Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CAVALRY INVESTMENTS, LLC
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE REQUEST Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to notify you that on XX/XX/year>, neither Cavalry Portfolio Services , LLC nor their legal representatives from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX appeared in court as scheduled regarding the alleged debt referenced above. 

This failure to appear further highlights the lack of diligence and professionalism on the part of Cavalry and XXXX XXXX XXXX in pursuing this claim against me. It also reinforces my position that the debt collection and garnishment efforts have been mishandled and possibly abusive. 

I respectfully request that this information be noted in the official record and taken into account in any ongoing review or investigation of this matter. 

Thank you for your attention. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I was told that I spoke to someone from a company that told me I was being overcharged on the interest on my XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX cards. At the time I had no balance on the XXXX XXXX card. They withdrew {$7500.00}. from my XXXX XXXX account and {$5700.00}. from my XXXX XXXX account. I did not authorize these charges. I don't know who they spoke to, but it wasn't me. 
I have already contacted both XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX and they continue to keep these charges on my accounts.

After this all happened, I called all 3 accounts to ask about this issue of overcharging, and they indicated they had never called me about that issue.

Clearly, this is a fraud and I should not be held responsible. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Possible Financial Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Possible Finance is reporting my account as charged off even though I paid the full balance on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I made repeated good-faith attempts to pay off the account, but the app locked me out multiple times and their support team refused to allow debit card payments. I emailed them repeatedly asking to resolve the issue and pay manually. 

Once I was finally able to pay in XXXX, they marked the account as paidbut kept the charged off status on my credit report. This is misleading, damaging, and violates the FCRA. 

I have attached screenshots of : My communication with Possible Credit report images Proof of payment Final response from Possible on XX/XX/XXXX confirming they would not remove the derogatory status I believe this is a violation of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) for furnishing inaccurate information, and I reserve all rights under UCC 1-305, FCRA 609, 611, 616, and 617.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX  I was charged for a subscription service that I had cancelled with the company. As soon as the charge appeared I disputed the charge because I had cancelled it. The credit card dispute was improperly denied because the company claimed I had checked a box about renewals. I have provided written evidence of the cancellation to the credit card company but they refuse to take it off of my bill. I closed the credit card because they are not protecting me against fraudulent charges. As a consumer, I have the right to cancel subscription services, These services are paid in advance, I cancelled prior to the renewal, and I do not receive any service or benefit for the service they supply. I notified all parties properly in advance that I no longer wanted this service. The credit card company is reporting on my credit report that I am late in my payment, but I do not owe the amount. ALL AUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS WERE PAID OFF WHEN I CLOSED MY ACCOUNT. I NOTED SUCH ON MY CHECK FOR FINAL PAYMENT NBUT THEY PROCESSED THE TRANSACTION AS AN ACH PAYMENT RATHER THAN THE CHECK THAT I SENT WITH THOSE DETAILS.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : Good afternoon. I have previously complained about my credit score dropping from XXXX to XXXX. Now, this agency dropped my score again to XXXX, and have not even responded to first complaint. According to this agency, the total balance on all my accounts increased to {$240.00}. This balance reflects a {$900.00} credit line which would equal a 27.1 % utilization. All balance total on my credit cards is <30 % going as low as 11 %. This agency said that my utilization increased by 7 %. How did it increase 7 %?!. This agency can't even show any proof of how it went up 7 %. Do they even know simple arithmetic? 
I was approved for a new XXXX  with {$900.00} credit limit. So, this should help boost my score since this will decrease my credit utilization. Another factor of said drop in score was average age of account. Oldest is XXXX ( latest ) XXXX = XXXX NOT XXXX as said cause drop in score. Newest account is 1 month old = XXXX year. 
My premium membership should get me my XXXX  and XXXX  credit scores. I have to wait XXXX  months for a credit score according to this agency? Where are my scores?!!!

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Denied request to lower payments
Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Santander Consumer USA due to predatory lending, confirmed misrepresentation by their staff, and their exploitation of my status as a vulnerable consumer and survivor of XXXX XXXX 

In XX/XX/year>, I called to request a one-month extension and was told I could call back before my next due date for a second. When I did so on XX/XX/year>, a supervisor admitted on a recorded call that I had been misinformed and that this was Santanders fault. However, I was told no solution was possible, and the call was escalated without further resolution. 

This is not a one-time mistake. The loan itself is predatory : the interest is so high and the cars depreciation so extreme that Ive been denied all refinancing options. I have made consistent payments, yet the balance has barely moved. This is financial entrapment by design. 

As a survivor oXXXX XXXX XXXX, this situation is retraumatizing. I am doing everything I can to rebuild my life, and Santanders lending practices are a barrier to that recovery. I believe they have engaged in unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts or practices ( UDAAP ) and taken advantage of my circumstances.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
