Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was contacted by someone from " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' or " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' depending on who you speak to. They claimed it was regarding an old payday loan. I don't recall the loan, assume it was paid, and if not it would have been discharged in XXXX and it's past the collectable date. They were rude, refused to answer any questions, attempted to get me to pay right away and used foul language. 

Later that day they called both my wife and my parents with fraudulent information about different accounts and even provided names and amounts for some of the alleged accounts. This place is a complete scam and needs to be stopped. This is affecting my personal relationships, my ability to work as I fear they may contact my employer. These scammers need to be stopped.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I added {$400.00} to my venmo account in an attempt to pay rent. After sending {$200.00} to my landlord my account suddenly got frozen and I was no longer able to access the funds. I got an email shortly after stating that my ID needed to be verified with no further information about why my money was not going to be released. I emailed support twice asking for assistance and both times I was met with a representative who stated that they could do nothing about this and that I must wait XXXX days. Im now reaching out to you because I dont know how Im going to be able to pay my rent. I dont think theyre going to unfreeze my account or release my money. I need help and I dont know where to turn. I looked online and found multiple other stories of people who had similar amounts of money held by Venmo in addition to stories about even more money being held. This feels like a scam and Im afraid Ill never get my money back let alone in time to stay off the streets.

Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and California Laws Dear XXXX, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), the California Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act ( CCCRAA ) under California Civil Code Section 1785.20.5, and identity fraud laws, specifically California Penal Code Section 530.5. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that XXXX has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, California state law, specifically California Civil Code Section 1785.20.5 of the XXXX, emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Furthermore, California XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX underscores the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, which is classified as identity theft under California law. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for XXXX to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that XXXX immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and California Civil Code Section 1785.20.5 of the CCCRAA. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity theft laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA, California state law, and identity theft laws. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that XXXX will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.
