Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I had XXXX  work done to my house in XX/XX/year> through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I applied for the financing they offered through Service Financial Company, LLC. I signed the documents on XXXX XX/XX/year> and they performed the work over the next couple of days. 

Around XX/XX/XXXX I closed on my mortgage refinance and part of the refinance, Rocket Mortgage provided me a check to pay off the loan I took out with Service Finance. I attempted to contact Service Finance to get information on mailing the check to pay off the loan. I was told that XXXX XXXX did not submit the certificate of completion and they could not accept payment. I contacted XXXX XXXX and spoke with the office manager over several days as they were reporting that they submitted everything and that they had been paid. I recently got a new phone and do not have the exact dates of the phone calls, but I can get the dates from my call logs from XXXX XXXX XXXX  if necessary. 
I received an email notification on XX/XX/XXXX that the certificate of completion had been received and they were ready to start billing. I called them and asked to mail the check to pay the loan in full. Again I was told I had to wait to receive a mailed welcome letter and they could not accept the payment. I received the Welcome Letter near the end of XXXX. I called again and was told the same thing, except this time I had to wait to receive the billing statement. I received the billing statement and mailed the check with the payment slip around the beginning of XXXX. I paid the entire balance shown on the statement. 
XX/XX/XXXX I receive a statement from Service Finance for {$150.00} for principal and interest. I called to dispute this as I had been attempting to pay this loan off since XXXX. I was told by the representative that I owe interest because it accrued when they sent the welcome letter. I expressed that this isnt right because I had been trying to pay this and they refused to take my payment. I was then told that well this isnt how we do things and you owe interest. I told them I didnt feel this was right because they declined to take my payment for almost 2 months and it seems like it was on purpose for interest to accrue. I dont feel that this is right when I held a check and attempted to pay this loan off multiple times and the company declined. I should not owe interest because they purposely declined my attempts to pay in order to accrue interest that I was not expecting.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: RentDebt Automated Collections, LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
If you believe you sent proper notification, please provide 'Certified Mail ' with receipt displaying my signature. If not, please delete account as soon as possible from my report or i will have to take legal action. The company stated in a previous response that they arent the owner of this debt and they shouldnt be reporting any of this information on my report because it isnt their debt. This is illegal and they have violated my rights. I submitted a written dispute to said creditor regarding an account that is inaccurate and/or unverifiable. Under 15 USC 1681i, I have the legal right to a full reinvestigation. The company failed to properly investigate and continues to report inaccurate information. Additionally, they are in violation of : - 1681s-2 for reporting false or unverified data, - 1681e ( b ) for failing to ensure maximum possible accuracy, - 1681c for reporting obsolete/outdated information. I demand that this account be immediately removed as it violates multiple federal laws. I request that the CFPB step in and force compliance with the FCRA. Failure to resolve this issue constitutes willful noncompliance under federal law.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.
