Company: Bliksum, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I took out a loan from a company called " Loan me '' in XXXX of 2015 of the amount of {$2500.00}. I received a phone call from my sister that someone named XXXX contacted to verify who I am and where I live, she also contacted several other people in my family and job to get in touch with me. When I called XXXX she told me that she works for a company called " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' in good faith I gave her my account information because I know I took out this loan and set up a payment arrangement with her which was going to be {$400.00} a month over the course of 2 years with no interest ; however, when I looked up this company there is no information of its existence. I asked XXXX to send me a letter to confirm that she works here and I got an address which was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX and phone number is XXXX. When I look up this address it is showing that it is a XXXX XXXX. She threatened to take me to court and sue me for the {$4800.00} and guaranteed me that I would loose in court. After I hung up the phone with her something did n't seem right. I started to do my research and contacted Loan me to see where my debt had gone and they told me that it got sold to " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and that they ca n't give me anymore information not even a number to contact them and that I had to look it up. After looking up the company XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am still not able to find any information on it. All I would like to do is find out where my debt went and see how I can settle this because none of these companies that are calling me or non- existent. I went ahead and cancelled my debit card and reported it to my bank but now I am back at step one.

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is on US Bank for failing to correct credit bureau reporting. I have been a customer in good standing with US Bank for at least ten years but have rarely used my card in the last few years. XXXX XXXX has had a history of charging my card without my knowledge after new vehicle purchase. It seems like the dealer might be providing my credit card information without my consent. This occurred in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXXand both instances were disputed and the charged amounts were refunded by XXXX XXXX. As a result of these fraudulent charges, my credit card went 60 days late as I was not aware of the charges and I do not use the card. The credit card company agreed the charges were fraudulent and reversed both late payments and the interest charged. However, they have not corrected the late reporting to the credit bureau.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX.XXXX.2017 I initiated a dispute with Equifax concerning incorrect information within my credit file. After their investigation, they correctly removed two of the three disputed items. The remaining disputed item was being reported incorrectly. It was a state tax lien that has been paid. Equifax was not showing it as paid as the other credit reporting bureaus were. This item was not corrected.
On XXXX.XXXX.2017 I initiated a dispute with Equifax concerning the tax lien that was still not reporting as paid. I did at this time also include additional information concerning the removal of incorrect information and agreement that all XXXX credit reporting agencies mad with the National Consumer Assistance Plan. This plan states that liens without proper identification, social security numbers, consumers ' names and addresses, dates of birth or other federally mandated identification can not be included within a consumers credit report starting XXXX XXXX, 2017. All XXXX bureaus signed onto this agreement. This tax lien is being reported by a 3rd party, and not Equifax themselves. Equifax has not verified any information themselves, which they are required to due now. At the least, this lien is paid. At the most, this lien should be removed from my credit report. The other XXXX reporting agencies have removed it in accordance with the agreement between the National Consumer Assistance Plan and trhemselves.

Company: LoanCare, LLC

Complaint narrative:
On three separate occasions I have requested documents from my servicer through email. I have requested all original documents pertaining to my loan with my signature on it. Each time that I have requested the documents they acknowledged receipt of the request, but they have not followed up on the request at all. I do have email confirmation of the request and the receipt of the request. The first request was made on XXXX XXXX, 2017 and they acknowledged receipt on the same day. On XXXX XXXX, 2017 they responded and basically said send my loan number, as if they could n't get it from my email address. I sent my loan number back that same day, and have yet to hear from them regarding this issue. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent another request and told them they had 30 days to comply or tell me they need more time in which they had 60 days. Now here it is the XXXX of XXXX, 2017 and they have yet to respond. PLEASE HELP

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
The company charges a {$39.00} late fee. My monthly payment before the late fee is {$170.00}. When they add the late fee, on their website my account shows a minimum payment due of {$210.00}. I was late making my XX/XX/XXXX payment. I made a payment of {$210.00} on XXXX XXXX, 2017. I was late making my XX/XX/XXXX payment. I made a payment of {$210.00} on XXXX XXXX, 2017. My account now shows a balance due of {$78.00} for XX/XX/XXXX. I called the company today XX/XX/XXXX and was told that they do n't apply my payment to the late fee until after my next payment is made. Well that is not acceptable and apparently not true. If that were the case, they would have applied my {$39.00} payment for the late fee charged in XX/XX/XXXX when they posted my payment for XX/XX/XXXX. This is not the first time I 've had billing issues with this company and I 'm sick of it. If I make my payments per my loan agreement and pay my late charges, my account should be brought current.

Complaint narrative:
Brinks sent me a debit card with my name and a CVC code on back. The paper attached also had an account number and routing number, and it said to call to activate it. I called once, but was unable to reach a live representative. I also tried to email them at their customer service email, but the it was 'not delivered/returned a few days later ', so I tried another email they had listed on their site, and had no luck with that. I want to know why the card was sent, as I did not order one. I am concerned because I can not reach anyone, and want to know what is going on ( i.e. If my identity has been stolen, etc ).
