Complaint narrative:
Cease and Desist Request Regarding ELAN FINL SVCS Account Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally request a cease and desist against ELAN FINL SVCS regarding their handling of my account.

I have consistently made payments on time, updated my address when necessary and maintained communication with the company during times of financial hardship. Despite being advised that upon paying {$170.00}, my credit card would remain active, ELAN FINL SVCS proceeded to deactivate the card, causing significant stress and negatively impacting my credit score. When using this card I always made sure payments were paid off in full.

I request an immediate halt to any further actions and be moved from my credit by ELAN FINL SVCS that may continue to disrupt my financial standing. Under code 15 U.S.Code 1601, 15 U.S.

Code 1666b. I also ask for a thorough investigation into their conduct and their failure to adhere to the agreed terms. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

This afternoon, I was shocked to find inaccurate accounts suddenly appearing on my credit report, and I have no idea why. I check my credit report regularly, but this time, there were strange discrepancies that seemed to come out of nowhere. I even refreshed my browser, thinking it might be a glitch, but nothing changed. The inaccurate accounts were still there. I'm requesting that the documents Ive submitted be reviewed thoroughly so that I can put this behind me and never have to worry about it again.
