Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. A couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: ACIMA CREDIT, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I entered into a lease-to-own agreement with XXXX XXXX for a mattress with a cash price of about {$1300.00}. My contract listed an Early Purchase Option of {$1300.00}, which expired XX/XX/year>. I have already paid nearly {$1200.00} toward the balance. 

When I recently contacted XXXX XXXX about paying off the lease, I was told that my payoff balance is now over {$1700.00} significantly higher than the original cash price. I was not clearly informed that missing the Early Purchase Option deadline would cause such a large increase in the payoff amount.

I would like to point out that on the agreement of the lease, I never saw those papers, or signed anything with that. I dont ever sign my name how it was typed on there. 

On Saturday, I visited the store to speak with XXXX, the Acima representative, and was told his district manager or himself would get back to me with options by Monday. It is now Wednesday, and I have received no response. This delay, combined with the unclear and inflated payoff amount, feels deceptive and unfair. 

I am requesting : A clear written explanation of how my payoff balance is being calculated.

A fair resolution that allows me to purchase the mattress at or near the original cash price instead of paying hundreds above retail.
