PAYMENTS MADE TO DATE : INSTORE_PAYMENT {$400.00} XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX CREDITCARD_PAYMENT {$170.00} XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX CREDITCARD_PAYMENT {$170.00} XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX CREDITCARD_PAYMENT {$170.00} XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX CREDITCARD_PAYMENT {$170.00} XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX CREDITCARD_PAYMENT {$170.00} XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX CREDITCARD_PAYMENT {$170.00} XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX CREDITCARD_PAYMENT {$170.00} XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX CREDITCARD_PAYMENT {$190.00} XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX LATE_FEE {$15.00} XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX LEASE TERM AND OPTIONS. You promise to make lease payments for a XXXX Term. Payments made under this lease will be applied first to any fees or other charges due to XXXX and then to lease amounts due. No late charges will be applied to your account where the only delinquent amounts are a result of prior applied but unpaid late fees. After the initial term, you have 3 options : ( 1 ) Purchase the Property by exercising your purchase option, ( 2 ) continue the lease on a month-to-month basis by retaining possession of the Property, in which case additional periodic payment ( s ) must be made in the same frequency and amount as during your initial term, ( 3 ) Terminate this Agreement by returning the Property to us in good condition, fair wear and tear excepted. If you have not purchased the property after XXXX XXXX Periods this lease will terminate and you must a ) return the Property to us, or b ) purchase the Property from us. Continuation : If you continue this Agreement beyond your initial term your next lease payment will be due on XX/XX/XXXX and every 14 Days thereafter for subsequent renewals. No refunds will be issued should you choose to return the Property before any lease period expires. PURCHASING.You may purchase the leased Property upon completion of your initial term and at any time thereafter. The purchase price at particular points in time ( and the formula for calculation at other points in time ) can be calculated in the following manner or by visiting www.whynotleaseit.com. Periodic Depreciation : Divide the cash price of your item ( s ) by 60 ( or, divide by 120 for biweekly payments ). Total Depreciation : Multiply that quotient by the number of periods that you have leased your item ( s ). Residual Value : Subtract that product from your cash price to obtain your depreciated value. Discounted Value : Multiply the depreciated value of your item ( s ) by XXXX to obtain your purchase option price. Example after XXXX periods : Periodic Depreciation : $ XXXX = {$30.00} Total Depreciation : {$30.00} x XXXX = {$150.00} Residual Value : {$1800.00} - {$150.00} = {$1600.00} Discounted Value : {$1600.00} x XXXX = {$1000.00} GoSELECT! - EARLY PURCHASE OPTION. You may terminate your lease before the end of your Initial Term by exercising your Early Purchase Option. In addition to paying the cash value of your leased items, exercising your Early Purchase Option requires you to pay an Early Purchase Option Fee. This amount is calculated as a percentage of the cash value of your leased items. 30 day option : Requires a 5.00 % Early Purchase Option Fee. Once added to the cash value of your leased items, you must pay {$2200.00} ( plus any additional incurred fees ) in total by XX/XX/XXXX to own your leased items. 60 day option : Requires a 8.00 % Early Purchase Option Fee. Once added to the cash value of your leased items, you must pay {$2300.00} ( plus any additional incurred fees ) in total by XX/XX/XXXX to own your leased items. 90 day option : Requires a 10.00 % Early PurchasXXXX Option Fee. Once added to the cash value of your leased items, you must pay {$2300.00} ( plus any additional incurred fees ) in total by XX/XX/XXXX to own your leased items. NOTE : Time is of the Essence for this provision. Your ability to exercise your EARLY PURCHASE OPTION depends on you contacting WhyNotLeaseIt and making your Early Purchase Option payment in a timely manner. If you do not exercise your Early Purchase Option by the required dates your lease continues on your regular lease schedule. EARLY TERMINATION AND DEFAULT.

I am a victim of identity- theft, I am writing to request that you block all accounts disputed as fraudulent on my credit reports with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX. This information does not relate to any transactions I have made. I did not give anyone authorization or consent to use my personal information. I hereby exercise my legal rights enacted by Congress and The Federal Trade Commission, which explicitly states when a victim of identity-theft dispute a fraudulent account on his/her credit report it shall be honored by all credit bureaus and all fraudulent information should be blocked within 4 days and proper notification shall be given to all data furnishers pursuant to section 605b of The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. Failure to comply shall lead to complaints being filed with The Better Business Bureau, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and Attorney General stating your companys unlawful collection practices, misrepresentation of creditworthiness, defamation of character, and noncompliance to abide by laws enacted by Congress to protect victims of identity-theft who's credit been impacted by acts of fraud. Because I know my rights under THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT, CONSUMER CREDIT PROTECTION ACT ( CCPA ), and FAIR and ACCURATE CREDIT TRANSACTION ACT of 2003 ( FACTA ). I will be taking action. I also know my rights under this paragraph of Section 312 of the FACTA LAW : SEC.312. Procedures to enhance the accuracy and integrity of information furnished to consumer reporting agencies. ( b ) duty of furnishers to provide accurate information. -- Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) of THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT ( 15 U.S.C . 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) is amended ( 1 ) in subparagraph ( A ), by striking " knows or consciously avoids knowing the information is inaccurate '' and inserting " knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate '', and ( 2 ) by adding at the end of the following : ( D ) DEFINITION -- For purposes of subparagraph ( A ), the term 'reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate ' means having specific knowledge, other than solely allegations by the consumer, that would cause a reasonable person to have substantial doubts about the accuracy of information.

Therefore, my position is being clearly stated, these accounts do not belong to me, meaning that you are reporting inaccurate account information within my credit file. The fact that these are inaccurate account information means that you, this credit-reporting agency, are reporting incorrect accounts. 1. TEMPOE LLC bal. {$2600.00} I am well aware of my rights as a consumer. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that you, the credit-reporting agency report accurate and/or correct account information within my credit file.

It is this in mind that I request that these listed accounts and items be Blocked and Deleted. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA, Section 1681c ( 2 ) Block of information resulting from identity theft. 1.Block.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CO XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Iowa XXXX Re : Consumer Complaint : Predatory Loan form tempoe To whom it may concern, On XXXX XXXX I took my XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CO XXXX. Initially when my car broke down, I called several locations to obtain an estimate. Upon calling XXXX they stated they could pick up my vehicle from my job and run a diagnostic on it ; which I agreed. After they picked it up XXXX at XXXX informed me I needed my transmission rebuilt and the cost would be anywhere between $ 2400- {$2800.00}. I told him I did not have that type of money and asked if he would be willing to work any type of payment with me. It was then that XXXX informed me of their loan through XXXX. I gave him authorization to run my information and check if I qualified for the loan. XXXX called back and told me I was approved for {$2400.00}. I said Ok, then lets go ahead and get the transmission rebuilt. We went over the monthly payments and he informed me I would need to make a downpayment of {$600.00}, which I did, and then my payments would be {$410.00} a month for 5 months. When going over the contract with XXXX, I reiterated that all I would have to pay is {$600.00} down and {$410.00} a month for 5 months. He confirmed I had understood everything and signed the loan. Additionally, I was told the initial lender was XXXX XXXX and when I contacted XXXX XXXX regarding my payments they told me the actual lender was a company named XXXX and gave me phone number XXXX XXXX to contact them. I called XXXX to confirm the due dates and the date of the payment. They also verified that I had XXXX payments set up at {$410.00}. XXXX has actually been running {$420.00} each month from my card and I never complained. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX and spoke to a XXXX. I called to move my final payment of {$410.00} out 2 weeks due to an unexpected emergency and ensure he would not run the card on file. He begins to tell me I owe them another {$1200.00} for handling my loan and stated it was a leasing option. I asked him what he meant and he stated I would have to buyout the lease from XXXX for my transmission. I clarified with him that none of this information was told to me by XXXX ; which is where I agreed and signed the paperwork at. I feel this is a predatory loan as I was at no time was I ever told by XXXX or other employees at XXXX that I was leasing my transmission repairs or that I had the option to buy my repairs. XXXX stated that information was somewhere in my paperwork and I told XXXX I had clarified with XXXX at XXXX the conditions of the loan and the amounts due and was never told I would be leasing my transmission or that I would have an option to buy. By neglecting to provide me with the information, I feel XXXX was purposely deceptive because had they informed me upfront of the additional {$1200.00} leasing/buy option, I would not have agreed to the loan and I may not have ever fixed the truck as it is not worth the amount spent. XXXX should disclose the leasing option, up front, along with the documentation showing your monthly payments instead of placing the information regarding the lease on a separate page ; that was not shown to me. The only page they go over with the customer, at least myself, was the first page with the monthly payments and total of the loan ; which does not include any leasing fee of {$1200.00}. Nobody tells you about the additional lease/buy option and that is mis-leading. That a very important info for a consumer to know upfront. The first time anyone brought up the leasing fee was XXXX and that was after I called to finalize my last payment. Last, when speaking with XXXX, I specifically made sure he would not run the card number they had on file and asked him to confirm. He guaranteed me that they did not have my permission to run the card and the card would not be run. On XX/XX/XXXX my wife realized XXXX had charged her card, the card XXXX specifically stated he would not run, and my wife had to file a dispute through her bank. I called XXXX that Saturday morning and requested to speak with the manager. I told the representative what it was about, she placed me on hold, then came back stating the Manager was refusing to talk to me. Their practices are extremely deceptive, unfair, and predatory from the beginning to the end. I hope you truly look into their predatory loan practices as I can not be the only person this has happened to and would not want any other person to have to go through this. I look forward to your reply and resolution to my concerns. As a resolution, I am seeking not to have to pay the additional {$1200.00} that was not explained to me, nor did I ever agree upon and my account be considered paid in full. Additionally, they should be required to thoroughly inform consumers there is an additional {$1200.00} leasing fee. Please feel free to contact me at the above address or by phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX. Thank you in advance, XXXX XXXX

