Company: Sequium Asset Solutions, LLC
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
A couple of months ago I received correspondence from Sequium Asset Solutions regarding a debt that doesn't belong to me. I sent Sequium Asset Solutions a sworn affidavit via mail validating and supporting my claim. Currently, Sequium Asset Solutions continues to violate the FDCPA and FCRA laws by reporting and violating HIPPA regulation laws regarding the collection of Medical Debt and attempting to collect on debt for fraud victims. This clearly has caused and financial burden by causing premature credit denials.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have a complaint # XXXX that was closed, however the issue has not yet fully been resolved. I was dealing with XXXX and she was helpful, but needed to follow-up after XX/XX/23 to finalize issue of interest fee charges. She called after business hours, as they always do and I repeatedly told them they must call during hours of operation so we can address this business account properly. I tried to call the main number back to leave a message for XXXX and was told they have no way to get message to upper management who is working with me. 

-I never received last months bill in the mail and never got a response as to why. They continue to not send invoices, then charge us interest and late fees. Can't rely on online statement because when I access my account online, it shows double billings- have not gotten a return call to address this issue. 
-Just printed out my last months bill and found more interest charges that need to be resolved. 

This is a continuation of the first complaint and need an upper mgmt person to contact me at XXXX.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: GUARANTEED RATE INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
During the first time applying for a mortgage with Guaranteed Rate back in XXXX of 2022  a credit run was authorized by me to check my credit report. XXXX XXXX was the broker at the time that was processing the loan from Guaranteed Rate. I was told by running the first inquiry will be affected but not afterwards, since it was applying for a home loan ( same company ). And, any inquiries there afterwards from Guaranteed Rate would not affect my credit report, ( it should only be soft pulls until loan approved and to close on the house ). How many times should a loan company pull your credit report as a hard inquiriy while in the midst of purchasing a home? I have over 8 hard inquiries on all 3 Credit Bureau from Guaranteed Rate. I can understand 2 hard inquiries if was needed, which could be from first applying for the loan and when closing. This broker felt the need to continue to run a credit inquiry on me ( same company ). XXXX XXXX states because of previous dispute I had on my credit report, the disputes needed to be removed. But does getting your disputes removed is required by hard inquiries or to run hard inquiries? This has really affected me greatly with getting approved for credit. I have been denied for credit and credit line increased ( I wasn't before purchasinga home ) because of too many hard inquiries. And, this was right after I purchased a home in XXXX XXXXn which I started having difficulty with thr broker XXXX XXXX then ( excuses ). Also, my loan has been already been sold to another lender XXXX before my first house payment in XX/XX/2022. I asked for help from the broker himself, XXXX XXXX about the hard inquiries, but XXXX XXXX stated this is what needed to be done by him/company due to the disputes I had on my credit report ( to get removed ). I need this to be resolved. Also, I have called and reached out to all 3 of the Credit Bureau asking for assistance with the hard inquiries and the reporting agencies states they are not able to remove thr hard inquiries and they will stay on my credit report for 2 years, which is harming me, my livelihood, especially after purchasing a newly built home.
