State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am currently rewriting my complaint with EQUIFAX concerning inaccuracies in the information on my accounts. Despite sending a letter requesting an investigation into the mentioned accounts, the process took over 30 days to complete. EQUIFAX claims to have finished the investigation, but upon reviewing my recent report, I observed no changes. They assert that the information is verified, but discrepancies in the date of last activity, date opened, date of last report, payment history, and status suggest otherwise. This situation seems unjust. I am aware of my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A, which guarantees my right to privacy, and 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2, stipulating that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I have attached my FTC with the report number XXXX for this complaint.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/24 I began receiving texts about a Chime account. I do not have a Chime account, did not open one and am not familiar with who Chime is. One text message said the email address on " my account '' had been changed to XXXX. I then started receiving emails. I thought this was all spam. On XX/XX/24 I received an email saying a Chime Debit card was in the mail. I then called Chime to inquire if this was true. They verified with my phone number, email address, and date of birth that an account had been created. I refused to give my SSN. The woman I spoke to, XXXX, confirmed she had closed the account and flagged it as fraudulent. I am still submitting this complaint as their account opening controls need improvement. Account opening authorizations should require more due diligence. It should not be this easy to have a stranger open an account in my name and request a debit card be mailed to them. I also am concerned that the account is not really closed. This is sales practices misconduct, UDAAP impact, and customer harm. Reference number from account closure is XXXX. I can provide the email confirmation I received of the account closure if needed.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX : Dispute of Inaccuracies in Credit Report Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the inaccuracies present on my credit report, which have been reported by CONN APPLIANCES , INC . Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified several violations of federal laws in the handling of my account, as outlined below : Violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) : The collection agency has failed to provide validation information as required by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ). Despite numerous requests, I have not received sufficient documentation to validate the debt they claim I owe. This failure to provide validation directly infringes upon my rights under federal law.

Violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( I ) : I have not been afforded the opportunity to dispute the account in accordance with 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( I ). The collection agency has neglected to provide me with a proper channel through which I can challenge the accuracy of the reported information, thereby denying me my statutory right to dispute the account.

Violation of Consumer Rights : The collection agency has engaged in false, misleading, and deceptive practices in their handling of my account. These actions violate my consumer rights and undermine the integrity of the credit reporting process. It is imperative that such unethical practices be addressed to ensure fair treatment of consumers.

Violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S ( 27 ) ( A ) : Furthermore, the collection agency has furnished information to consumer reporting agencies without providing the necessary disclosures mandated by law. This blatant disregard for federal regulations outlined in 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S ( 27 ) ( A ) constitutes a clear violation of my rights as a consumer.

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau conduct a thorough investigation into these violations and take appropriate measures to rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report. Additionally, I urge you to enforce penalties against CONN APPLIANCES , INC. for failing to comply with federal laws and disregarding consumer rights. 



Thank you for your prompt attention to this dispute. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Merchants' Credit Guide Company
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, Iowa XXXX Formal Complaint Against [ Merchant Credit Guide ] To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against [ Merchant Credit Guide ] for their unlawful and unethical debt collection practices, which have violated several provisions of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regulations and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite numerous attempts to resolve this matter amicably, [ Merchant Credit Guide ] has persistently ignored my rights as a consumer and engaged in deceitful and misleading behavior. 
First and foremost, [ Merchant Credit Guide ] has failed to provide proper validation information as required by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) and 15 USC 1681-S 2 ( 7 ) ( A ). I have repeatedly requested validation of the alleged debt, including any purchase agreement or forward flow agreement, but have received no satisfactory response. Without such documentation, I am unable to verify the legitimacy of the debt being pursued. 
Moreover, [ Merchant Credit Guide ] has engaged in false, misleading, and deceptive practices, as outlined in 15 USC 1681-S 2 ( 7 ) ( A ). Their actions have not only damaged my financial standing but have also caused significant defamation of my character. Despite my repeated requests for clarification and dispute of the debt, [ Merchant Credit Guide ] has failed to provide me with the opportunity to challenge the validity of the alleged debt, as required by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). 
Furthermore, I would like to emphasize that I do not have any contractual agreement with [ Merchant Credit Guide ] that would justify their pursuit of this debt. As such, their continued efforts to collect without providing proper validation information are both unlawful and unwarranted. Additionally, [ Merchant Credit Guide ] has unlawfully furnished information about this disputed account to consumer reporting agencies without providing the necessary disclosures, further violating federal law. 
Considering the above violations, I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to thoroughly investigate [ Merchant Credit Guide ] 's actions and take appropriate enforcement action. I request that [ Merchant Credit Guide ] be held accountable for their unlawful debt collection practices and that all negative information related to this disputed debt be promptly removed from my credit report. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the CFPB will take swift and decisive action to ensure that consumers are protected from abusive debt collection practices. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

This repossession has been conducted without any prior notice to me, violating my consumer rights as outlined by the laws of the State of New Jersey. 

The lack of notification regarding the repossession is not only a breach of contract but also a violation of the fair practices expected in such matters. As a consumer, I have the right to be informed and provided with reasonable notice before any repossession action is taken. However, this fundamental right has been disregarded in this case. 

I am formally objecting to this repossession and would like to bring to your attention the mandatory arbitration clause present in the contract. As per the terms of our agreement, any disputes or disagreements are to be resolved through arbitration. Therefore, I intend to exercise my right to arbitration in order to address this matter. 

I expect prompt communication from your end regarding the resolution of this issue through arbitration. Please provide me with the necessary details and procedures to initiate the arbitration process at your earliest convenience. 

I trust that we can resolve this matter amicably and in accordance with the laws and contractual agreements in place. I look forward to your prompt response.
