Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers.

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago, I submitted dispute letters directly to all three credit bureaus regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. These inaccuracies are clear violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and the bureaus are legally obligated to investigate and correct them. I have received responses suggesting I am using a third-party service, which is false. I am the sole author and sender of these disputes, and I have not enlisted the help of any credit repair company or outside entity.

State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: LD Holdings Group, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have a HELOC with Loan Depot. 
The company has it set-up where it prevents you from paying online. 
The website also blocks you from checking and then making additional payments. It also blocks you from making the payment on the day you are actually making the payment. 
For example, I went on line to make a payment yesterday and the website blocks you from making it. It will not allow you to enter the date, amount or to make an extra payment. 
I tried again today and even though I am making the payment today, it set up a receipt saying that I am making the payment on XX/XX/XXXX or XXXX, charging additional late fees and reporting as >30 days late to credit bureaus. This is fraud and cheating already overcharged customers. 

I called to make the payment and the same mechanisms are blocked when you try to make a payment by phone and the payment the date is receipted and credited is still two or three days in the future and no extra payment is allowed.
