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.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CLGF Holdco 1, LLC
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
As I was looking over my transactions, I noticed that I was being charged fees after my due date, causing a balance, which created more fees for them to charge me. For example, my due date is the XXXX of every month, I pay off my entire balance, they will then charge me a monthly fee, which will then create a balance and then they will charge me a credit protection fee based off of that balance. And I have noticed that the credit protection fee is not consistent. They stated in a recorded phone call per the agent that the fee is a dollar and some change based off of every {$100.00} balance on the card. The fees are not consistent with the balances on the card each month. When I stated that I was gon na have this looked into. They restricted me from my account. This happened today, XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  I made the phone call at XXXX XXXX  this morning. I attempted to login to get more accurate information at XXXX XXXX  and this is all in central time and my account is restricted and they told me to call a number. I did stay on the phone as well that there is some predatory things going on, which Im sure prompted them to lock me out of my account. I had a {$110.00} balance on my account which I scheduled a payment for today and have proof of so now I have no access to both my account and my card.

Good day. I can not emphasize enough how distressing and overwhelming this situation has been. I recently discovered a debt being reported under my name that is completely unverified and not mine. Since then, I have been subjected to repeated harassment through multiple communication channels, using various aggressive tactics including threats of legal action. This is unacceptable and deeply insulting to me as a law-abiding consumer whose rights have been blatantly violated. The emotional and mental strain from this experience has been severe, leading to significant stress and sleepless nights.