XXXX XXXX was affiliated with the transmission place in XXXX XXXX Conn. I do not know the name of the business because it wasn't my debt. My boyfriend at the time needed a transmission put in to his truck. because he bought a truck not knowing had a transmission problem. so he went to the transmission place in XXXX XXXX CT. And spoke about cost of a New transmission and the manager of the business had told him that he could fix and give him a new Transmission for I believe was XXXX. And he had talked him into putting it on a Credited Card approved for exact amount a little over. he said job be like XXXX dollars bit got credit for XXXX and I would have to pay like XXXX down toward it so left balance of like XXXX and then when they paid the credit card place the same day I gave them the money that was not the arrangement the job wasn't even done yet. They had the truck for months and the job wasn't done yet I was paying every week out of my Bank card. And I had paid oflver XXXX from my bank card then they wentand charged my credit card I was approved for I believe more money I did not agree to because they didn't fix the transmission right they had to replace the transmission 3 times. They gave is a rebuilt one not a new one its not what we had agreed to the manager lied and he kept charging our credit card with tempo fraudulently for whatever not approved by me. I didn't even want to even so this I was talked into by the manager. He lied and was out to just scam customer making fraudulent money for the business. job was not satisfactory the amount agreed to was only up to XXXX and I paid XXXX about up front minus off the amount. The job was suppose to be about XXXX to XXXX and the amount of credit on the card was about XXXX max. They paid the charge the card same day was on the XXXX about almost 3 years ago they received their money for the transmission before transmission was even fixed or repaired. they had the vehicle for about 3 months and was in out and not running for about a year. I paid the Tempo aganecy over XXXX. Like probably XXXX. Was not right didn't have the truck in and out manager lied fraudulent on my tempo card and charged us for things we did not agree to the manager was fired guess wasn't his first time other complaints on him yet this affects me in a very huge way because I have lost my job of 22 years of service and I didn't know that they had put a balance of debt on my credit history of XXXX I had just a little bit left that I owed the on my card and About a couple of years ago agreed to pay them the balance I owed them was like XXXX dollars but they wanted like XXXX. Interest because I stopped paying then because I said I did not approve of the extra money I did not authorise them to charge me more money and that they should not of been charged the same day I pad them XXXX. XXXX down they already was sent the money the same day that was not part of the agreement. because they never even started it yet. Had truck over 3 months best of my knowledge yet between them and manager of the transmission place did stuff without my authority. like I said I didn't want any part of it the manager smooth talk everything said that it would be done it was a new transmission and that would not be any more then XXXX. The max. Yet the job was only suppose to be XXXX about and the tempo agency pad them the entire XXXX. And yhe n the transmission charged more after the fact I did not approve. Now I am at XXXX I am paying XXXX time more then I have already paid them. I paid about XXXX down in can to yhe manager and job was suppose to be XXXX about he got extra in case approved for XXXX on card. The tempo agency paid them same day about XXXX I paid about XXXX of payments on my debit card that is like XXXX in payments I put stop in my credit card. and now its on my credit history stating I owe them XXXX about. I never agreed to anything up to XXXX he said it was not going yo be over XXXX yet he got me credit for XXXX about with tempo. and tempo had paid the mteh same day I paid my first payment of XXXX to set up the account. Nothing was suppose to happen until the transmission came in. the work was not even begun yet tempo paid them the entire XXXX about this was not what I had agreed to and if he used my signature fraudulently Then that is what happened I only sign for the XXXX the extra XXXX dollar was in case and the transmission was sent in Over 3 times and never was fixed right and we agreed to new not rebuilt

I would like to bring to your attention something that has just happened to myself and I am sure has happened to others that feel just as exasperated. This complaint is against XXXX and the XXXX/ Why not Lease it. My family and I found ourselves on hard times this past XX/XX/XXXX. Due to our situation - we needed a refridgerator. Looking at prices on various sites - and again due to circumstance- I decided to purchase from XXXX . They were offering a program with low payments and I knew I could pay it off within months when life started to work out. I purchased an 18cf refridgerator. Nothing fancy. Just a plain usable refridgerator. Purchase price XXXX delivery XXXX purchased on XX/XX/2018 I called today to ask how much it would be to pay it in full next week. I was told by the representative that I would need to continue XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payment of XXXX. Total of payments = 5 * {$91.00}. I then could purchase it for an addititonal {$270.00}. The total of purchase of a {$390.00} refridgerator from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX will be {$730.00}. My complaint towards XXXX/ Why not lease it, lies in the total cost of what I had intially believed was a short term ownership agreement. What kind of interest is that? As stated, I am sure I am not the only customer this has happened to. I have tried to speak to XXXX on the matter but their customer service will not speak on the lease purchases. I have made 3 attempts and each time told that they are not trained on the lease option and would have to transfer me to the leasing company they use. One of these calls was to corporate XXXX. I retained their email and phone from the most helpful gentleman on XXXX chat on their appliance website- who also has no knowledge of what leasing terms entail and could not help on that. I continue to contact XXXX due to the web site for sales of their appliances and misconceiving information telling customers to use this option. I have received a reply from coporate that states basically - not their problem. I had then wrote to the Attorney General on the complaint and received a response from the Manager of Regulartory Complaints /Sears Holdings making slanderous remarks on my character. I have spoken to the leasing company who basically doesnt care about any sort of integrity. States that the 2 final leasing payments must be made regardless if I want to end it now. If I want to buy it afterwards then I would need to pay the {$270.00} add on. XXXX placing this leasing option on their site and hiding the specifics of the REAL cost - shows no integrity also. Placing the leasing company on their site portrays that XXXX agrees with this company and stands by them. It inhibits customers to believe it is part of XXXX and should trust the company. XXXX/ Why not lease it -- is a " finance company '' that hides information from the buyer until sale is done. Although afterwards you are given multiple receipts on the " deal '' it is not with full understanding of what you have just signed. The " lease '' in which is " available '' is not completely available until after you make the purchase - and not even the employees you are purchasing from in the stores ( or online ) can explain the terms to you before the sale ( or after ). Before I had even made the purchase I had contacted XXXX/ Why not lease it several times and it was not revealed to me with any of the calls. The hidden cost at the end of your " payments '' becomes a shock. You are not able to pay- as I requested - without finishing the 5 payments first. I would also add that just in the past week ( my 5 payments have been made ) I had then received an email stating that still another payment to make it to 5 to be made. This email / bill was sent by XXXX/ why not lease it. When I contacted them, I, of course was told this must be a mistake and sent inadvertantly. I also am including the lease that shows under my account which states entirely different payment than my receipts. This company is no better than the pay day loans some offer and the repayment for products are hidden in an agreement that is not specified upfront at any time.

As a result of a purchase at XXXX XXXX in XXXX partially financed by XXXX XXXX I received an unsolicited " pre-approved '' credit card from XXXX, which I never activated and to which I never charged any anything. The debt to XXXX arising out of the XXXX XXXX purchase was fully paid and discharged. However, I later received a collection letter ( approximately on XX/XX/XXXX ) from XXXX attempting to collect XXXX related to an debt that I had allegedly originated with Tempoe , Llc. I never incurred such a debt and I disputed the charge. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX stating that their investigation concluded that I did not owe the debt and that all charges were being removed. However, on or about XX/XX/XXXX I received a collection letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX attempting to collect the same debt that was now allegedly owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I also disputed this charge and explained that the charge was the result of stolen identity. On or about XX/XX/XXXX I got another collection letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX attempting to collect the same debt on behalf of the same XXXX XXXX XXXX. I then hired a lawyer who on XX/XX/XXXX sent a letter to XXXX XXXX demanding that all credit collection efforts cease and that such debt be removed from my credit history with the several credit reporting agencies. My lawyer also sent letters to XXXX, XXXX to fix my credit report. Since we received no response from XXXX XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX my lawyer wrote a letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX, the alleged owner of the alleged debt, demanding that all collection efforts be stopped. No response was receive. Later XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) renewed collection efforts on the same alleged debt, but now on behalf of XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX my lawyer then wrote to XXXX making the same cease and desist demand. On XX/XX/XXXX The XXXX XXXX XXXX, a law firm representing XXXX sent a letter to my lawyer as a " confirmation that XXXX ha [ d ] closed and returned the account to the creator ... [ and had ] ... submitted a trade-in deletion request to all relevant credit reporting bureaus ... '' It also stated that the current owner of the alleged debt was XXXX XXXX and that XXXX had provided XXXX XXXX copy of my lawyers XX/XX/XXXX letter outlining the issue. Now, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received another collection letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) demanding I pay the same alleged debt. I don't know on whose behalf XXXX XXXX XXXX is now attempting to collect the alleged debt. My lawyer again has sent a letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX outlining the issue and the history of this illegal collection saga. It is apparent that even though both XXXX and XXXX recognized and acknowledged the fact that I did not owe this debt and stoped their collection efforts, the owners of the alleged debt keep assigning it to someone else who then commences new collection efforts. I do not know whether this is just a glitch in the system or whether it is being done maliciously by the holders of the alleged debt. This matter has already cost me a significant amount of money, on top of the mental anguish it has caused me, in an unsuccessful attempt to stop this outrageous harassment. My lawyer informs me that the only step left to him is an expensive lawsuit against XXXX XXXX XXXX and the current holder of the debt ( unknown to us at this time ), and maybe against XXXX XXXX ( the last holder ) who apparently, even after being informed of the issue, assigned the debt or is still trying to collect it. He can't guarantee me that even after incurring these expenses and obtaining appropriate injunction orders from the court ( and maybe some compensation ) the problem would not continue and further legal steps would be necessary. I need help to stop once and for all this outrageous harassment.

