot of stress over this.

Complaint narrative:
I reached out to the company regarding the removal of the incorrect information and was denied. In addition, the credit scores for Transunion and XXXX are normally at least XXXX points lower than XXXX and the actual FICO scores that are used by the financial institutions that are providing the consumer credit transactions. I'm not sure why one would have to ask multiple times to have inaccurate information removed from their credit report and have it not be done. I have attached a list of the discrepancies from each reporting agency and hope that this can be resolved and corrected quickly as it is negatively affecting my credit.
