Product: Debt collection — Payday loan debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Upstart Holdings, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The account the was closed on XX/XX/2022. The amount was {$1900.00}. The debt was charged off and sold to a third-party debt collector. I am still getting repetitive calls every couple of hours. The debt has been cancelled. According to the law, I am no longer liable to pay the loan back once it has been sold to a third party with whom I have no contract. My information was also sold to that debt collection agency without my expressed and or written consent. Per the FCRA, as a federally protected consumer, I am now opting out of any and all authorization, I, the consumer may have given, written, unwritten, verbal, and nonverbal, per 15 USC 6802.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Account opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Fraudulent accounts were opened using identity theft. One at Ally Bank and the other at XXXX XXXX XXXX I received a notification because the identify thief used my email address for the account. 

I called both banks where the accounts were opened. In both cases they refused to close the account and stated they would " restrict the account ''. 

They refused to provide me with details with exactly how a restricted account was secure or more secure than a closed account, refused to close the account because " I didn't open the account so I was not a customer of theirs, '' refused to provide me with a timeline of when the account would be closed. 

They only stated that they needed to conduct an investigation before any action would be done. When I asked for an estimated timeline for the investigation to be concluded they refused to answer. When I asked if I would be updated on the status of the account, they refuse " because I was not a customer. '' They claimed to " secure and restrict '' the account, but when I challenged them on the fact that they could not even secure the account from being fraudulently opened, how could they ensure restrictions of further fraud such as the opening of another account? Ally hung up on me without answering the question, XXXX XXXX XXXX refused to answer the question. 

My issue is these online banks are a hot bed for virtual identity theft to transition to actual theft. It is already alarming to deal with chasing down these fraudulent accounts and double checking if any money was stolen, but to then be denied the closure of a potential risk of future fraud perpetuates the nightmare to a daily basis of constant calls and monitoring. These online banks already seem to have less security in terms of opening and verifying an account than a traditional bank. Refusing to close a fraudulent account only exacerbates the issue.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I'm writing to you today because the bureaus ' rejection of my identity theft claim has left me feeling incredibly frustrated and distressed, and it has been growing steadily. I have followed all of your bureau 's instructions, so I find myself in a confusing scenario where my valid claim is denied. 

This terrifying identity theft experience I've had has been nothing less than a nightmare. I have carefully followed your instructions to the letter in every action I have taken, document I have provided, and report I have filed with law enforcement. 

I'm quite upset as well as frustrated by this unfair rejection. It is impossible to overestimate the toll this experience has had on my emotional stability and financial security. The idea that I am encountering such opposition after carefully following your instructions is depressing and frustrating. 

I implore you to acknowledge the seriousness of my circumstances and the consequences of delaying action. As a consumer and identity theft victim, my rights are being flagrantly disregarded, leaving me feeling helpless and voiceless. 

DPT EDXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

I demand that my identity theft allegation be given the fast attention and thorough investigation it deserves by your agency. My patience has run out, and I'm at my breaking point. I'm determined to see that this is accurately and quickly resolved. 

I anticipate receiving a formal acknowledgment of my dispute letter and a prompt commitment to fully investigate my identity theft allegation. I'm beyond frustrated and distressed, but I'm not going to give up on finding justice and a solution.

Complaint narrative:
I had a XXXX XXXX promotional balance transfer thats coming due on XX/XX/XXXX on my chase Freedom XXXX. I was offered a loan for XXXX XXXX with payments through XXXX. I made a large payment to wipe out the promotional balance before it ended but they applied it all to the loan. I called and asked them to adjust it but they apply anything over the minimum payment to whatever has the highest interest at the time. I dont think they should offer loans on cards that have promotional balances then because it essentially precluded me from paying off that balance and now the rate will be over XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and frustration with the multiple unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my credit file. Despite numerous communications and submissions of supporting documentation, the fraudulent entries persist on my credit report, adversely affecting my financial standing and causing considerable distress. 

I have made numerous efforts to rectify this situation, including submitting identity theft affidavits, police reports, and other supporting documentation to verify the inaccuracies in my credit report. However, despite my best efforts, the fraudulent items remain unresolved. 

The persistence of these inaccuracies has had a significant impact on my ability to secure credit, obtain favorable interest rates, and negatively influenced my overall financial well-being. I am deeply concerned about the potential long-term consequences if this matter is not promptly and effectively addressed. 

I kindly request that you thoroughly investigate and promptly resolve the issues outlined above. I expect a detailed response within the exact timeframe acknowledging the receipt of this complaint and providing a clear plan of action to rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report. 

If the necessary steps are not taken to address this matter promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint to regulatory authorities and seek legal advice to protect my rights.

Complaint narrative:
In a follow up to my previous complaints, today I noticed my mohela account finally showed I was placed on the SAVE repayment plan. However, the payment amount, XXXX, is the payment for the LEVEL repayment plan. My most recent IDR application on XX/XX/2023 stated my SAVE repayment amount is about {$180.00} dollars.

I called customer support and the first agent was unable to answer why the discrepancy.

1 ). Why is my account showing the level repayment ammount while I'm in SAVE? 2 ). How is is possible that the SAVE repayment ammojnt is only {$13.00} less than the LEVEL amount? No one can answer the questions. This is umnaceptable.