Dear XXXX Representative, The reason for this Fax is to bring to your attention a Fraudulent Account on my credit report originating from XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). XXXX and XXXX added a collections account to my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX from a fraudulent account originating at XXXX, a furniture leasing company and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. When I called XXXX they could not find any accounts under my name XXXX XXXX associated with my social security # ending in XXXX. They did have an account under a the last name XXXX with my social security #. I told them that this was not my last name, but they insisted it was me and they said I purchased a 5 piece furniture set in the State of FL onXX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I asked them for the stores number and they gave me XXXX. I called and it says voice mail not setup. I looked up the number online and it said the store was closed. XXXX : XXXX I than received a call from XXXX, XXXX at XXXX and XXXX XXXX who said he bought the XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX at least 2 yrs ago. XXXX said XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had closed down over 4 years ago. I called XXXX back and asked how a new account could be opened onXX/XX/XXXX if the furniture store closed down 4 years ago. I also asked XXXX how I could have purchased furniture in the State of Florida on XX/XX/XXXX when I live in XXXX XXXX, CA. They proceeded to tell me they could not help me because this account was sent to collections at XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and I should call XXXX. I than called XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and proceeded to tell them the same story and they insisted this was my account and said I took delivery of the furniture and I owed them {$3100.00}. I asked them what the delivery address was and she said the furniture was delivered to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I asked her to repeat the address two more times and she stated all three times XXXX XXXX XXXX. I told the XXXX customer service person this was not my address and she started to get very upset. I told XXXX this was Identity Theft and this was a fraudulent account because the new account started on XXXX was under a false name, XXXX XXXX, at a store thats been closed for 4 yrs and with a false delivery address. XXXX said I needed to send them a police report and Affidavit of Forgery and my drivers license to dispute the account and then hung up on me when I tried to ask more questions. I called the XXXX Sherriff department and Deputy XXXX came and took my statement and issued me a police report stating that Im a victim of Identify Theft Penal code 530.5 ( A ) which is unauthorized use of another person 's personal identifying information. Im asking XXXX to remove this fraudulent collections account from my XXXX XXXX and XXXX credit reports because Im a victim of Identity Theft. Im including the Police report which is 2 pages and the Notarized Affidavit of Forgery which is also 2 pages with this 2 page cover sheet and my Drivers License and Passport Card. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

A company known as WhyNot Leasing also known as Tempoe LLC has made attempts to collect money not owed and processed transactions for items I did not receive. The company attempted and completed charges to my credit card for items not owed nor did I receive or have possession of. WhyNot Leasing also charged my card for amounts not even initially agreed upon in the amounts of {$140.00} and {$20.00} because the agreed to amount was {$280.00}. I initiated a contract in XXXX of XXXX for furniture for my father who has become ill. The first amount was processed that month in the amount of {$280.00} and would be {$280.00} thereafter according to the agreement. My credit card was charged for random amounts such as {$20.00} and {$140.00} which was never agreed to. The furniture order was in XX/XX/XXXX and I was told it would arrive in a few weeks. I was concerned with my father 's health and what would happen if I wanted to cancel the items and was told not to worry because I would be able to cancel the items at anytime and any amounts paid would be refunded in the event he had to have assisted living. My father became gravely ill in XXXX of XXXX and I called the XXXX location to cancel the items which is where I initiated the agreement with WhyNot Leasing and they said it would all be taken care of. I brought my father to the XXXX XXXX Hospital Emergency Room in XX/XX/XXXX and he ultimately passed away in XX/XX/XXXX. However, I was still being charged for the furniture I did not pick up and WhyNot Leasing stated that no one cancelled the order as discussed, but knew that the items were still at the XXXX location. I emailed WhyNot Leasing in XX/XX/XXXX basically reiterating the same conversations I had with the XXXX location and with WhyNot Leasing explaining that these items were cancelled and are still at the XXXX location. Everyone acknowledges that the items are at the XXXX location but still will not process a refund. I had these charges put on my XXXX card thinking that I would have some protection in the event of problems because I was paying for items in advance of receiving them. I contacted XXXX to have these charges reversed because no one is doing anything at WhyNot Leasing or at XXXX about these charges to my credit card. XXXX informed me today that their options are limited and said that the charges will remain on the card. Its like a nightmare because I have to relive the time my father passed away by having to re-explain why I cancelled items for purchases for a loved one that passed away. I am simply requesting a refund for items which is only fair because I never had possession of those items nor did I receive those items. I will attach a copy of the follow up email I sent to WhyNot Leasing back from XX/XX/XXXX which they never responded nor returned any of my calls and an audio recording of them acknowledging that the lease was cancelled but no refund was ever issued.

I was originally contacted over the phone by XXXX XXXX to make arrangements to collect a debt. ( I did not record the date, but it might be over 30 days ago. ) When they told me the amount and what it was supposed to be for I was sure it was n't my debt. They had my SS #, my married name ( though that is no longer my legal name ), a birth day that was close to mine, an email address I 've never used, an address and an employer that were mine, but from the XX/XX/XXXX. The company the lease was from was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but i do n't know if that was a brick and mortar store or something online. XXXX said they did n't know either. The Leasing agency was XXXX out of NH. XXXX is out of CA. I live in Indiana, but not in the city that was used on the paperwork. I have n't lived there for almost 20 years. After explaining all this to a supervisor at XXXX XXXX I was told that I 'd have to dispute the debt and that they 'd send me something that I needed to respond to in 10 days. They did not send me anything in the next couple of weeks, and unfortunately I had not copied down all this info so I did n't know who to contact. Then I received a packet of info from XXXX that seemed to just be a copy of the debt they bought. It said our offices are " in receipt of your dispute '' but be advised we have contacted our client XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who has confirmed the name and address listed on the account as well as the amount owed '' There was a toll free number from XXXX which I called. It was late in the day on Friday after XXXX. I got a very confused sounding man with a foreign accent who said I had to call XXXX instead. ( Though XXXX has sold the debt. ) I called and left a message. Today XXXX called and was very insistent that the debt was mine and I was just trying to shirk my responsibilities. I asked repeatedly to speak to a supervisor but was told it would not do any good because they knew it was me and I needed to stop lying and just pay. That isnt word for word, but is the jist. Eventually they let me speak to someone who acted more reasonable but told me I had to file a police report and send them a copy. I contacted my local police who told me that was n't how it worked and told me to have the XXXX call him. I tried calling back with that information but was put off until later. I do n't know what else I should be doing. Do I need to file reports somewhere else? Do I need to contact credit agencies?

In XXXX XXXX I leased a refridgerator from XXXX. Shortly after I started having problems with the fridge/freezer getting too warm or too cold and ruining much of my foods. After constantly throwing out food I contacted XXXX and they instructed me to call XXXX because i didnt get an extended warranty plan with them, therefore XXXX would have to service my refrigerator. XXXX gave me XXXX phone number and I called relentlessly over the course of a month but no answer, so I called XXXX back and they gave me another number for XXXX which I called for weeks with no answer. I called sears yet again and the manager instructed me to call XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX because there was nothing more they could do for me. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and explained what was going on and i was given yet another number for XXXX which i called faithfully for several weeks and no answer, so I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX again and spoke with another rep. explained the situation and he said i should of reported it within the 1st 30 days ; I explained I report the problem when it occurred. He said if a freezer/fridge is getting to cold or too hot then someone has been in the back of it messing around with the coils or panels. I said that was ridiculous I dont know the first thing about fixing refrigerators and would never attempt to fix it. He said oh no we dont fix merchandise you damaged and i repeated I didnt damage it or go in the back messing around with the fridge. When I was getting the fridge from XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX they told me the refrigerator would be serviced by XXXX for the duration of my lease if something goes wrong. When I desperately needed help I they failed me and I got the run-around from both. A refrigerator is one of the most important appliance in a house to anyone and to be without one yet again and still paying and getting treated as I was when i faithfully fulfilled my end of the agreement as you will see in the documents i will send. I stopped making payments and told the rep they are in breach of contract stopped payment. Now XXXX has closed absolving them of any responsibility. I have given XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX {$1300.00} to date the original cost of the fridge was {$550.00}. Now they are sending collectors after me for {$1000.00} they should bow their head in shame and apologize they truely hurt me. I wasted time grocery shopping, money and only to have it ruin. May they too go out of business as XXXX.

I previously submitted a complaint for what I thought was a debt that was not mine. A {$720.00} amount showed up on my credit as a collection with the orignal lender listed as XXXX XXXX and the collector listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had NO idea what this was. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX responded to my complaint with the documentation showing it was a purchase at XXXX. This cleared everything up for me! YES, I did make a purchase of a {$370.00} tv at XXXX, on what I thought was a take home lay-a-way program which is EXACTLY how it was described to me by the XXXX employee that sold me the tv. The tv was {$370.00}. I was n't going to buy it but the employee suggested their payment plan. He said it was just like lay-a-way, only you got to take the merchandise home, and make payments until it was paid off. The payments were set up for auto pay. That sounded great to me! I gave him the info, signed something on a key pad and left with the tv. The payments started coming out shortly thereafter. Please see attached bank statements showing payments that came out of my account from XXXX through the end of XXXX. The last payment came out on XXXX XXXX. By my calculations, I made {$420.00} in payments automatically. A reasonable person would think that when the payments stopped, the item was paid in full. I WAS NEVER TOLD OTHERWISE. According to the payment agreement that was provided to me by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( which I have attached as well XXXX, there should have been XXXX final payment on XXXX XXXX of {$30.00}. I do not see that payment on my bank statement. I do not see an attempt, or an overdraft fee or ANYTHING. So this whole collection is over a remaining balance of {$30.00}?!!! Are you kidding me?!! PLEASE, I need this looked into. There is no way this can possibly be legal or ok. I was NEVER given a copy of the agreement or any paperwork at all, other than a receipt. My phone number has been the same for 10 years. I did move a mile away but my mail was forwarded. I never received ONE phone call. I never received one thing in the mail telling me I still owed money!! I do not pay things late, I have good credit. I would have never let something so small just go delinquent. I was never given the opportunity to make it right. A full YEAR after I thought this was paid in full, I get hit with a collection!! This is WRONG. It is deceptive. And I fully intend to take it as far as needed to make it right.

The lease agreement terms was for the amount of {$1800.00} I paid {$680.00} at the signing of the lease and have paid a total of {$1200.00} in biweekly payments since XXXX totaling the entire amount paid to be {$1900.00}. More then amount leased I called to buy out of the lease agreement and they told me I'd have to pay another {$680.00} or continue to make payments until XX/XX/XXXX. None of this was explained to me at the time I purchased the stereo equipment. The store ( XXXX XXXX ) was contacted the same day that we purchased the equipment and they told us ( My sons father and myself ) that we needed to contact Tempoe in order to return the merchandise because it was leased through them. I then contacted Tempoe and they said that it had to be returned through XXXX XXXX. My sons father then took the receipt to the store where the manager kept the receipt saying that he'd get back to us on what needed to be done. None of this is equitable to me as a consumer and I was tricked into a lease agreement with none of the terms told to me everything was done on a computer so I was not able to read anything until it was printed off. I would like for this lease agreement to be handled as I've paid more than the amount that I've leased. This agreement is in violation of the Truth and Lending act I've paid more than 4 installment payments and have received no equity as a consumer. This is a Consumer Lease Agreement that has no signature from administering agent I was emailed the original lease agreement which does in fact have my signature but in order for it to be legal and binding it should have two one from myself and the administering agent. The company showed up on my credit report XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX this is my receipt of purchase, letting me know that this was in fact a consumer credit transaction. Pursuant to 15 USC 1605 a finance charge is the sum of all charges and is involved in every consumer credit transaction. No were in this agreement does it show me what the finance charge was which is deceptive because I was told my credit wasnt being used. This entire agreement is deceptive and misleading. I was not able to read anything at the time a signing my signature was provided in a small keypad with the computer screen turned facing the store clerk.

