Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Hello! So long time ago I registered at Equifax, and I even forgot about that.That id why, I haven't informed them about my address changed. When my XXXX XXXX  app started new service - showing credit score with three companies, I was shocked how low credit score I had with XXXX. I went on their website, I checked my report- it was stated I had a debt collection with XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX which never happened. I must notice, that it was on my old address, wich I wasn't living over half a year already. I rase a dispute with XXXX, but they said, information is correct. I contacted Anglian water and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX they both confirmed, they NEVER had any debt collection on MY name, on any adress. XXXX XXXX even send me a letter on my request, confirming that. I gave all that to XXXX - again they are stating that information is correct. I believe, this company is very unprofessional, and they requested information for the Address, without even checking the name, and they aren't able even to fix in their system, that I wasn't living there already over a year. So they are ruining my credit score and financial reputation and are helpless in this case. I must also say, I have a good credit score with other companies and my bank - this definitely proves, that XXXX is in wrong but they refuse to fix it. I'm already very stressed about that, and I spent to much time already trying to fix it. Help, please! Thank you!

Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I posted a payment on XX/XX/year>, in advance of the XX/XX/year> due date. Bridgecrest ( the lender ) then advanced my due date. They still conducted the XX/XX/year> auto-draft. They are refusing a refund without a bank statement, which won't be generated for another month. This is causing me a financial hardship. I also believe it's a violation of CFPB payment policies, as a reasonable consumer would expect the regular payment not to draft if a payment had already been made and the due date advanced.

Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Missouri Laws Dear SELFINC/LEAD, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and Missouri state laws pertaining to identity theft and consumer protection.

It has unequivocally come to my attention that SELFINC/LEAD has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law provides protection against identity theft and unauthorized use of personal information, including the misuse of credit reporting data. Missouris Identity Theft Law ( RSMo 570.223 )
criminalizes the unauthorized use of personal identifying information, and failure to comply with such protections may also be considered a violation of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act ( RSMo 407 ), which addresses unfair and deceptive business practices.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for SELFINC/LEAD to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and a clear disregard for both federal and state laws. 

I demand that SELFINC/LEAD immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouris Identity Theft Law. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable federal and state laws, including Missouris statutes on identity theft and consumer fraud.

Obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that SELFINC/LEAD will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Complaint narrative:
" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft.

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.
