Company: UPGRADE, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/23, I applied for what I thought was a flexible spending credit/debit card through Upgrade bank. The offer was for a {$400.00} welcome bonus when you sign up for both the card and their checking account. They offer good interest rates, so I decided to sign up. 

POSSIBLY IMPORTANT- I saw the offer on the XXXX app, and clicked the link to apply through that app. 

After the initial application process, I thought it was odd that I wasn't prompted to open a checking account. It was after midnight at this point, so I decided to deal with it when I woke up in the morning. I signed up for a checking account later on XXXX, and added a savings account. I then called the bank to make sure I didn't miss anything with the application process. 

I was told by Upgrade customer service that I didn't qualify for a {$400.00} bonus, that my bonus offer was {$100.00} after I spent {$500.00} on the line of credit. They went on to tell me that the {$400.00} offer was through XXXX XXXX, and I should go to them with any further questions. 

I tried to contact XXXX XXXX that day through their online help form, and got no response. 

Today, XXXX, I looked at all the pages on Upgrade 's website, and found the {$400.00} signup offer- it was for a card, connected to a checking account, just like I originally tried to sign up for. I tried again to contact the bank and asked if they could correct my account, since I applied for one financial product, and received another. 

They told me that they couldn't make any changes, and that XXXX XXXX was responsible for the error, since I clicked a link through their website. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX through online chat, and was told, in essence, that they had nothing to do with affiliate links and couldn't correct anything on their end. 

I called Upgrade and closed out all the accounts. 

Aside from infuriation, wasted time, and a hard inquiry on my credit report ( that was advertised on XXXX XXXX as a soft inquiry only ), I haven't been harmed. However, I wanted to make a report, because it seems unlikely to me that a financial institution would advertise a product with a high financial incentive and then " accidentally '' give customers a high interest ( 21.96 % ) line of credit instead. I believe that Upgrade, XXXX XXXX, or both, may be involved in a bait-and-switch scheme, and if I had really needed a loan and drawn on it right away, I would have been stuck, as I'm sure many people have been by this offer.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I recently received a copy of my credit report, and I notice there is an unauthorized credit inquiry made by ALLY FINANCIAL on XX/XX/2022. To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the company in question to view my credit report. The listed inquiry was without authorization, and for no legitimate business purposes. As such, it is a very serious error in reporting. I never authorized such action, and this constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as well as a violation of my rights to privacy. I am requesting your credit bureau to initiate an investigation and to determine responsible parties in this unauthorized credit inquiry. As part of your investigation, please send the names, business addresses, and phone numbers of those who made unauthorized credit inquiries so I may contact them directly. In addition, I respectfully request a copy of any documents authorizing credit inquiry, and signed by myself, so that I may verify its validity. If you find that I was not the one who authorized this inquiry, I ask that it be removed immediately from my credit file. Please be so kind as to forward me documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiry removed. If you find that I am in error, then please send me proof of this. Finally, I am requesting an updated copy of my credit report, which should be sent to the address listed above. According to the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1681j, there should be no charge for this report.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
During our mortgage loan modification process, our loan was sold from XXXX XXXX to XXXX in XXXX of 2022. Mr. Cooper took five months to book our mortgage and give us online access to make payments. Funds were misappropriated, and one of our payments was lost or misapplied. Blatent and evident proof has been made of all payments for the past 13 months. Proof of payments on highlighted mortgage statements, cashed check copies, and supporting bank statements have been communicated multiple times in the last seven months to fix the error with no resolution. 
We have been receiving harassing phone calls every month about late payments when all payments have been made on time. Multiple representatives made many empty promises, with phone calls rarely being returned. Shoddy customer care and regard.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I filed CFPB complaint XXXX XXXX against Equifax concerning unauthorized Hard Inquiries listed on my Equifax consumer report. 

Equifax is in violation of 12 U.S.C. 5534 ( b ) ( c ) ( 1 ) because they did not adequately respond to my CFPB portal complaint. Equifax also violated the FCRA Section 607 ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) by failure to use reasonable procedures to ensure maximum accuracy. Equifax was also required by the FCRA to conduct its own independent investigation. 

The disputed Hard Inquiries that lack Permissible Purpose as defined per U.S. Code 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. Section 604 of the FCRA. The use of only an ACDV form is not sufficient as per the above sited laws. On XXXX XXXX, The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ruled that CRAs can not only use ACDV forms to verify consumer disputes. The Court stated that ACDV forms are not deemed as a reasonable investigation as a matter of law. 

In Equifaxs response to my CFPB Portal Complaint Equifax plainly states that they merely send consumer disputes to data furnishers for investigation ( ACDV FORM ). Equifax then engages in XXXX, a practice of blindly adopting the response of a data furnisher without conducting any independent investigation. This is a FCRA violation. 

These violations are undeniable proof that XXXX is engaging in fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices by violating the FCRA, FACTA, and The Comprehensive Consumer Credit Reporting Reform Act of XXXX. 


Please DELETE these unauthorized Hard Inquiries due to FCRA violations.