In XX/XX/XXXX I went to the XXXX XXXX XXXX located at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX VA ( XXXX ) to purchase a new dishwasher. While checking out, the store employee told me that I could purchase the dishwasher either outright ( which I had intended to do when I went to pick up the item ), or I could make biweekly payments with no interest for the same cost - they would just deduct {$42.00} every two weeks from my bank account. I decided to try the payments since there would be no difference in the cost. Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX - a company called TEMPOE has been taking {$42.00} from my bank account every two weeks beginning on XX/XX/XXXX. Thus I have now paid {$770.00} for a {$450.00} dishwasher that I was perfectly capable of purchasing outright at the time of my purchase, but was grossly misinformed about what I was signing up for. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called TEMPOE at ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX per the last charge on my account to ask what these charges were for. They informed me that I had signed up for a lease of this item I intended to purchase outright. When I told them that I never signed a lease for an item - I was told I was just making normal payments for the cash amount - they told me that they could close out the lease. But I paid over {$300.00} more for the item than I was told at first, AND I NEVER RECEIVED ANY DISCLOSURES OR AGREEMENT FOR A LEASE. After explaining this, the TEMPOE employee noted that they had emailed it to an email address that was not mine - confirming that no terms were ever disclosed. The TEMPOE employee has put in a request to refund {$300.00} to me, but was very clear that there is a good chance they will not approve the refund. I am filing this complaint because I sincerely believe that the money is owed back to me due to the fact that I was not informed that I was signing up for a lease but instead was told I was buying something same as cash, just making payments instead - and that no lease agreement or disclosure of any terms were provided to me. I am also questioning the integrity of this service based on what I have gone through. I have attached a history of all of the payments made to this company since my intended purchase ( and unintended lease ).

This complaint is in regards to XXXX XXXX. This company has called me from the number XXXX a few times since obtainingy account with them. If I do not answer my personal phone they then called my work phone on XX/XX/XXXX they were advised verbally by our phone call not to contact my work phone number as I can not take personal calls at this number. They have called a couple of times prior to that on both phones but I do not have those dates unfortunately. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from XXXX from XXXX XXXX and I was not able to take this call but someone else did and took down a message from them. Not two minutes later I got a call on my work number after they were advised I can not take personal phone calls at that number. I let the gentleman on the line know again on XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX XXXX not to contact my work phone number again and he ignored me and began talking about my balance owed. The gentleman on the line began raising his voice as I told him I can not pay anything currently nor can I commit to something at this time due to financial hardship and he said he was not there to hear about my burdens just there for business. They stated this was the last time they would call before they sent my account back for refusal to pay. My wife then took over the call and their supervisor got on the line and wanted to set up payments. My wife asked for a letter regarding the payment arrangements first and they did not want to do that and they said they simply did not want to send something out for a {$25.00} a month payment plan. So we advised him to send it back then because we want something in writing. He stated that something was sent in XX/XX/XXXX but we had not recieved it and he stated that we threw it away. They were demanding payment by the end of this month and that is something we could not do and would not without something in writing first and they would not provide it. Each time this company calls they yell and threaten that they have just today to get this resolved before it goes back to the original creditor. I spoke with the original creditor and they stated they are not expecting anything back regarding this account with them. Please get this resolved

Please note the application for credit was applied for by the salesman. The salesman explains the terms as you will have to pay an initial amount upfront and then you will have five additional payments which will be auto drafted. He asks you a series of personal questions and puts the information in the system and then tells you the amount you have been approved for. I did not receive any type of paperwork with actual terms listed before the transaction. All I had to stand on was the words of the salesman. After the transaction you are given your receipt. Later after calling Tempoe , LLC is when I found out the terms were on the receipt. It still does not rectify the fact the actual terms are not received until after the transaction. **Note : the terms explained by the salesman were in the top of the receipt but in smaller print on the receipt were the terms regarding a lease. ** I argued I did not owe any additional payments and became so frustrated I told the representative, you do not have permission to withdraw any additional payments from my account. I stated consider this contract null and void. I also told her I would return the merchandise. When I tried to return the merchandise to XXXX they stated it was not theirs and I could not leave it with them. Therefore, I called Tempoe , LLC and asked them to come get their merchandise. I did not receive any additional communications from them but a few days ago I was contacted by a debt collector ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). **The organization acted deceptively, with misleading conduct and false representations. ** Lead to believe payments made are going to the purchase of the item. Instead you find out after the fact you are leasing rather than purchasing. This violates the truth in lending act ( TILA ) know before you owe ( KBYO ). The company has become known for its inconsistent and predatory lending practices. Requires disclosure in the cost of credit. Must receive in writing the finance charge and APR. Would not allow return of the property. Creates a cycle of continuous debt and refinancing which is illegal in the state of Georgia.

I just received an email last week and updated, or thought was an update on a account that said a payment didnt go through, okay I was thinking what the heck. I pay my bill every week! I answered that email with the payment issue that I was thinking what in the heck are you even talking about. I thought it was fixed then get another email today saying their was a problem with my account. Once again what in the world are you talking about. Well the guy says I have {$180.00} in return fees. Okay, wait a minute WHAT? I come to find out the card you are all running is a card that had to be reissued by the bank due to a fraudulent charge back at the XX/XX/XXXX. Okay, I was told I had been called about it. Well I personally didnt get any phone calls as its hard for me to answer my phone, so no voicemails either. The next form of communication is mail not email, but mail for which I never received anything and I responded to both emails. Thinking everything was still right. You all charged me {$180.00} in chargeback fees for a card that wasnt even working, because fraudulent behavior on the account. I never noticed it not coming out because I have quiet a few transactions. I asked about this chargeback fees and said do you take my payments out on a Friday he said yes and I said there is no way thats when my husband gets paid and their is ALWAYS money in the bank even if not on a Friday. Mail, you couldnt have sent me something by mail, for which you did not. {$180.00} in fees on a card that was no longer working. You could have sent me a piece of mail yeah never did and I responded to the two emails. I paid my {$160.00} odd dollars to catch up and also that {$180.00} fee. You did them offer me pay out at {$500.00} the actual merchandise was barely {$250.00} not counting what you had already collected with the right account information and I also put money down. This is shady, very shady! I dont have a choice but to warn others, even the XXXX. I cant notify you if I dont know whats going on. No mail and two emails I did answer. UNACCEPTABLE, because I do not run my finances like this.

I went into a XXXX XXXX store located on XXXX XXXX in XXXX ny. I asked the clerk for a XXXX XXXX XXXX for my cell phone but he did not have it. I turned around and walked out of the store. The clerk then chased me down into the street to ask me if I wanted to see if I was eligible for a free XXXX . Being in need of a working telephone I walked back to the store with the clerk. After XXXX minutes of running my name in his system the clerk says hey you are eligible for an XXXX . The only thing is that you have to pay XXXX dollars a month for it. I said honestly that 's a little expensive sir I do n't know if I can afford that. The gentleman continued persisting I get the phone & mentioning perks of having a XXXX with the XXXX XXXX service. After a couple minutes of persuasion & reassuring me I finally agreed to get the phone. The gentleman then folded sum paperwork ackwardly & ask me to sign at the bottom for the phone. I had no clue that I was signing a contract agreement between me and a phone leasing for the XXXX . The clerk lied about the agreement on the phone & did n't even mention that I was leasing a phone. He claimed I was paying XXXX dollars a month which was XXXX for the service and XXXX dollars off the price of the phone which is initially only XXXX dollars on the receipt. I payed up front XXXX dollars for the phone not to mention XXXX payments or more of XXXX dollars every XXXX weeks was removed from my account unauthorized. I went back to the clerk and pleaded with him to please take the phone back but the gentleman would not. He did n't want to service me anymore after I made the purchase which was not even a XXXX of the initial payment transaction. I spoke with the store owner about the ordeal and he apologized and agreed to take back the phone. We had schedule a day to meet at another store location of XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX but was unsuccessful due to lost of contact. I called the owner numerous times and left numerous messages to return my call but was unsuccessful.

XX/XX/XXXX, I had purchased items under a lease, XXXX XXXX was advertising 90 days same as cash at XXXX XXXX. I authorized verbally and documented company to withdrawal and set up bi weekly payment plan for the account to be paid in full on XXXX XXXX XXXX via lease agreement. So the company automatically withdrew payments bi weekly until XX/XX/XXXX for some odd reason. The checking account or any contact info hasn't changed still to this day. The company failed to notify me of delinquency or why they failed to withdrawal of payment which the last payment that was automatically set up to pay this account in full would occur on XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$170.00}. When i called XXXX they wouldn't discuss any information on account and directed me to a collection company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. I mailed certified request of validation of debt which was returned and trying to get this resolved since XX/XX/XXXX and have came to no resolution. I've disputed several time to the 3 major credit bureaus and nothing has changed nor any information on this on why it was delinquent for the amount shown on my credit report. I couldn't get a hold of XXXX XXXX XXXX, and left several messages with this creditor. Still no response. Tempoe breached their own contract, failed to notify of delinquency, returned request of validation, and never flagged the accounts during disputes. Reported amounts 11 times greater than the account owed, but due to the negligence on the company not abiding by their contract/ lease agreement which there's a clause for same as cash purchase to be withdrawled which should of been XXXX XXXX of XXXX failed to take the last payment so this purchase/ lease agreement would exhaust. They decided to ignore my concerns and harass me by putting it on my credit report which is not enabling me to purchase a home. I have went on XXXX website to find out who to submit a complaint to which is XXXX XXXX, which i emailed today. I just want this off my credit report as collections and hoping they will resolve this within 28 days ...

