Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: Klarna AB
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I tried to make a larger payment than minimum installment to pay less interest. There is only the option online to make the installment payment or pay entire balance. There is no option to make larger payments to decrease interest paid. They are trying to force you to pay more interest. I called customer service and was told there is no option to pay more. This kind of loan should be illegal in the United States. This is obviously done because many customers may not be able to make entire payment.

However, I have not received any validation information despite multiple requests.

3. **Use of Deceptive Means** : Your agency has engaged in false, misleading, and deceptive practices, which is a violation of consumer rights. 

4. **Failure to Provide Required Disclosures** : Your agency has furnished the account to consumer reporting agencies without providing the necessary disclosures, as mandated by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ). 

Additionally, I want to inform you that I am disputing any and all debts owed to your agency. Furthermore, I am revoking all rights for you to communicate with me via text, email, or phone calls.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Dear Consumer, Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against [ Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC ] for violations of my consumer rights, as protected by the Consumer Financial Protection Act. It has come to my attention that [ Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC ] placed a collection on my consumer file without issuing the requisite notice and without notifying me of my right to dispute this alleged debt. 

I hereby declare my revocation of all communication channels with [ Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC ], including text messages, emails, and phone calls. I insist on engaging exclusively through written correspondence. 

In line with my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am formally requesting that [ Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC ] provide a purchase order agreement between them and the original creditor. I am particularly concerned about the accuracy of the account information, as the agreement may contain clauses stating that the data being purchased might be inaccurate. If [ Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC ] is unable to produce this documentation, I demand the immediate deletion of the account from my credit report. 

The date on my consumer report indicating that I opened an account with [ Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC ] is blatantly false. I neither received any services or products from [ Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC ] nor entered into any contractual agreement with them. This misinformation tarnishes my credit history and infringes upon my consumer rights. 


The actions of [ Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC ] constitute clear violations of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ), 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), and 15 USC 1681-s 2 ( 7 ) ( A ). I am formally demanding the swift deletion of this collection from my credit report, and I trust the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will thoroughly investigate and address these infractions. 

Please keep me informed about the progress of this complaint, and I appreciate your attention.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, i looked at my report. I sent a letter to TransUnion on XX/XX/XXXX asking them in reinvestigate these accounts XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  the sent me their investigation and said these accounts are complete and accurate. 
XX/XX/XXXX I sent a written request for them to provide a detailed description of the investigation process. Which they did not respond to. 

Heres the tracking for that letter : XXXX I looked at my report and noticed everything is still the same And according to 15 USC 1681i 5 they are suppose to do this ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. 

15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate. 

TransUnion really did not reinvestigate. They lied on an official document saying they did something they did not do and i have evidence to prove my case.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX. I am writing to demand that my privacy rights be respected. 

Transunion, XXXX and XXXX are in violation of my privacy which the government has sworn to uphold. As a US-based business they should follow the law. Not only have they violated my rights to privacy, but they have also violated the FRCA. They are sharing my information without authorization, consent or written instruction. I have no contracts with these consumer reporting agencies, and they have no excuse for sharing my information with their affiliates. This is invasion of my privacy and extortion. They are threatening to continue disclosing my personal information until I pay. 

This is also a violation of the criminal code 18 U.S. code 1343. They are using multiple sources to promote and propagate fraud, extortion and identity theft, 18 U.S. code 1028. 

In addition to these blatant violations, there are still more problems unresolved. I expect all late payments to be removed and transactions to be excluded from my report. So much of the FRCA has been violated that I have grown weary of finding violations. I will simply list them as follows : 1. 15 U.S. code 1681a 2. 15 U.S. code 1681b 3. 15 U.S. code 1681c 4. 15 U.S. code 1681i I am demanding the cease of improper reporting and knowing violations as per 15 U.S. code 1681s.

In order for equitable relief, I demand the following items be corrected and/or removed without delay and rapid restoration of my report and score, or I will be forced to instruct the CFPB and FTC to do a thorough investigation. 
1. XXXX XXXX - XXXX - account removed from my report. 
2. XXXX XXXX XXXX- all late payments removed and listed as " paid as agreed ''. 
3.XXXX  XXXX- all late payments removed and listed as " paid as agreed ''. 
4. All 7 inquiries. 
5. To have all addresses except " XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Pa XXXX '' be removed from my consumer report. 
6. To have all employers except for " XXXX XXXX '' removed from my consumer report. 
7. To have names except for " XXXX XXXX '' removed from my consumer report.
