Company: Golden Entropy Marketing Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for a loan of {$300.00} on that website, I thought it looked like a legit website. After I sent in my application with all my personal information, I began to receive a lot of emails, regarding loans. The emails I was receiving looked secpicious. I then researched how to tell if a loaning website is legit or not, and noticed some of the answers I saw applied to the website I used and the emails I received. Like the emails I got I tried to look up the address, that was at the bottom of the email, on maps app, and XXXX, and the address was not valid. Also like said on my XXXX search, the website told me it didn't require a credit check, and saying my credit score wouldn't matter, if it was good or not. I did not reach out to the company I applied for the loan on. I do not know 100 %, if the website is a scam or not, but the emails I received right after I sent in my application were very suspicious.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "
