They informed us that these statements had been deposited to our online access space, of which I was unaware as the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had been acquired by XXXX  and they were still transitioning to a new " unfamiliar '' user interface. 

Suffice to say that I paid the outstanding balance the same day and put the future payments to " auto-debit ''.

On XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023 my checking account was charged several time from the companies XXXX XXXX in XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXcommerce in Texas. The amounts charged to my account totaled {$1700.00}. I contacted my bank ( Chase Morgan Bank ) on XX/XX/2023 to report a fraudulent claim. It was investigated and denied. The reason for it being denied was originally determined confidential and I could not be told over the phone. I called again and asked for the reason to see if another person might explain it to me. They stated that they had sent out fraud alerts to both my email and via text message regarding the amounts charged to my card from these companies, and that I had authorized them. This is untrue, I have no emails or text messages from chase regarding these charges, nor did I authorize them. I explained that this was incorrect and the investigation needed to be redone. They stated the only way they could reopen the investigation was if I sent in further proof. I wrote them a letter and sent all texts and emails I have received from Chase Bank, none of which alerted me to these fraudulent charges. I have yet receive any more information on my investigation or receive any money back from the bank.

Complaint narrative:
It has been more than 52 days since I sent a letter to transunion ( the only agency to not respond ) to remove/opt me out of reporting certain information. I have reason to believe that this predatory company is continuing to report those accounts because they make money on it. If they do not remove the following accounts I will want to see the accounting records as I should be making money out of my information as well. The accounts goes as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Additional to opting me out of reporting those accounts pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 6802, they are reporting the following account incorrectly, XXXX XXXX XXXX. They are reporting it as a repossession while the other consumer reporting agencies are reporting as Paid/current. Transunion does not want to do their duty as a consumer reporting agency and its clear that this company needs to be shut down.

Company: Thaxton Investment Corporation
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
According to my consumer reports ( XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ) this financial institution has furnished an account without disclosing opt out information to me. I have recently read the GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT under the Federal Trade Commission and they are failing to comply with the law. The GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT requires financial institutions companies that offer consumers financial products or services like loans, financial or investment advice, or insurance to explain their information-sharing practices to their customers and to safeguard sensitive data. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act seeks to protect consumer financial privacy. Its provisions limit when a " financial institution '' may disclose a consumer 's " nonpublic personal information '' to nonaffiliated third parties. The law covers a broad range of financial institutions, including many companies not traditionally considered to be financial institutions because they engage in certain " financial activities. '' Financial institutions must notify their customers about their information-sharing practices and tell consumers of their right to " opt-out '' if they don't want their information shared with certain nonaffiliated third parties. In addition, any entity that receives consumer financial information from a financial institution may be restricted in its reuse and redisclosure of that information. This financial institution has failed to disclose this information to me and knowingly and willfully withheld pertinent information regarding the disclosure of my information to affiliated and non-affiliated third parties. This financial institution knowingly, and willfully withheld information that explains how I the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. This is a violation of the GRAMM-LEACH_BLILEY ACT and they should be held accountable for intentionally not giving customers the right to opt out of their disclosures..

Complaint narrative:
Good Morning : On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Target Red Card Services saying that I hadn't made a purchase in awhile roughly 8 months with a XXXX balance on my card. Last purchase was on XXXX 
The letter stated that if I didn't make a purchase in a few months they would send me another letter reminding me of their closure policy and to allow me to make a purchase to keep the card open and my credit limit of {$4300.00}. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I had made a purchase then hand second thoughts cancelled the purchase and the remade the purchase. I ran into a problem which was finally revealed that my credit limit had been reduced by {$3300.00} and that I needed to get a XXXX to release the cancelled amount to make my purchase. 
On XXXX I sent an email to the XXXX heads of Target letting them know that I was an infuriated customer and that I expected to have my credit limit put back to {$4300.00}. 
I have heard nothing until today when on XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX that basically they were not going to nothing. Sorry, to bad nah nah nah. 
Here is the problem in their letter on XX/XX/XXXX they stated and I quote " If there is no new activity in the next few months, an additional correspondence will be sent to you to remind you of our account closure policy, prior to any action being taken. As a reminder your credit limit is {$4300.00}. '' End quote. 
the problem is that they did not send me a reminder letter and on XXXX they reduced my credit limit. That in turn hurt my credit score, and my credit rating. 
I called Target Rec Card Services the evening of XX/XX/XXXX and talked to a supervisor, who at first I was nice to and then progressively became verbal with because they made the mistake and caused me to have my credit reduced and as I stated to the supervisor, respect gets respect and I felt I wasn't going to or did I get any respect. So none given in return. Ask for the recording that was placed at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) and lasted for XXXX Minutes.