I apologize as I do not have exact dates. I spoke with Mr. XXXX ( not sure if that is spelled correctly ) from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX around XXXX XXXX 2020. He told me his company had one of my debts for Tempoe LLC for {$560.00} and wanted to arrange payment. I advised him that due to COVID I could not make a payment at the time. He responds with " You don't want a judgement on your record do you ''. I advised him that I am not going to be intimidated by fear tactics and asked how long I had before this alleged " judgement '' were to happen. He said " I do not have time for this '' and hung up the phone. I called him back to ask why he hung up and he said " I was wasting his time ''. After speaking with him further we had come to an agreement of $ 50/month until the debt was settled. I advised I wanted the agreement in writing as it was a settlement agreement for less than the original debt. He advised he would send it to me via e mail. When I did not receive the agreement I blocked the payment from going through as I am not going to give access to my bank account to someone without a written agreement to protect myself. Since we spoke right before XXXX I did not have a chance to contact them regarding the agreement before receiving another call from Mr. XXXX. He advised the payment did not process and I told him why. He went into a rant about how I should have called him and how I need to make a payment before he sends me an agreement, which is not what he said originally. He then advised I was wasting his time once again and we ended the conversation. A woman called me from this company about a month later. I advised her what happened with Mr. XXXX and she seemed to be apologetic but then said she was going to put me down as a refusal to pay. I said I wasn't refusing, just asking questions. She said she would reactivate my agreement and would send me the written agreement via e mail and someone would contact me when done so. I have not received a written agreement or anymore phone calls from this company since that interaction.

Starting XX/XX/XXXX the number XXXX claiming to be XXXX called me regarding a matter from XX/XX/XXXX. When you first answer their recording states " You will be serviced legal paperwork in 72 hours '' When someone answered the phone the man kept saying that he was on the phone with the courts. They stated that I needed to speak with their supervisor because I was going to be sued. The Supervisor got on the phone and told me that I owed {$310.00} but if I paid that day on XX/XX/XXXX and that day only that they could drop the price to {$220.00}. I tried to explain that I needed to look into this claim and they pretty much made it seem like I only had two or three days to look into this without getting sued. They stated that they were XXXX and that they were working on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX. I looked into this claim on XX/XX/XXXX and then received a phone call again from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX wondering when I was going to pay because my account was in pre litigation with their office. They never offered to send me anything in the mail regarding the debt as I have not received anything from neither FCS or XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I spoke with the man on XX/XX/XXXX he was all over the place putting me on hold saying " Oh sorry I was on the line with the courts '' and then he finally got me to the supervisor where they stated they would look into my questioning as to why the other man kept stating he was on the line with the courts which made it seem like I was being sued right then and there. They never got back to me. I set up an arrangement I was not comfortable with because I felt like if I did not then I was going to be sued right away. I have attempted to call XXXX XXXX XXXX a few times and have left voicemails and have had no returned phone calls I called on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. So far they have not been able to prove this debt to me which also has my maiden name and I have not used that name in 6 years. Also when I asked about the debt they just kept saying it should be on your credit report.

I spoke to XXXX XXXX XXXX today XXXX at XXXX central time about a damaging fraudulent negative collection account from them on my credit report. They have this marked as a brand new account from XXXX XXXX which is a lie, the ( orginal account ) is over XXXX XXXX XXXX which is thru whynotleasing.

I informed the gentelman on the phone who said the call was being recorded about the issues on my credit report that they failed to send a letter 30 days prior to making a negtive collection account mark on my credit report and if this is their practice that they do not follow the national fair credit debt collection act, his response is they follow the fair credit debt collection act ( sometimes ). I also i formed them that the account is over 7 years old and they couldnt collect on the account. I also informed them that they had also caused me not to get a loan thru XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which i have the letter of denial due to the collection account which is the only collection on my credit report. Which i will provide proof of the denial of credit letter upon request.

I have also gave them a verbal cease and desist on this matter as well. And to repair my credit and take the collection off

I purchased a stove from XXXX in XXXX, ma using their Why not lease it now credit purchases programs based in NH. Tel XXXX and address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NH XXXX. After about I made 4 months of on time payments and then I had called the company thinking I would be able to make my final payment and I had contacted XXXX who is the the manager of the manager of the company stated on phone that none of my my payments counted toward the balance because it is a lease. He also admitted on the phone on a recorded call that the sales representative at XXXX mispresented the terms of the lease and he said I signed a contract. However XXXX doesn't give you a contract they provide you with a receipt that you sign in tiny print. I was told that I passed the deadline within a month to pay the stove off and I had to pay the whole balance of {$240.00} which meant all the payments I made since the lurch date back in XXXX of XXXX every 2 weeks did not count towards the purchase price. So they then explained my options was to keep leasing it or returning the stove. I feel it was. It right they were not transparent about the supposed contract as I was under impression since they don't explain they contract terms week that if you don't pay within 90 days it later turns into a lease agreement. I had no idea that they would count all the payments I made as lease payments. That's why I feel they are deceptive the way the program is treated as a credit program as I though my payments within the 90 days would have counted towards the balance. They uses very deceptive tactics and this was a very cheap syove over not worth all the money I feel I was robbed out of. They need to recompense me as I feel they were unfair business practice at least refund me monies that I applied toward the initial 90 day period. They made this way more complicated than it had to be and I have vision issues so handing someone a receipt with tiny print at a XXXX cashier is very unhelpful in this situation.

My Dad purchased a refrigerator at the XXXX Store in XXXX, Texas, through XXXX ( aka Tempoe ) on Saturday, XX/XX/2019. I paid for half of the price from my debit card while he paid for the other half cash. This was the beginning of our problems. The refrigerator was supposed to have been delivered on XX/XX/2019, The delivery team was rude to my XXXX, XXXX father, and never delivered the merchandise. On XX/XX/2019, I rushed my father to the emergency room where he was subsequently admitted into XXXX. On XX/XX/2019, prior to being XXXX, he gave verbal notification to XXXX that he would be cancelling the refrigerator. Sadly, he died on Saturday, XX/XX/2019. On Monday, XX/XX/2019, I went to XXXX and spoke to the manager to submit paperwork to XXXX to inform them of his death and to have them process the refund in my name. The documentation was faxed while I was at the store office. I had been following up with XXXX, but, to no avail. From what " XXXX '', the district operations manager for Tempoe told me, documents received between Monday and Wednesday would yield a check release on the Friday of the same week. By his statement, the check should have been mailed to me on Friday, XX/XX/2019. For reasons unknown to me, XXXX did NOT process anything in the timely manner alleged and the check was allegedly mailed on Friday, XX/XX/2019. I have attempted to get the corporate telephone number to Tempoe to formally complain about the rude and insensitive manner in which I had been treated by " XXXX '' and XXXX/Tempoe. When I asked for the corporate number, XXXX would not provide it to me. Instead, he talked down at me and was quite rude. He kept giving me toll free numbers that wound up being answered by people who were not even in the United States. When I demanded the corporate telephone number, I was given what turned out to be a mobile phone contact. As of this writing, I have not received a refund.

I am having trouble with financing I received for some auto repairs on my car. I never received a copy of my signed agreement and was told by the shop I received the services that the company will email the executed agreement. I had some family business ( caring for parents ) to tend to after I got the XXXX fixed and was n't able to follow up.The company began debiting my account for the amount agreed but then they started debited my account on days not agreed ( every other Friday ) and caused overdraft on my account, which they continue to do. So as I tried to get information online about the contract I found out the actual financing was a LEASE contract for the PART used in the repair and after a certain time I would have to " return '' the XXXX equipment at the end of lease. Essentially I am renting the repairs made to my car and not financing the repair cost as I was originally was told. In neither the Tempoe agent I spoke to or the representative at XXXX XXXX referred to this as a lease agreement and I was not advised the that I would be returning the repair equipment. I called in to Tempoe a copy of my executed agreement online and he said the agreement was on the web account. The agreement has no time stamped signature or the electronic signature I signed on the pad at XXXX XXXX . I have requested a copy of this and any other documents of my lease agreement and the company refuses to send it to me. The agent spoke to XXXX says that they do n't have hard copies of the agreement to send me. I asked him for any paperwork for this loan to be sent to me and they have failed to send it. He also, said I can purchase the equipment for a fee. I feel like from beginning there was was deceptive loan origination practices and this company is not disclosing to their customers that they are entering lease agreement for equipment financing.

1. XX/XX/XXXX I received a credit alert from XXXX as I receive alerts with all activity on my credit report. 2. The alert indicated a collection reported on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$2200.00} from XXXX XXXX with a open date on XX/XX/XXXX and last payment of {$110.00} that stated the balance effective XX/XX/XXXX is {$2200.00} opened with XXXX XXXX. I never even made a payment of {$110.00} as this account does not belong to me and is a fraud account. 3. I never received any correspondence from XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX via mail or telephone. I have no idea who this company is, I have no credit with this company. If you review my credit inquiries I don't even have any credit from these companies at all. 4. I attempted to contact them at XXXX and they refuse to assist me and said I owe {$2200.00}. I asked for correspondence because I have no paperwork, statements, calls, or anything, as this is not my account and it is fraud. They just stated I owe them this money and refused to provide me any correspondence. I advised them that this is a fraud account because it does not belong to me. 5. I disputed with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX as XXXX found the information accurate and refused to remove it from my credit report and told me to contact XXXX XXXX as I did and they refused to provide me with any correspondence as well. I asked XXXX how they were able to find this collection accurate in one day after each dispute and how did they find this to be accurate as this account was never on my credit report and then suddenly 2 years later they report a collection that does not belong to me. Their response was some companies are faster then others and advised me to file a complaint with you.

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I purchased an XXXX washer appliance from XXXX XXXX store, XXXX, California. The customer service representative who served me stated I could pay a portion of the purchase price in store and the remaining balance on an installment plan with a XXXX approved outside financing agency. I agreed to said promotion and paid {$260.00} in store with the agreement I would then be charged 5 additional payments of {$44.00} per month for the remaining balance, with the total amount paid equaling {$480.00}. The 5 monthly payments were paid in full. However, the month succeeding the 5th payment XXXX XXXX XXXX, I was charged a sixth payment of {$44.00}. Upon contacting the leasing company ( WhynotleaseitXXXX ), I was informed my lease was not a lease to own and that if I wished to purchase my appliance, I would need to pay the residual balance of {$140.00} in addition to the next installment payment of {$44.00}. This would bring the total paid to {$710.00} for the appliance with a cash price of {$480.00}. In addition, I was informed I could continue to pay the lease fee for an additional 12 months, after which time, I would need to return the item to the creditor. In total, I will have paid the company 147.16 % of the retail purchase price of the appliance. I believe this company is engaging in deceptive practices by not explicitly disclosing that you are agreeing to a lease without ownership at the point of purchase. Furthermore, the company does not inform you of the option to purchase your item at the end of the 5 payment period, instead opting to continue automatically charging your payment account without notice.

