Consumer complaint received 2020-06-20 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
This XXXX XXXX loan for {$500.00} fell behind after job loss. This company used the XXXX XXXX app, and requires a subscription service to access these {$500.00} loans that can be repaid and taken out repeatedly. The service advertises that the membership can essentially pay for itself by having you deposit money into an investment account. 

Due to job loss, I was no longer able to pay for their membership and unable to access the details of my account. After some time, the company sent me a notification around XXXX of XXXX that funds from my investment account were used as a payment for the loan. From then on to XX/XX/XXXX, I had received no correspondence by email or physical mail to my address regarding this account. 

As such, I filed a dispute with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX   with regards to this account because it had not reported any payment history since XXXX of XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX in response to my dispute, XXXX reported 13 consecutive missed payments to my report, all but 3 reported as 120 days late. Some payments are egregiously reported as 120 days late such as XXXX and XXXX of XXXX, even though 120 days has yet to pass from those time periods. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX was paid {$230.00}, the remaining balance on the loan upon discovering the payment history update to my reports. I explained to a representative the situation that I received no notifications or notices regarding the status of this account until this very dispute and I was directed to a form for them to perform an investigation. I had asked for adjustment to the report due to the unfair and egregious reporting. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX 's team responded back via email with an aggressively worded response, stating that no adjustments will be made and that they " will not respond to further request that is substantially the same as the previous request ( s ) submitted by you or on your behalf ''. 

I fully acknowledge that my financial situation at the time did not allow me to make payments as agreed. However, once my account had fallen behind, the company made no attempt contact with me for over a year to address my account after my investment account had paid for it. To report no information on my reports in that entire time frame until a dispute was filed feels incredibly aggressive and egregious considering the circumstances.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I sent Midland Credit a letter asking for information on this debt along with a signature showing this debt to be mine. I explained that this debt I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX and filled an insurance claim for the loss of my job. I asked them why they have it when XXXX XXXX was supposed to have been getting the minimum payment dues. 

They could not explain that and then told me to contact XXXX  XXXX which I have tried to do to ask why my insurance has not been paying the minimum bill and keep getting sent back to midland. 

So while talking to a manager at midland she pretty much asked me why I was a piece of XXXX and didn't pay the bill and why I didn't feel bad not paying my debts then told me it didn't matter why I lost a job I should work anywhere to pay it. I tried explaining I had a loss of income and couldn't pay it she then told me that they would be reporting this showing negative and it would ruin my credit to get rental housing or credit with any company until I did. 

I have requested documents showing the insurance was not paying the balances, I have requested in writing from XXXX XXXX a reason for my insurance not making minimum payments and keep being told to deal with midland credit that they can answer it. 

Midland says I owe XXXX but 1 phone conversation with XXXX XXXX told me that midland purchased this debt for {$100.00} and should not be asking for {$910.00}. I then requested all documents of purchase and who sold the debt including who at XXXX XXXX they contact with this debt and only receive the bills which I believe are wrong.

Complaint narrative:
I recently received a letter from Experian and XXXX XXXX for the third time asking me to contact the credit grantors to discuss this matter of me being a victim of identity theft and these fraudulent accounts not belonging to me. I'm filing a complaint because I previously sent the original credit grantors and collectors letters letting them know that I was a victim of identity theft. But yet Experian has deleted many accounts but yet they still have a bankruptcy to a address that I never lived at.
