Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint against [ name of credit reporting agency ] for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which is codified at 15 USC 1681 et seq. Specifically, I believe that the credit reporting agency has engaged in actions that are in violation of sections of the FCRA, including but not limited to : Section 604, which outlines the permissible purposes for which a credit report may be obtained. 
Section 611, which requires credit reporting agencies to provide consumers with a free copy of their credit report once every 12 months upon request.

Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), which requires credit reporting agencies to promptly correct or delete inaccurate or incomplete information in a consumer 's credit report.

Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ), which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information in a consumer 's credit report. 
Additionally, I want to bring to your attention that the following addresses are non-mailable addresses and should be removed from my credit report immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, MI XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MI XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX MI XXXX I have not authorized any person or entity to request or obtain a credit report for these addresses. Therefore, any information related to these addresses is a violation of the FCRA. 

As a result of these violations, I have suffered damages, which may include but are not limited to : [ describe the specific harm you have suffered, such as lost job opportunities, denial of credit, etc. ]. I am therefore seeking monetary relief for each violation of the FCRA, including actual damages, statutory damages, and, if applicable, punitive damages.

I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with the credit reporting agency, but have been unable to do so. I am therefore requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that the credit reporting agency complies with the FCRA, removes the non-mailable addresses from my credit report, and obtains written consent from me before releasing any credit report information for any future addresses.

I have attached documentation supporting my complaint, including copies of my credit reports and any other relevant correspondence with the credit reporting agency. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: TMX Finance LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against TitleMax, a title pawn company operating in Georgia, for violating state and federal laws related to title pawn transactions. Specifically, I have discovered that someone other than the title pawn issuer, XXXX XXXX, has signed the written agreement for my title pawn transaction, on XX/XX/2022, with TitleMax ( parent company TMX, LLC ), which is a violation of Georgia law ( O.C.G.A. 44-14-410 ). 

This discovery has raised concerns that the transaction may be invalid and unenforceable, which could put me at risk of losing my collateral or facing other legal consequences. Despite my attempts to resolve this issue with TitleMax, they have refused to address my concerns or take any corrective action. I believe this is because TitleMax knew or should have known, prior to XX/XX/2022 that XXXX XXXX did not possess the required license to issue title pawns, without the supervision of a licensed broker. 

As a consumer, I believe that I have a right to fair and transparent financial services, and I am disappointed that TitleMax has failed to meet these basic standards. I am also concerned that other consumers may be similarly affected by TitleMax 's illegal and unethical practices. 

Therefore, I request that the Consumer Financial Protection investigate TitleMax 's business practices and take appropriate enforcement action, including imposing fines and penalties and requiring TitleMax to provide monetary restitution.