This purchase took place on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was told by the clerk, XXXX, that the company was involved with a sleep study funded by a federal grant. I was told that if I agreed to participate in the sleep study I could get my mattress purchase significantly discounted, so I agreed. I was charged {$300.00}, paid with my debit card, and had a queen size mattress, box spring, and frame delivered the same day. I never signed anything stating that I would pay more than the {$300.00} I was charged. Months later I began receiving text messages from WhyNotLeaseIt. Although I did not know what the company was or why they were contacting me I did not look into it any further. When the calls began I was completely flabbergasted because I never agreed to pay {$1900.00} for that mattress. I tried disputing the charge with WhyNotLeaseIt in XX/XX/XXXX. I sent in a copy of my receipt but was told that it was not valid because it was not signed. However, the attached credit terminal receipt states that there is no signature required. I tried to go directly to the merchant but since then XXXX XXXX XXXX has closed permanently. After closing, the same location was called XXXX XXXX at one point, but is now closed as well. I tried emailing at the address printed on the business card, but the email could not be delivered because the address is not valid. The account was being collected by XXXX XXXX and I have tried to dispute the charges several times with all three credit bureaus. I received so-called proof that I owned the debt in the form of an electronic signature with only my initials in lower-case, " XXXX ''.

On Friday, XX/XX/2018 I contacted a creditor that I owed. The company name is XXXX. I called trying to pay out an account I had with them but i was told another agency was handling my account and to call them. The company that was handling my account is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called and I informed the lady that I needed to pay out the account. She said the balance was {$700.00}. I said okay and then I said to her I see this is not been reporting on my credit report and she said No it isnt. I proceeded to pay the money and she said it declined but that she would run the card again the next day which was Saturday. I said okay. She stated she would send an email and confirmation when it was done. Saturday morning I checked the account and the pymt was made yet I did not receive an email or confirmation from them. Approx 1-2 hours later I received an alert from XXXX XXXX indicating a new collection was added to my account. I logged in to see that this company had reported it to my credit reporting agency as an unpaid account as of XX/XX/XXXX. As a result my credit score dropped over 34 points causing me delay in trying to purchase my first home. Prior to Friday I had never heard anything from this company. No phone calls or letters. It was not on my credit report until after they got their money. This company reported false information not by accident but knowingly they put false information on my report causing me harm. This company should be fined because they violated the FDCPA LAW which states if a company puts false information on your credit report knowingly this is a violation.

I purchased a lawn mower through XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX through the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX program. Put down the deposit needed and was never provided a lease agreement at all in store. I was under the assumption it was like rent to own not lease it forever and pay a arm and leg for it. When I was able to look at my lease through the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX site I discovered what was explained to me paying it off in 5 months ( per the store ) then I would own it and not have to pay interest, that was wrong. On top of that it was a brand new riding lawn mower that when I got it home found rust on it, I called the store that day and had to go into the store the next day and they were suppose to have it fixed that week by a XXXX employee to come to the house and replace the rusted hood, I never got a call so with that I decided to return the item on XX/XX/XXXX when I was back in town from work. I got a signed receipt from the store showing they received it and sent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a copy of the lease, the return receipt to the store signed by a manager and sent it certified mail. They have called me no less then 5 times since returning it stating that I owe them money. I have provide to them all this information again over the phone and also the certified letter tracking number showing they got it. They called yet again today and have threatened to put this on my credit report and demanding that I go to the store and call them from there. I have talked to supervisors at this business and still getting harassed over something that was returned.

Received a phone call from a representative of XXXX XXXX XXXX advising me that they are attempting to collect an unpaid debt for furniture delivery in Florida. I immediately thought this was a fraud, and I advise the person that I was hanging up because I 've not purchased furniture and do n't even live in Florida. We conversed more and I found that somehow someone opened an account with my credentials with a company named XXXX XXXX XXXX to purchase furniture - I was even given the address - a 'manager ' of this credit services company was the one whom provided me with this extra information and assured me he would send this case back to the leasing company. I immediately looked up this leasing company and called in attempt to clarify this - I was unable to speak to a 'person ' but was able to leave MULTIPLE messages. To date no one has contacted me. Pulling up my credit report after the XXXX security breach I noticed a collection account listed for {$1800.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX, I also see that one of my past addresses listed is FLORIDA? I 've NEVER lived in Florida - I can provide any proof needed and can attest to the fact that I have NEVER lived in Florida and have not opened any account from XXXX to purchase furniture. PLEASE CLEAR THIS OFF MY REPORT as this is FRAUD/I am attempting to purchase property and this should not be on my report - I believe this leasing company did not have a valid right to open an account under my credentials. How could this happen? This is completely false and illegal!!!!!!

I sent a letter of convergent asking for : 1. Validation of the debt-that is, the actual accounting. 2. Verification of a signed invoice. 3. A copy of the Contract binding both parties ( you and them ), in a letter by certified mail so that there is an independent witness to it having been delivered. However, according to 15 USC 1692 ( E ), 15 USC 1692 ( D ), AND 15 USC 1692 ( B ) Not use any language or symbol on any envelope or in the contents of any communication effected by the mails or telegram that indicates that the debt collector is in the debt collection business or that the communication of a debt. A loan agreement is a contract and so there has to be full disclosure of all the details ( which there wasnt, both sides have to put up something of equal worth ( which didnt happen ), the contract has to be signed is wet ink by both parties. Contract : a written or spoken agreement, especially one concerning employment, sales, or tenancy, that is intended to be enforceable by law. " both parties must sign employment contracts '' A statement is not an Invoice so would you please provide a signed Invoice as requested. A loan application does not constitute a Contract as it only signed by one party and I asked for a copy signed by both. Once again, I am demanding the requested documents to be sent to me within the next 14 to 28 days and if this does not happen than I will consider the debt to be fully discharged and for my property returned to me.

XXXX XXXX Why Not Lease It, based in XXXX OH, has called me several times for several the last several days prior to XXXX am local time ( Mountain Time Zone ). In total, I have received 17 calls before XXXX am local time ( Mountain Time Zone ) over the last 6 business days. I have called them back and am told it is an attempt to collect a debt. While, I full acknowledge having an open lease agreement with the organization that has been and is current, never once late or delinquent, I have no past due amount. Further, when I spoke with a gentlemen today, and asked why they were calling me at this hour, I was told " pay your bills and we won't call you. '' At that moment he went into his this is an attempt to collect a debt and all information gathered will be used to collect the debt referenced. I demanded to speak with a manager. I was turned over to XXXX at that time and made mention that I knew that they were violating the law. He said yes your right. The purpose of the call was a " WELCOME CALL '' not to collect a debt as I was informed. Sadly the same welcome call was completed on XX/XX/2020. I have asked several times to stop these calls and am told they can and will not. At this time, I ask that they been investigated and punished accordingly. I plan to speak with legal counsel today on this matter and will seek further personal legal remedies on this matter including damages.

On XX/XX/2021 I received a phone call stating XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was attempting to serve me with paperwork that they were taking me to court. They stated that unless I paid their settlement amount or agreed to enter into a payment arrangement of {$200.00} per month for 10 months they would sue me in court. Also stated that they have a tax return offset against me and were in the process of filing a wage garnishment with my employer already. The debt was for {$1000.00}. I have paid a settlement offer with the collections company that is listed on my credit report, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, when I spoke to the representative there, they stated that they have not heard of the other company, and that it is illegal for them to state that they have a tax return offset and that they were filing a wage garnishment form with my employer without a judgement against me. I contacted XXXX XXXX, who stated he is the manager of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, today XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX PST and he stated that the collections company does not own the account even though they are the only one reporting to my credit reports and that they are going to serve me with papers and that they have the legal right to pursue tax return offsets and wage garnishments prior to a judge hearing the case. The phone number for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is XXXX.

I leased a refrigerator from The XXXX outlet store located at Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I exercised my early purchase option on XX/XX/XXXX and paid off my lease. I then decided to cancel my 5 year XXXX purchase plan warranty on the same day. ( cost of XXXX ). I started making phones call at XXXX XXXX est on XX/XX/XXXX, after being transferred multiple times, and dropped into different call queues, I was able to get the warranty cancelled, HOWEVER I am now being told that I have to wait 15-21 business days in order to receive a CHECK for {$590.00}, because it is there policy to issue a refund to the method of payment that they have on file. THE METHOD OF PAYMENT ON FILE IS MY DEBIT CARD that I have been paying with since XX/XX/XXXX. It does not make sense that I have to wait all of this time to get my money back! They need to issue my credit onto my card. I received a series of conflicting answers through out this entire process from both the people the XXXX outlet, TEMPOE, and WHY NOT LEASE IT ( same company ) horrible customer service, incompetent people, and poorly trained. I also found out that the address they have on file is incorrect on the first go around, the rep said he fixed it, but when I called back, it is still wrong. So whatever check they are sending me, will not reach me!!

We obtained a lease from XXXX through a company called XXXX or XXXX. We were advised that we were able to payoff our refrigerator with 10 biweekly payments of {$140.00} which would total the amount of the refrigerator of {$1400.00}. We were not advised that we would have to pay an additional payment of for a 90 day buyout in XX/XX/XXXX. At the beginning of the lease we sent 3 emails that went unanswered and attempted to contact them via phone as well with no response. Now we are being told that in order to payoff our refrigerator we would have to pay an additional {$900.00}. When I asked to speak with a supervisor to resolve the issue I was hung up on. We really feel taken advantage of by not only the leasing company but the salesperson at XXXX at well. My family made sacrifices for the 10 payments because we knew it would not be for an extended time period. This was a Christmas gift for my fiance and I am extremely disappointed at having to continue with these payments. We are hard working people and this is unfair. My fiance took a refrigerator from the XXXX XXXX and intentionally looked for one that was not too expensive. I do n't feel this is fair. I feel robbed! Also, the company took a partial payment in XXXX. We were not certain as to why but now we feel it was a part of their plan to try and scam us anyway.

