Complaint narrative:
I am a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX veteran. Upon my return home from XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX however, my card was being paid. I have been a cardholder of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, and again on XX/XX/XXXX two category 5 storms ( XXXX and XXXX ) devasted the XXXX and XXXX XXXX. The town I live in XXXX was devastated. The post office was totally demolished ( these are facts that can be proven. We were without any kind of communication until late XXXX. I made contact with the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX loan department and I was told that my card would be deferred until XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I went online to make a payment and my account was suspended for nonpayment. I made several calls and sent several emails trying to get information as to why I could not access my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I finally spoke to an agent by the name of XXXX XXXX she was very rude ). All she could tell me was that correspondence was sent to me ( we had no post office until XX/XX/XXXX ). I tried to explain to her that although they sent correspondence there was no way I would have received it because we did not have a post office in my town. Our supplies came through a shipping company and although my post office merged with a post office in another town it was still very chaotic. I started payroll deduction ( I worked for the Federal Government ) and I was receiving numerous calls day and night from a collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX. The collection agency called me also at my place of work. I reported it to them to no avail. They ignored my emails and were very uncooperative. Fast forward to today, I checked my credit report and it shows my card was paid in full and still showing in collection. 
I am asking you to please help me fix this issue. I am a XXXX XXXX veteran who is trying to buy a home in XXXX because I am planning to move from the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I served this country during peace and wartime and now I am being treated like I am bothering them. Thank you for your help.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a car on XX/XX/23. The price of the car was {$20000.00}. 

Problems : Of the number stated above, XXXX was for wheel locks, pinstripes, and door guards none of which were installed in the car On XX/XX/23, I agreed and signed with the salesman, XXXX XXXX, a breakdown of total costs being in the high $ XXXX. Paid a partial downpayment of XXXX 

I had to come in the next day, on XX/XX/23, to finish financing because the day I initially visited the dealership was a holiday, and therefore could not contact my bank. Paid another partial downpayment of XXXX, so the total downpayment was XXXX. I worked with XXXX XXXX from the finance office. She said the loan would be for over $ XXXX ( this already includes the deduction of my downpayment, therefore the total purchase was $ XXXX or $ XXXX higher than what I signed with the salesman, XXXX XXXX ). I asked to remove all of the add-ons, but she said she could not remove them otherwise, I would not be approved for a loan, even though I have a credit score of XXXX. But, she said I could cancel ALL of the add-ons within 30 days and receive a full refund to the principal of the loan. I asked her multiple times if I could get my money back, and she LIED multiple times and stated I could receive my money back for ALL of the add-ons and that I could not deny them or I would not receive financing. Therefore, I signed the under false pretenses due to the lies of XXXXXXXX XXXX  finance office. She said she would give me information on how to cancel the add-ons but never sent it. So, the next day, on XX/XX/23, I contacted the dealership to cancel the add-ons and spoke with XXXX XXXX on how to cancel. XXXX gave me their website page and told me she would get XXXX to contact me. So, I took the initiative to contact XXXX one of the companies for the add-ons. The representative from XXXX told me that not all of the add-ons on refundable, She said that XXXX add-ons with them are NOT refundable and XXXX MAY not be fully refundable. She said they had not yet received the contracts and that I could contact the dealership and VOID these contracts under false pretenses due to the lies from the employee before they would be sent to XXXX. I have tried multiple times to contact the finance department and XXXX XXXX but have not been able to reach anyone. 

There are discrepancies between the itemized list from the dealership and the contracts to XXXX. The dealer charged me more than the asking amount from XXXX, perhaps in a scam attempt to pocket the additional money. 

There was also an additional N/A charge of XXXX that was unexplained, perhaps in another scam attempt to pocket additional money. 

XXXX is way higher than the value of the car.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against [ Credit Reporting Agency Name ] concerning multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically regarding adverse accounts that have been closed, the reporting of late payments, and the reporting of charged-off accounts.

Details of the Complaint : 1. Reporting Adverse Accounts That Have Been Closed : XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion has continued to report adverse accounts on my credit report that have already been closed. This practice is in direct violation of the FCRA, which mandates that adverse accounts that have been closed should not be reported on a consumer 's credit report. This incorrect reporting misrepresents my financial history and negatively impacts my creditworthiness. 
2. Reporting of Late Payments : I have discovered that XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion has reported late payments on my credit report, which is a clear violation of 15 USC 1666B. The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. The reporting of late payments when no such late payments occurred is a significant breach of this requirement. 
3. Reporting of Charged-Off Accounts : XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion has reported charged-off accounts on my credit report. According to the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ), charged-off accounts are considered income, and they should not be reported as outstanding debts on a consumer 's credit report. This practice misrepresents my financial status and creates an inaccurate reflection of my creditworthiness. 
I have attempted to resolve these issues with XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion directly, but my efforts have been unsuccessful in rectifying these violations. I am turning to the CFPB to seek assistance in resolving these matters and to ensure that my rights as a consumer under the FCRA are protected and upheld. 
I kindly request that the CFPB investigates these violations and takes appropriate action to address and rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report. I also ask that XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion be held accountable for its failure to comply with federal regulations and its impact on my creditworthiness. 
Enclosed with this letter are copies of my credit reports reflecting the inaccurate information, as well as any related documentation that supports my complaint. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your assistance in resolving these violations.
