Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Repossession — Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Company: LOBEL FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Payment arrangements were made and agreed to. This company received the payment the same day before the deadline ( as agreed on a recorded line ) but had already taken the car ( with the repo rescinded ). I go out to drive to the office because my calls are being ignored and the car is gone. Two payments went through that day. A payment was returned, the car was kept and later it is appeaes on my credit shortly after I apply for services online. It keeps resurfacing creating a derogatory credit report and should be removed.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I made a payment of {$65.00} to my credit card for the XX/XX/XXXX due date. I was charged a {$40.00} fee for nonpayment on the bill due on XX/XX/XXXX. ( XX/XX/XXXX I ended up getting XXXX and was sick until the middle of XXXX ). I called the company when I finally got well and disputed the {$40.00} charge for the nonpayment of the XXXX bill. I was told that I owed {$3.00} and was charged a {$40.00} fee. I asked them to waive the fee, but they refused. I closed the account. The card was a prepaid card. I had a {$600.00} balance. In order to get the card, I had to pay a {$500.00} deposit to cover my credit limit. When I closed the account, they only applied {$390.00} of the {$500.00} deposit to my account. I was charged an additional {$40.00} late fee and {$15.00} in interest fees. I am disputing these charges and the missing {$100.00} in the security deposit. I am also disputing the {$260.00} remaining balance on the card. The balance should be {$68.00}.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On Sunday XX/XX/2023 I went to sleep with {$260.00} in my account and woke up to {$12.00} and a text saying my XX/XX/XXXX transaction was updated to {$260.00}. Well, what??! I already paid for that transaction, back on XX/XX/XXXX, have receipts proving that and have never been made aware of any problem with it up until cash app took it on themselves to reach their hand in and take the amount again. Upon some investigating, I see the transaction has been billed not once, not twice but three times, to which they blamed on an internal error saying its been refunded each time and kept saying the amount was double of what I paid and insisting the original charge was for {$530.00}, which now of course it looks completely different just stating there's no problem with the transaction that was " processed in accordance to the payment received and no error occurred so my dispute was denied '', Which is great, glad they finally realized that but then why don't I have my money back they took from me? Once on XX/XX/XXXX and then again on XX/XX/XXXX totaling their {$530.00}? Because {$790.00} was charged to and paid for by me without a word being spoken, an apology given or a refund received. All the photos supporting this will be attached.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have reached out to Experian multiple times about the situation. The customer service rep is rude and unhelpful. I made several disputes regarding my credit report. My sisters information is reporting on my credit report. I have disputed it with Experian. Each time they finished the dispute and still reported my sisters information on my credit report. I attempted to resolve this with Experian numerous of times, with online disputes and reported disputes with their customer service phone representatives. Experian is not doing an adequate job of reporting the correct information and removing my sisters information from my credit report. My sister and I have no accounts together and there is no reason why her personal information should be on my credit report. This is a invasion of privacy and Experian has broadcasted my sisters private personal information. Currently my sisters credit card is still reporting on my credit report and my personal credit card information with XXXX XXXX was removed off my credit report and reported on my sisters credit repot. Below are issues that I experienced with Experian. 

Information belongs to someone Information is missing that should be on the report ( missing credit card ) Personal information incorrect ( Ssn, address, name ) I would like my credit information to be updated to report accurate information.
