Company: CLGF Holdco 1, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was approved for a Destinay credit card around XX/XX/XXXX, to date I have yet to receive the credit card. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX spoke with numerous representatives who informed me the credit card was delayed but could not tell me why. I checked my credit report and Destiny had already reported a balance of XXXX due. I also received the 1st billing statment showing an annual fee due of {$75.00} by XX/XX/2023. I asked the customer service representative to waive the {$75.00} fee because I do not have the credit card. She agreed to pnly waive {$10.00}. This is an embarrassment, why report a new trade line to a consumers credit report before they are in receipt or have activated the credit card. I have called and called and called just to be given the run around. This company needs to be investigated. I have seen numerous complaints abouth Destiny approving consumers for credit cards and failing to ship them out in a timely manner. WHAT A SHAME as I am a new customer with Destiny.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Midland Credit Management began calling me in XXXX of this year ( XXXX ). I originally stated my " cease and desist '' spiel, telling them not to call this number, to take me off of their auto-dialer and not to contact me again. I then add the number they called from to my cell phone 's Blocked Numbers list. Despite this, Midland is continuing to harass me with weekly phone calls from ever-changing phone numbers. They are demanding payment for two old credit card debt accounts that were written off/charged off by the original creditor in XXXX. Neither of the accounts are still showing on my credit reports as the statute of limitations has passed. I have verified with all three Credit Bureaus these accounts are no longer listed. I have asked Midland to stop calling me. I have written a letter to them asking them to cease and desist contacting me. They call from different phone numbers, which is harassments. Every time they call, I add the number to my blocked list in my phone. At present I have over 30 different numbers for Midland blocked in my phone.
