Issue: Charged upfront or unexpected fees — 
Company: NATIONAL DEBT RELIEF LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I calculated the fees incurred from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, totaling {$1700.00}. This figure excludes advancements, but includes fees for payments from my XXXX account, legal fees for the XXXX account, and the larger settlement fees requested for managing the debt. 
b. For the period of XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, the calculated fees amount to {$630.00}, also excluding advancements. 
c. From XX/XX/XXXX to the current date of XX/XX/XXXX, the fees total {$450.00}, again not including advancements. 
d. I have XXXX remaining payments to creditors totaling {$130.00} and an outstanding fee of {$100.00}. 
e. Therefore, the cumulative fees charged to my account from sections a-c amount to {$2800.00}. 

Total amount signed debt is on contract is {$12000.00} The web says {$14000.00}. Here in XXXX  state where I live 15 % in all fees including all XXXX parties fees this in my contract i signed. I also was charged {$240.00} in additional fees because they took their settlement fees out knowing when my payments where do to creditors and the fees include and it would sometimes put me without enough in the account so they would automatically give me an advance which is not stated in the contract and i was not contacted before this happened so I could have the change to fix it. Instead they just did it and I had to pay them back. Bringing the total listed FEES to {$3000.00}. 
I than asked what I owe to finish this out, Which i could see by d above the payments listed. I was told its an estimated {$1000.00} to pay off. I am not having them settle the last account due the amount of issues I have had. If they did it would put them further in to fees.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute with Goldman Sachs Apple Card for {$1400.00} on XX/XX/year> for an Airbnb booking that I was unable to stay at for multiple reasons, exacerbated by the hosts poor communication style and lack of information provided about the space until I arrived.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " rrting of any. 
information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as informaeasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified. 
15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purpoy report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the repotises. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on mon that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than XXXX business days after the date of receipt. 

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
