Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, XXXX  continues to allow damaging inaccuracies to persist on my credit profile. These unresolved errors are more than just frustratingthey are unjust, and they are actively interfering with my ability to move forward financially. Every time I apply for a loan, a credit card, or any financial opportunity, these incorrect entries stand as barriers that I shouldnt have to face. It is unacceptable that after multiple disputes, you still havent taken the appropriate steps to ensure your data is correct. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are legally required to verify every single reported item with original, legitimate documentation. If you can not confirm the accuracy of these records with credible, dated evidence, then these entries have no place on my report and must be removed immediately. I am demanding that you conduct a thorough reinvestigationnot a generic response, not a rubber-stamped review, but a meaningful audit backed by proper documentation. Continued delays and inaction will be treated as a deliberate and unlawful disregard of your obligations under federal law. Ive been more than patient, but my patience has run out.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against KIA Motors Finance regarding the mishandling of my auto loan following a total loss incident. I purchased a new XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXe XXXX  from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The loan for this vehicle was obtained through KIA Motors Finance at the same time. This vehicle was recently declared a total loss after being rear ended at a red light by a distracted driver. The at-fault party 's auto insurance, XXXX, has already provided the total loss documentation to KIA Motors Finance , as confirmed by KIA Motors Finance in a phone call earlier today. XXXX and I are currently working to finalize the total loss settlement I am owed. Despite informing KIA Motors Finance of the total loss and ongoing claim, they are telling me I still need to make my XXXX XXXX monthly payment for the foreseeable future or they will report me to the credit bureaus. This is unfair as I am in financial hardship at the moment and the car no longer exists or is in my possession, through no fault of my own. I asked for a freeze on the auto loan, or at least a one-month hardship extension as the claim is worked out, but KIA Motors Finance refused to help, citing it is their policy. When I asked for this policy to be emailed to me so I can have written documentation, they refused. Instead, the representative would only forward my " customer complaint '' and told me to make the payment or be reported to credit bureaus. I received an email template about the complaint ( attached ). I unfortunately experienced a similar total loss incident in XXXX  right before purchasing the vehicle in question. In that situation, my auto lender ( XXXX XXXX ) was able to work with me and froze the account from reporting while the settlement was worked out with the insurance companies. This prevented me from unnecessary financial harm. KIA Motors Finance 's refusal to provide the same assistance is predatory and puts me at serious financial harm and reputational risk through no fault of my own at a time when I will have to purchase another vehicle.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I used Affirm to finance a XXXX XXXX purchase for a XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX, totaling {$680.00} ( Loan ID : XXXX ). Within five minutes of placing the order, I realized it was the wrong size and canceled the purchase and the loan.

Less than 10 minutes later, I placed a new order for the correct freezer and took out a second loan ( Loan ID : XXXX ). Affirm should have closed the first loan and applied the XXXX XXXX refund to that account. 

Instead, Affirm misapplied the refund to the second ( valid ) loan, and the original loandespite being canceled and refundedstill shows a balance of {$78.00}. Multiple representatives, including a supervisor named XXXX XXXX, acknowledged that the refund was applied incorrectly. Another representative, XXXX, admitted the mistake but insisted I was still responsible for the balance and should turn on autopay. 

As of today, I have two open loans : One that should have been canceled and fully refunded, yet still carries a balance and payment obligation.

One that is valid and current, which I am already paying.

Despite repeated attempts to resolve this, Affirm closed my dispute without correcting the error or offering a meaningful explanation. This has caused undue stress, confusion, and the threat of being penalized for a loan I canceled and never used.

I am requesting : Immediate correction of this billing error.

Closure and zeroing of Loan ID : XXXX. 

Written confirmation that my credit report will not reflect any delinquency related to this dispute. 

Assurance that I will not be billed for a canceled transaction Affirm has already acknowledged was mishandled.
