Company: Credit Karma, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I went to credit karma to check my score, and was directed to a personal loan page. Recently updated, credit karma has been telling me for awhile that I could get a personal loan to help with debt consolidation. My debts are unchanged over the last few months, I have maxed out credit cards and can't get ahead due to 29 % APR. So one of the offers they presented was through XXXX XXXX, XXXX at 23.99 % APR. I wasn't going to apply because I didn't think I'd get approved, due to my high debts, which credit karma has an updated report on. However, Credit Karma stated this loan had a " Karma Guarantee '', they said I would definitely get approved for this loan, and if I didn't, they'd send me {$50.00} gift card. I gave it a shot, got declined, never heard from them. Never received an email. I should have known, because I tried this before with credit karma last year, and never received any {$50.00} when I got declined then. I've checked through all emails, nothing. I'm filling this report out now to escalate because I just found out this apparently is common, and multiple people are reporting credit karma is lying and not making good on their " Guarantee ''. Hopefully this report does something. People shouldn't be lied to and scammed out of credit inquiries and such.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint concerning inquiries on my credit report that I neither recognized nor consented to. These unauthorized inquiries are not only concerning but also damaging to my financial reputation.

I want to emphasize that I have no association with these inquiries and have never authorized any entity to access my credit information in this manner.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I have been a loyal customer of Regions Bank in XXXX, TN, for the past 20 years. Recently, the bank withdrew {$72000.00} from my account without my permission or prior notice. As a XXXX XXXX XXXX  I rely on these funds to pay my employees and meet my SBA payment obligations. This unexpected withdrawal has put me in a dire financial situation, jeopardizing my ability to run my business. 

I consider this action to be lender fraud, as there was no communication from the bank regarding the withdrawal of these funds. I urgently request that Regions Bank return the {$72000.00} to my account immediately, as my payroll is due, and failure to pay it will result in default.

Instead of supporting small businesses, Regions Bank 's actions are causing significant harm. I am concerned that this may be a targeted action againsXXXX XXXX businesses. I would like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to investigate this matter and file damages against the lender. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent issue. 

Best regards,

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I lost my credit card and filed an unrecognized transaction on my account. I have previously lost my card and I was never held responsible for fraudulent charges. Capital One is refusing to provide my purchase adjustment because they are using the results from a previous investigation, which was found in the my favor, to decide the outcome of this investigation. It is unfair and against their fraud policy to deny claims because of past investigations that were filed and closed in favor of the buyer.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute and file a complaint with DISCOVER BANK regarding inaccuracies on my credit report, which I believe violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ). My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my date of birth is XX/XX/year>. My current address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IL XXXX. The related FTC report number for this dispute are XXXX, XXXX. Upon reviewing my credit file, I have identified several entries that appear to be inaccurate, duplicative, or fraudulent, with no evidence of authorization or approval by me. These entries do not correspond to any legitimate transactions, accounts, or activities that I have initiated and may be the result of fraud. As such, I assert that these inaccuracies violate my rights under the FCRA and FACTA, which provide me the ability to dispute inaccurate information and require you to investigate and correct or remove any unverified or erroneous entries.

I believe these inaccuracies violate multiple sections of the FCRA, including Section 1681e ( b ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate information. The disputed entries on my report either appear duplicated or contain no legitimate transactions authorized by me. In addition, Section 1681i of the FCRA requires that credit agencies conduct a thorough investigation of disputed items within 30 days ; however, this has not occurred. If the disputed information can not be verified, it must be removed or corrected. Furthermore, under FCRA Section 1681c, outdated negative information must be removed if it exceeds the seven-year retention period, and I believe some entries on my report may be in violation of this rule. In compliance with FACTA, I am entitled to receive documentation proving the accuracy of these entries, yet I have not received such evidence. Therefore, I formally request that DISCOVER BANK conduct a thorough investigation of these disputed items and, if they can not be verified, remove them from my credit report immediately. If these issues are not resolved in a timely manner, I will pursue further legal action to protect my rights under both federal and state law.

However, my Chime XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and Secured Deposit Account were closed on XX/XX/2024, as communicated by Chime.

AccounXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Dear collection agent, I took a look at my credit report and saw a collection from you reporting on my credit. I am unaware of this debt and why it's even on my credit report. So therefore as allowed under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am requesting that you allow me to validate the alleged debt. I am aware based on what you are reporting that there is a debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX, but I am unaware of the amount due since there is no breakdown of any fees. Additionally, I am allowed under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ) to protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I do not recall giving permission to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXor them to release my medical information to a third party. I am aware that the HIPAA does allow for limited information about me but anything more is to only be revealed with the patient 's authorization. Therefore my request is twofold-validation of debt and HIPAA authorization XXXX Please provide a breakdown of fees including any collection costs and medical charges. Provide a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my medical information to you. Cease any credit bureau reporting until the debt has been validated by me. Please send this information to my address listed above and accept this letter, sent certified mail, as my formal debt validation request, which I am allowed under the FDCPA. Please note that withholding the information you received from any medical provider in an attempt to be HIPAA compliant can be a violation of the FDCPA because you will be deceiving me after my written request. I request full documentation of what you received from the provider of service in connection with this alleged debt. Additionally, any reporting of this debt to the credit bureaus prior to allowing me to validate it may be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which can allow me to seek damages from a collection agent. I will await your reply with the above requested proof. Upon receiving it, I will correspond back by certified mail, Letter to collection to remove debt