I've been contacted numerous times by XXXX XXXX XXXX for months regarding a debt I owe. I ignored the calls for the most part because it seemed like a scam from the beginning. However, I finally obliged and called them back requesting additional information on this charge they are collecting ( {$1700.00} ), they did not have any details but promise to send them via mail. Nothing was received, and I communicated to them that I am no longer taking any calls as I haven't seen anything on my credit report on this alleged debt. I check my credit report yesterday ( 2 months later ) and my score had dropped significantly due to a delinquent debt by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I've contacted them several times within the past couple of days which resulted in their failure to provide information, hanging up, unable to provide a valid email address or website, and just very suspicious operations. I've since communicated to them that I have filed various complaints ( identitytheft.gov, FTC, police report ), and will proceed to take legal action if not resolved by them. They have then blocked my calls, or hang up the phone when I use a different contact number of theirs. I do not have any documents from them with information on this debt. They have only operated over the phone, requesting immediate payment via credit card.

I went to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, to purchase a washer and dryer and was presented by the sales representative that I could lease it instead of paying the entire amount all at once. I was approved for a little over {$1800.00}, once I received my lease agreement I still assumed that my lease was no more than {$1100.00}. Once I reached my 5th payment I thought that my bill total will be completed taken the washer and dryer was only {$1300.00}. I contacted the customer service number and the guy was saying once I reached my 5th payment I could buy out the purchase or continue to lease it. So I asked how much is owed he went on to transfer me to someone who would be able to assist. After being transferred to numerous people, the line was disconnected. The next morning ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I sent an email requesting a payoff amount with no response, a couple days later I sent another email requesting a payoff amount as well as stating that after adding up the total amount of payments made through XX/XX/XXXX, my total purchase would be {$4000.00}. That was looking at the payment schedule that was posted on my account. I think this company is very misleading. I filed for bankruptcy and as my attorney was reviewing the lease agreement, he couldn't make out the terms saying the contract makes no sense at all.

NOTE : I am no liable for this account since my information was used by a family member, XXXX has sent me a " Lease agreement '' with date of transaction, with my " electronic '' signature not it. No hand written signature provided which does not prove I signed that lease. I have sent multiple letters to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX in regards to this debt. I have asked them multiple times to " Verify '' this debt. The first time they have removed it. I believe a couple weeks later they have added the debt back on to my credit report, then removed then added, which has significantly damaged my credit score after hard work of building it. XXXX has done this multiple times which resulted in decreasing my score significantly. I have sent them a re-insertion letter, explaining that if they had already removed a collections account that is still " Unverified '' that it should stay removed under FCRA! I am currently in the process of getting this account removed from my credit report since, 1. I am not liable for it. 2. it is stopping me from establishing good credit. I have also contacted via letters the creditor directly so they can also verify this account. Debt is listed on all 3 of my credit reports under : XXXX XXXX XXXX - Amount is {$820.00} Original Creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX

I made a purchase at XXXX for a XXXX dishwasher. I was going to pay cash but this would have put me in a bind financially until I got paid again.When checking out the store clerk told me about their credit program to get it financed. I was to make payments of XXXX and my final pay off date would be XX/XX/2018. If I wanted to pay off the loan or lease sooner I could call the company after 3 payments. I thought this sounded great. I was unaware they would continue to bill for XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. I then called the leasing company several times, Why Not Lease It. The company 's representatives stated the best deal that they could give me was XXXX off which was the XX/XX/XXXX payment, if I paid XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Of course, I agreed since that was the best that they would help me. I wish I have never chose to lease the dishwasher because I've paid XXXX over what I initially signed up for. The instructions on the lease were very misleading and states the payment plan until XX/XX/XXXX. The costumer service agents were very rude and insulting, though I called them 3 times to resolve this issue. They acted like they did me a big favor for saving me from paying another payment of XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and insulted me because I was upset.

Purchased fridgerator and stove on XX/XX/XXXX and was told it would be a lease to own product using whynotleaseit. Cash price was {$1800.00} and contract stated we would only pay a total of {$1500.00} per the sales price. Contract states wed pay an initial amount of XXXX, and then next pay of XXXX due on XX/XX/XXXX followed by XXXX payments of XXXX to complete a XXXX period term. We paid the initial payment of XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and then made XXXX additional payments of XXXX with the final payment on XX/XX/XXXX for a total of XXXX, not {$1500.00}. Contract states we should not have paid past XX/XX/XXXX but that is not correct as it would have only equaled {$1400.00}. At this point we are under the impression we own the product since we have fulfilled all payments and then some. However, it then states on their website in order to own we have to pay an additional {$910.00}. If I have to pay the additional {$910.00} I would have paid a total of {$2600.00} to own a product with a cash price of {$1800.00}. That is almost a 40 % markup. This company is deceiving their customers into thinking they are renting to own, creating confusing and incorrect contracts, and are charging customers additional fees after payments have been made in full.

Last XXXX I noticed several weekly payments coming out of my account from Tempoe , LLC. I called them and asked what this was and they couldn't give me any information as I didn't have an account with them. I asked them " why then are you taking out money from my bank account? '' They suggested I call my bank. I called my XXXX XXXX and they started an investigation and issued me a new debit card as that was how the monies were being removed. They reimbursed me all the funds. Sometime in XXXX I started receiving phone calls from a company that said they were trying to collect on the debt. I relayed the same info to them as above. They told me that they were emailing me information. I asked what email they were using and it wasn't mine. Something like XXXX???? I then called XXXX County Sheriff Office and spoke with a Deputy who said that this was a common ploy and that I should just tell the people who called that it wasn't my debt and hang-up. He also suggested I keep a watch I my credit report. When I looked today, I found a negative report from XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$1400.00}. I called XXXX and disputed the report. They suggested I file a claim with the FTC.gov which I am doing today. Can you please help?

On XX/XX/XXXX, I went into XXXX XXXX to purchase a refrigerator. The salesperson told me about their lease to own program where I would put down a small deposit that day and every two weeks they well deduct XXXX out of my account until the terms of the license was satisfied., Fastforward to XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed that money was still being taken out of my account at this point I knew my license would of been paid in full. I added up all the charges and saw that I paid over XXXX more than the lease. I contacted the company and was told they will refund the last transaction but their is nothing more they can do because it's a lease to lease agreement. That isn't what I was told at time of purchase and who would pay double the price knowingly, they even tries to get me to enter into another agreement to do a rent to own.At this point o was frustrated and tries to dispute the charge with my bank, but being that some of the transactions were over 6 months there was nothing they could do besides refund me XXXX, which equate to 2 payments. No one ever told me that I needed to contact the company to have payments stop. Once a contract is done all payments should of seized, but they continued taking money out of my account.

Several weeks ago I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX company and indicated that I have an account in my credit report that does not belong to me and is hurting me at that moment, especially by Mrs. XXXX XXXX and she told me to send her by email the police report and all my documents. It has been several weeks of this and I have not received an answer, today I contacted the company and they passed me to a manager named XXXX XXXX. He tells me that the account is finished investigating and they determined that the account does not belong to me because they do not have any information about me and he told me that the company 's lawyer said that the account stayed in my XXXX report because this is a old account and he's not going to delete it even if it's not mine. He told me that the best thing I can do is pay it off and forget about making a dispute. I explained to Mr. XXXX that this account is not mine that I was a victim of identity theft and he tells me that they do not care and that I have to pay and that since the account is {$700.00} I can not sue them. At the end of the last thing he told me I tell you a secret, we do nothing with these police report send it directly to XXXX and forget about this process.

This balance on XXXX has been haunting me for years. It resurfCed in XXXX of XXXX. At the end of XXXX after reporting it fradulent in XXXX of XXXX, I attempted to contact and negotiate a lower price to pay it off. I do not wish to pay XXXX on a debt that I did not create. At the begining of XXXX I began trying to join the XXXX XXXX. I can not join with this debt weighing on me negatively. I spent 6 months trying to get ahold of the right company. Each number I called was another rabbit hole that ended with them telling me they can not collect on this debt because it had expired. After much research I found out that the debt originated from An XXXX cell phone bill. I have never in my life had a XXXX phone with that service. I have had cable but never a XXXX phone with XXXX. I reported the debt as fraud and it is still lingering. The debt collectors claim that the time for them to legally collect the debt has expired and they are legally not able to take my money and remove this ugliness from my credit. I pay high interest rates and get denied for simple normal coutesies because of this debt and NO ONE will help me settle this issue or even just pay it so it will stop hurting my credit.

I had an account that I opened with a company called XXXX. Its a rent to own situation you lease an item with an option to purchase. I bought a product using this service, completed the lease and then exercised the purchase option via their website. The website allowed for the buyout payment to be made in several installments. I made the required payments to complete the purchase as per my bank statements, but the company kept billing me erroneously after the account was paid in full. I changed my card number to stop the billing and never heard from them again. A year later I now have a {$1700.00} collection on my credit from a bill collector on this account that I believed to be paid in full. I tried calling XXXX but they are saying they wont even talk about the account because its been sold to the collector. The collector doesn't have any details other than the balance they show owed which is also showing on my credit reports. See attached for the original contract as well as bank statements showing the buyout payments on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX. They then billed me again on XX/XX/XXXX after I show the account should have been considered paid in full.

I have written to the company a total of 4 times. I have stated I had no acknowledgment of this account and was asking for documentation. As of the Fair Credit Act Section 609, the creditor must provide a signed document with my physical signature. If they have said document I would go about that process as necessary. Every letter I have written, the credit bureaus state they have been verified by " Our '' Company, ( Meaning the bureau ). Within my rights of Federal Law section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) states they must provide me with a form of verification. They have not done so. Who has verified my account, how was it verified, where is my copy of the document. I have been punished for an account I have no acknowledgment on. They continue to sweep this under the rug and it is not right. They are breaking Federal Law by not complying with what is being asked. As of XXXX /2017 they had sent me a document with wrong address, no consumer agreement, and also my name typed as a signature with undercase lettering. That is definitely not an authorized agreement. They have STILL not provided me with any proof that this said " debt '' belongs to me.

On XX/XX/XXXX the CFPB ordered Tempoe LLC to pay {$36.00} XXXX in penalties and provide relief for tricking consumer and hiding contract terms ( CFPB choice of words from their press release heading ). Docket number XXXX. Tempoe consented to this order. In XXXX of XXXX, Tempoe sold the alleged debt to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. With the assistance of the CFPB I was able to get them to delete the tradeline from my credit reports and received a commitment from them to never resell the debt. ( CFPB Complaint ID XXXX ). However, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX purchased this debt and refuses to acknowledge the terms of the consent order and all previous CFPB actions. This tradeline remains on my credit file and is resulting in a significant rate bump on my mortgage application due to it lowering my credit score. Over the course of the mortgage term, this rate bump is equal to {$86000.00}.

