Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I took out a {$3000.00} personal loan from Upgrade.

Meanwhile, Upgrade retracted the sale of my debt but I was not notified, so I continued paying XXXX.

I have called Upgrade many times, they say that XXXX hasn't sent them the money and that there is nothing that they can do.

I have called XXXX and they say that they sent payment to Upgrade and that there is nothing else they can do.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I did not give PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES LLC the permission to furnish information on my consumer report non consent is identity theft. 15 USC 6802 prohibits disclosure of nonpublic personal information without the knowing and expressed consent of the consumer. As a financial institution they are not to disclose non public personal information to a third party unless such financial institution clearly & conspicuously discloses to the consumer in writing or electronic form or other form permitted by the regulation prescribed under section 6804 of this title that such information may be disclosed. I did not receive any of the 3 disclosures I just mentioned, which Ive discovered is against consumer law and a direct violation. 

PORTFOLIO RECOVERY and XXXX denied any inaccuracies but after further investigation I can confirm they are reporting incomplete and inaccurate information on my consumer report which is a another violation under the FCRA 15 USC 1681.

USC 1681b states that consumer agencies can only furnish something in accordance with the written instruction of the consumer to whom it relates. I did not give PORTFOLIO RECOVERY permission which is another violation.

TILA 15 USC 1601 protects me as a consumer against inaccurate & unfair credit billing. As a consumer, I never signed an agreement to enter into a credit transaction with PORTFOLIO RECOVERY yet they have reported that I opened an account on two different dates because my consumer report is incorrectly showing two different dates violating me even further. 

My complaint is also with XXXX who is allowing PORTFOLIO RECOVERY to report inaccurate information on my consumer report which is a violation under the FCRA 15 USC 1681.

USC 1681b states that consumer agencies can only furnish something in accordance with the written instruction of the consumer to whom it relates. I did not give XXXX permission which is another violation on their behalf. Not only did I not give permission to furnish this information on my consumer report, the information is also incorrect which is a violation under 15 USC 1681b for those two violations under FCRA I am seeking {$2000.00} from XXXX.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In the summer of XXXX I received a late night message that my Experian credit rating had went down. Upon checking my credit report the following morning I found a collection on my Experian credit report from a company named " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' that I owe them a " Balance {$1000.00} '' Balance with a " Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX '' and having unexplained " Account number '' of " XXXX '' opened in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I opened no such account and made no such arrangements of any kind. I've now been given the run around for the past four years and the credit reporting agencies will not appropriately investigate and provide the details of me having opened an account or made payment arrangements. It would appear the collection stems from an account they have no records for which is far beyond the statute of limitations for collections. I have since sent letters to all three major credit reporting agencies which included the following statement : Please adhere to the attached Consumer Financial Protection Bureau CFPB order to XXXX XXXX XXXX in the following document - https : //files.consumerfinance.gov/XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the file include : Account type - Debt Buyer Seller : XXXX XXXX Acquired On : XX/XX/XXXX Account Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX ( I opened no accounts at all that year ) Status - Collection account. {$1000.00} past due as of XX/XX/XXXX.
