Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

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:
On XX/XX/year>, I booked a {$69.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( advertised as {$79.00} with a {$10.00} discount for booking online ). The service included a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I enjoyeduntil the end, when I was pulled aside for a high-pressure sales pitch. I was shown XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX It was overwhelming and emotionally upsetting. 

I was then pressured into signing up for a {$3300.00} loan through PatientFi for XXXX XXXX. I clearly told the sales rep I could not afford it, but I am not confrontationalI get shaky and nervous when I feel cornered. She even handled my phone herself and filled out the application to make it faster. I was given a bag of skincare products as a gift for signing up. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the XXXX to cancel and was told I had to use email. I followed all their instructions, including sending photos of the unopened products, and was told I would receive a response in 48 hours. Instead, they denied the cancellation and claimed all sales were final. 

I then contacted PatientFi to dispute the loan and was told only the merchant could refund the funds. I was also told that if no payment is made by next month, the loan could be reported to the credit bureaus. I have blocked future bank withdrawals and submitted a formal dispute to PatientFi. 

Since this happened, Ive read XXXX reviews on the XXXX page from others who experienced the same thing. This appears to be a coordinated, manipulative sales tactic. I was left feeling taken advantage of, XXXX, and helpless. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  All I wanted was a peaceful, relaxing treatment after a XXXX XXXX Instead, Ive been left with a financial and emotional burden I can not afford. I may even have to delay a XXXX XXXX XXXX just to pay off something I never truly agreed to. This situation is taking a toll on my mental health, my education, and my financial future. 

I am asking for this loan to be cancelled and removed from my credit. I trusted the wrong people, and I just want to move forward without this weight on my shoulders.
