Complaint narrative:
Formal Complaint Deceptive Sales Practices & Unlawful Charges ( XXXX Contract # XXXX ) I am filing a formal complaint regarding deceptive sales practices, lack of disclosure, and improper billing in connection with my XXXX XXXX XXXX contract ( # XXXX ). 
and their sales representative XXXX XXXX ( License # XXXX ) who visited my home and convinced me to try XXXX security system for 30 days and I can cancel anytime upon approval. Vivint sales representative initiated a hard credit inquiry on my account without my knowledge or consent and proceeded to apply for a {$3800.00} line of credit in my name with a company called " XXXX ''. This was done by sending me a hyperlink under the false pretense that it was solely to verify my eligibility for a promotional offer. In reality, the link was a credit application used to finance XXXX equipment. The sales representative then pressured me into electronically signing the contract without providing a reasonable opportunity to review, understand, or seek clarification on its terms. I was given no itemized price list at installation, despite repeated requests. The list was provided XXXX days after contract execution following multiple calls and extended hold times. 
Upon review, I found material overcharges and misrepresentations : XXXX Starter Kit advertised at {$790.00} was billed at {$1700.00}. 
Charges for a XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$390.00} ) and Smoke Detector ( {$100.00} ), both already included in the kit. 
Installation fee of {$390.00}, despite being advertised as free in writing and on XXXX website.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I was the victim of a bait and switch scam perpetuated by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I reserved a subcompact vehicle. Without notice, XXXX switched the vehicle to an SUV without telling me and I was immediately bit by a spider in the vehicle and was unable to drive or travel and had to get medical treatment. XXXX agreed to extend the XXXX  rental one day for free. However, they decided to bill me for an SUV instead of a subcompact vehicle without telling me. XXXX  contract requires all changes to be in writing. When I attempted to dispute charges with my credit card companies ( XXXX and XXXX XXXX ), neither company provided a XXXX accessible way to report fraud for individuals with XXXX  XXXX. The customer service agents would not put the information I wanted in the dispute nor let me write the dispute myself. Therefore the correct information was not added to the dispute. When the companies were informed of me XXXX  XXXX they refused to provide a non verbal way to file a dispute. They refused to include all information I provided or read everything I sent in. They refused to ask for a recorded call with XXXX  in which they promised to provide a refund. They allowed XXXX  to bill me for a car I didn't reserve and couldn't use because XXXX  injured me in the vehicle.
