I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion regarding violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

They have consistently failed to send validation of debt or respond to validation requests, failing to follow the guidelines set forth by the FDCPA and FCRA. 

In addition to these violations, I have been unable to obtain my free credit reports from XXXX and TransUnion via XXXX for the past XXXX months, which is a violation of my rights under the FCRA. This inability to access my credit reports has further hindered my ability to address and correct inaccuracies. I also want to point out that in my credit report XXXX XXXX XXXX has XXXX different addresses and phone numbers on my credit report and none of those addresses/phone numbers matches the address or number they have on their website which is inaccurate and confusing to me I kindly request that the CFPB investigate these violations of the FDCPA and FCRA by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, and TransUnion, and take appropriate actions to remedy these issues. Additionally, I request that appropriate enforcement actions be taken against the XXXX XXXX XXXX for its continued violations, as demonstrated by the evidence provided.

Company: UPGRADE, INC.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Upgrade Financial and XXXX XXXX XXXX for changes to my existing Upgrade Card Loan. Based on an internal review, they have decided to disallow additional draws under my existing loan, citing the reason as " No FICO Score ''. This decision was made without any prior notice or discussion with me. 

While they have mentioned that a new Upgrade Card Loan may be available to me at a different APR, this does not address the issue at hand. I have been a responsible borrower and have maintained a good credit history. The sudden change in my loan terms and the reason cited for it are both concerning and confusing. 

Their common practice needs to be exposed to other consumers.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax admitted to a data breach an confirmed my information was in fact compromised in this breach. They have yet to provide compensation for the neglectful practices of their organization. They also have the audacity to request proof of hours spent dealing with this matter when there is no possible way to keep track of that as the breach happens a few years ago and we are just being notified as of recently. With that said the fraud found on my credit report could in fact be becof this breach but the bigger matter at hand is that my info was in fact confirmed to be breached which is a violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Federal Computer and Abuse Act just to name a few. Being this organization has my full name, date of birth, social security number, address, and my entire credit profile my identity in its entirety has been placed at stake. There have been several items on my credit report that reported negatively that I have since been able to remove that I believe were related to this breach. This has caused me and my family so much distress and humiliation along with XXXX because of denials due to items reporting negatively which were mind. Now I have undue stress because XXXX random person has ALL MY INFORMATION. I have to constant worry about my identity being stolen and my information being used. There is no timeframe on this matter because my social security number will never change, my date of birth will never change, and as of now I have no intention on my address changing. This means this information can be used anytime now or in the future leaving me vulnerable to being a victim of ideas theft.
