Complaint narrative:
MB FIN SVCS XXXX My name is XXXX XXXX and i am not a third party. This company never sent me my bill for XX/XX/2020. It was my first bill with this auto loan ever. The creditor never sent me a bill so how was I suppose to know I was supose to be making a payment? Under the FCRA if the creditor doesn't provide all documentary evidence as defined under 15 usc 44 this will result in a billing error. I asked the creditor to show proof that I received the statement and they did not provide it. They are full of XXXX and forfeit all rights to collect the payment due on that bill and can not give me a late payment on the account unless they provide the documentary evidence. If it's a billing error then the enitre amount will not be able to be collected on.

Complaint narrative:
Congress has established laws to combat aggressive collection methods and practices. But, the credit agencies XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion are ignoring the laws that I am providing today. 1692 ( a ), ( b ), ( c ), and ( d ) ( a ) Abusive practices There is abundant evidence of the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by many debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies, marital instability, the loss of jobs, and to invasions of individual privacy. 
( b ) Inadequacy of laws Existing laws and procedures for redressing these injuries are inadequate to protect consumers. 
( c ) Available non-abusive collection method This means other than misrepresentation or other abusive debt collection practices are available for the effective collection of debts. 
( d ) Interstate commerce Abusive debt collection practices are carried on to a substantial extent in interstate commerce and through means and instrumentalities of such commerce. Even where abusive debt collection practices are purely intrastate in character, they nevertheless directly affect interstate commerce

Complaint narrative:
Midland Credit Management, I see like all the rest of those who do what you do that you don't do your homework, the letter you sent me will not be accepted nor will we act on as we previously requested from XXXX a copy of the bill of sale which by law I am entitled to receive but to date have not. 
I know you just randomly purchase debt without even knowing the background of the debt in question, and as I mentioned earlier that I had requested a copy of the bill of sale but also a copy of the letter which by law I was supposed to receive indicating that they were going to sell this debt, to date I have not, only a letter of the fact after the sale occurred. 
It looks like arrogance seems to get in the way for people who think they are above the law. 
The best way to get sued is to attempt to collect this after I have given you the details of the facts, I suffer from XXXX and any pressure from anyone will be handled by my attorney including any damage done to me by you either financially or physically byway of mental pressure.

On XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I made a {$500.00} dollar deposit in person at the Bank of America at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and I have the receipt that shows the deposit and balance. Well, one day later the deposit completely disappeared from my account and doesn't show that I made the deposit and also doesn't show that I withdrew {$500.00} dollars. Banks are not opened around this time so I'm concerned about the safety of my earnings. I'm not sure what happened to my money that I deposited. What I'm going to do next is go back to bank where I made my deposit and talk to someone in person about getting my money back in my account.

Complaint narrative:
I was about to make a purchase via XXXX for {$4.00} each for XXXX face cream products. After I read that I would be automatically billed monthly for {$79.00} I IMMEDIATELY closed the window, closed XXXX, and did NOT complete the transaction. Later I see XXXX charges from this company for {$120.00} and {$120.00}. I called PNC and they canceled my debit card, filed a fraud claim, and refunded my money. Then they reversed their decision and paid the criminals, taking the money out of my account again. I called again XX/XX/2022 and spoke with a supervisor who said not to worry, that I did not authorize the purchase, I never received any product, I filed fraud immediately when it happened, and notified my bank. My money was once again returned to my account from PNC, and I thought it was all taken care of. Come XX/XX/2022 PNC once again reversed their decision and took MY MONEY out of my checking and paid the criminals for stealing my money. I noticed the reversal and called thr bank on XXXX XXXX weekend and told I could leave a msg with the fraud dept. A supervisor did call me back, told me she would look into this nonsense and told me that she had seen a lot of fraud like this claiming people had actually made a purchase when they in fact never hit the final purchase button. This PNC fraud supervisor told me its a click bait, that they record my keys so even when i backed out and never made the final purchase button that they STOLE my financial info and illegally made a purchase stealing my money! She went on to say that in my case they could not reach the company by phone as it was fake, they had a bogus website, and did not reply to their inquiries. When I called approximately XXXX XXXX I was told that the time to file a claim had passed. Ah no it hasn't, this is the SAME FRAUD CLAIM, not a new claim! I want these crooks punished and stopped from robbing poor people like me!
