Date Received: 2024-01-02

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX informed me that they would in fact remove a 31 day late payment status as long as I disputed with each of the credit bureaus. They informed me they would do so in good faith. Now, since I have disputed at least 20 times total, they are going back on their promise, and are refusing to help me. I have gone to such lengths to write handwritten letters and reach out to their executive team members on XXXX. I received some poor blanketed statement back from them informing me they do not update any information and I am essentially XXXX. I do not accept that response. If XXXX wouldn't have led me on a wild goose chase for 5 months now, I would have given up. I expect XXXX to remove the negative mark as they said they would. They are definitely able to do so, but are being extremely difficult for no reason, when they are the ones that informed me, they would fix it. I want this issue fixed! It is beyond wrong to tell someone you would fix it and refuse to do so. They claim they sent me letters and emails- why do I not have any of these things? It seems like XXXX would want to assist a customer that has been with them for many years. Clearly, they do not care about their customers.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to address several critical discrepancies and concerns regarding financial transactions with XXXX XXXX XXXX, identified through an extensive review of relevant legal statutes and financial practices. The outlined issues require immediate attention and resolution : Misrepresentation and Legal Compliance : Discrepancies observed in contractual language referencing the Treaty of Paris of 1783 and the classification of Americans as " citizens. '' Lack of clarity regarding the compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( GAAP ) and International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ). Financial Transparency and Reporting : Inadequate disclosure of disaggregated revenue by customer type pursuant to IFRS 15.114 and 115. Absence of detailed information in contract liabilities, remaining performance obligations, and unrecognized revenue, as mandated by IFRS 15.120 ( b ). Ambiguities in Contractual Clauses : Unilateral clauses and ambiguous terms such as " LATE CHARGE, '' " DEFAULT, '' " REPOSSESSION, '' and " YOUR RIGHT TO REDEEM '' demand clearer definition and explanation. Securitization Practices and Alleged Violations : Allegations pointing to potential conflicts between securitization practices and adherence to US bankruptcy laws. Accusations of fraudulent securitization practices and purported violations of federal statutes. Legal Matters and Procedural Concerns : Concerns raised regarding unauthorized signature use, creation of trusts without consent, and suspected manipulation of financial records. Lack of transparency leading to potential misinterpretation and misrepresentation in financial agreements. Request for Equitable Relief : Urgent request for suitable remedies, including subrogation or equitable relief, to rectify perceived discrepancies and injustices. Moreover, the following legal references and specific concerns warrant immediate attention : Procedural or Remedial Law : Implications and importance of the Alien Tort Statute ( ATS ) and Alien Tort Claims Act ( ATCA ), along with concerns about Sale Proceeds Transparency. Borrowers ' Rights and Legal Recourse : Rights of borrowers to ensure accuracy of credit bureau information post-repossession and redemption rights provided in certain states. Identified Violations and Offenses : Violations encompassing the Glass-Steagall Act, Offenses related to fraud, Phantom Fees, Falsified Income or Asset Information, Misleading Loan Terms, Identity Theft, Coercion or Undue Pressure. Specific Legal Acts and Their Implications : References to crucial legal acts including the Alien Tort Statute, Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and 16 CFR Part 433. I earnestly request a comprehensive investigation into these legal concerns and financial discrepancies, adhering strictly to applicable laws and regulations. Timely resolution and provision of requisite documentation are imperative.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I have suffered identity theft and power of attorney fraud by the following companies. Pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 2001 ruled and emphasized that for a creditor to rely on a consumer 's consent, it must be informed and voluntary. Mere inclusion of a consent provision in a contract does not automatically establish informed and voluntary consent. The nancial institution must demonstrate that the consumer explicitly provided consent, indicating their understanding and agreement to have information reported to credit bureaus. Pursuanbt to FCRA 605b and 15 USC 1681 c-2 i demand the acount be removed and blocked from my reporting or you may be held liable for noncompliance pursuant to 15 USC 1681o and 15 USC 1681n

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: I filed a complaint in XXXX about misreporting to my credit. I have never been late. XXXX simply copy and pasted their complaint findings from the prior complaint and never addressed the fact that I have a 30 day late for XXXX. They also didn't address that I discussed this with an agent in XXXX and that agent from their company stated that the 30 day late would be removed. It is still on my credit.