Out of many disputed debts most were taken off after filing an affidavit from the XXXX. I have made two police reports and gave positive names of who might be assumming my identity. However the same 3 accounts are still appearing as derogatory unpaid accounts. They refuse to remove them no matter what I do. My credit score has increased dramatically but the three derogatory accounts that are not mine still appear and the companies as well as the credit agencies refuse to remove them. Interestingly XXXX did remove 2 of the 3 where XXXX refuses to remove any of the three. I have proven time again that they are fraudulent and not opened by me. I have a 100 % payment rate on my accounts that I actually applied for. Also under hard inquiries I have not ask or applied for credit in years. Then it says the length of time of my credit report is under 3 years I am XXXX and have purchased a home in 1999 and paid it off. I have had credit since I was XXXX and yet it reflects me as only having credit for less than 3 years.

In XX/XX/2016 I and my wife loaned {$3000.00} from XXXX XXXX {$1500.00} each to buy a piece of furniture and immediately we started paying the loan using my account and making payments of {$500.00} every month. In a years time, we payed off the loan amount including interest totaling an amount of {$6000.00} and some change. Since XXXX never sent us any statements of payments and balance during the period of the loan, I had to change my bank account at some point when I realized that they kept withdrawing money from my account with an explaining as to what we are still paying for. I am now surprised to see that XXXX XXXX sent my information and that of my wife to collection starting that I still owe them {$2500.00} while my owes them {$2100.00} meanwhile we had payed them more than {$6000.00} meanwhile the money we borrowed from them was just {$3000.00} .This is very ridiculous and I am demanding a thorough investigation and complete removal of this item from my credit report.

This company, XXXX XXXX XXXX is bogus and finds accounts to pin on innocent people that have NEVER applied for the " said '' accounts. I have NEVER financed furniture and have an account listed for {$2500.00} since 2016 that is reportedly for a company that was a fly by night furniture company in XXXX and is no longer in business. I have contested it repeatedly and finally got it off of XXXX and XXXX but XXXX won't remove it for some reason. This company has not been able to produce ANY documentation of anything I signed, no copy of my ID, no proof of address where the furniture was reportedly delivered to. It's ridiculous and should NOT be allowed by these credit bureaus. I have attempted to reason with this company in the past to no avail. The XXXX is FULL of complaints about this company and is even marked as a high alert due to high number of fraudulent reports. This account is negatively affecting my credit file and I need to get it rectified asap. Thank you.

The debt collector contacted my parents at their home phone number. My mother contacted me to inform me about the phone call and stated they have called her several times, which she asked them not to call her again. They have ignored her request. She stated they threatened legal action against me if I didn't contact them. She gave me the number, ( XXXX ) XXXX, which I called myself. The number was answered quickly and I was unable to catch the company name so I asked the female what company was she with, which she then asked me to " hold on a moment ''. I asked her did she not know what company she worked for that she couldn't answer my question? She said she asked me to hold on so she could enter the number I was called from into the " federal database ''. She then placed me on hold. I was on hold for about 15 minutes before I hung up. I wanted to find out what company hired the debt collector so I could determine who I owed a debt to or if I even owed a debt at all.

Original complaint XXXX, this was not taken care of at all. In fact the phone number listed does not work. Today we found out that XXXX XXXX XXXX aka XXXX sold this debt to XXXX XXXX and that was done on XX/XX/XXXX. Now we received a debt letter which we received XX/XX/XXXX, we had no idea what this was for so set a validation letter which was sent XX/XX/XXXX by certified mail, again nothing has been received at all. Today I woke up to XXXX XXXX being added to my credit report ( XXXX and XXXX at the moment ) and has dropped my score significantly and I was set to buy a home. The agency that is servicing this for XXXX XXXX is XXXX XXXX where the letter was sent to, when I called them today they confirmed they did get the validation letter and they have the response ready to be mailed but have not yet ( XX/XX/XXXX ) however someone placed this on my credit when I asked for validation. Also this debt which is not valid at all and was sold illegally to another company.

In XXXX XXXX I ordered a mattress from XXXX using Tempoe why not lease it. I have used this company a few times before and they always offered me an option to pay off the purchase within 90 days of delivery for 10 % fee. My bed was to be delivered in XXXX but Gotback ordered. Due to this I cancelled and went to XXXX who also would let me use my Tempoe/why not lease it credit. I got my bed and then called the Tempoe To let them know I was going to choose the 90 day payoff option. They then advise me that because mattress firm process the order in New Jersey that state does not offer a 90 day option.

Like in XXXX or XXXX Aprox I dont remember a exact date. I bought a bedroom set for my new apartment. When I knew The account was almost paid off I called the company so I could pay off all my account. They gave me the exact quantity of how much I owned them, I paid, The next day the were charging me the same amount I had payed the day before. I told them. How is that? He just told me, Im sorry he just made a mistake. It wasnt the first problem I had with them. For weeks I tried to log in in my account to see my account balance and I couldnt not. I contacted for help but they even never got me to log in to my account. I am on my right to think they were just scamming trying to get my money. I made a a dispute and XXXX deleted the report, but they posted it again, I made another report, they deleted it and after a year it appeared again. But this time XXXX didnt paid attention to my report.

Here it is XXXX and I was surprised to see that this amount was still being deducted from my account.

I asked them to send me a copy of the agreement with my signature and they stated that it was a virtual signature taken via my credit card at the time of purchases. I have paid this company {$1000.00} thus far and informed me that I could buy out my dishwasher for {$180.00}. more. So basically I have paid them for 2 dishwashers ... DO NOT USE WhynotLease

Apparently, an account was opened with my name, SSN and information on XX/XX/2018. I found out this year that this was a family member who was using my identity to open accounts and not pay what was owed. A collection was opened and I successfully disputed with XXXX and XXXX earlier this year with no issues. XXXX, for some reason, denied the dispute and will not let me try again. Ive tried reaching out to XXXX but I have not been able to get in touch with anyone, or speak to a human over the phone. Ive also tried contacting the original creditor, Tempoe, and they have ignored all my emails.

XXXX XXXX XXXX added it back and when i try to contact them i dont get any response. They are not the original owner of the collection. They also list payments that was never made. They said i made a payment of {$220.00} but i have not aid anything. The original amount was {$1300.00} and that is the current balance so that shows no payments was made. Also they are making false statments about me being late when i didnt even know anything about them having the collection or that i was supposed to make a payment so how can it be late.

It wasnt until XXXX when I discovered there was a balance owed placed in my credit report. I reached out to the original creditor, Tempo 09 LLC to no resolve. They told me I needed to send them receipts as proof. Why would I still have receipts years later?! This account was then sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Ive previously reached out to them as well with no resolve. I have disputed this charge multiple times yet it is still showing as bad debt on XXXX and XXXX ( was removed from XXXX in XXXX ). Ive paid this debt already!

I have disputed this account with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I have sent them proof of address for the time that this account was opened fraudulently in my name yet the account keeps coming back verified. The account address, is linked to an address that I have never lived at before. Although I provided them with an expired Driver License ( obtained ) during that time, a voter 's registration card, and bank statement, all with the correct address during the time the account was created, they will not remove the account. The company did send me an some sort of contract showing that the account was opened online, however the address does not match any address I have ever lived at.

I noticed a collections on my credit report on ( XX/XX/2021 ) for the amount of {$300.00} The account was opened on ( XX/XX/2021 ) apparently. The lender was a company I've never heard of, Claiming I took out a loan in a different state. The lender refused to cooperate with any investigation as to who opened an account with them in my name. The lender will not tell me what the loan was for, or show proof that I was the one who opened the account. Apparently whoever opened the account had my SSN and that's good enough for them. It's an obvious scam. The Lender assures me that if i just give them a little bit of money they will go away and I won't have to worry about them any more.

I also see that they charged me a {$20.00} return fee for a failed payment on XX/XX/XXXX! This is incorrect because I paid them EARLY and they attempted to charge me TWICE!

The main complaint is that this company is, has and will continue to use deceptive and misleading practices to collect debt in the State of Georgia, they do not have a certificate of authority to do business in the State of Georgia. Additionally, they are using their deceptive and fraudulent practices to negative impact the credit reports and scores of the consumers it interacts with. The company is not authorized to do business in Georgia, but fraudulently collected monies from me and continues to report erroneous, inaccurate and negative information to the credit bureaus. Consequently, I have been negatively impacted, denied credit and suffered harm.

In XXXX, an appliance was lease from XXXX. When the appliance was shipped it was defected ( there was a large dent and groove on the freezer door/ it was caved in ) and a report was made. XXXX offered to have the appliance picked up and replaced. A pickup delivery date was set. XXXX never replaced the appliance and a call was made to the company several times. I learned that XXXX filed bankruptcy and went out of business. In the meantime, my debit card was still being charged and payments were still being made. XXXX went out of business and never replaced the defected item. A new and functioning appliance was made from another company.

Several months after I was unable to keep up with the payments when I had an extended illness, having XXXX twice in 6 months that had a long recovery each time. The company eventually stopped contacting me, they werent reporting this on my credit reports at any agency until a few months ago. Suddenly, after 5 years they are intentionally trying to damage my credit by reporting this on my reports and calling me regarding this old account. This is way outside the collection window.

Thank you CFPB. I disputed this debt on my credit reports by using the dispute options with all XXXX credit bureaus. My dispute explained that the bill was paid on time with the original creditor and it was never in danger of going to collections. I had no idea it was in collections because I paid it. After I disputed the debt, the collection company still kept reporting the debt on my credit reports. This negatively impacted all of my credit scores by reducing my credit scores. This hindered me from using my credit while this collection account appeared on my credit reports.

They don't tell you that after 3 months that they automatically take your purchases out of lease to own and basically you start rented the items. No one tells you about this. So, you believe that one day that the payments will end and you will own the items. That's what they told me in the store! That this is a lease to own. Make the payments and at the end of a period of time you own the merchandise. This is total FRAUD!

Today, XX/XX/XXXX is my first time hearing of this debt. The guy stated he is a compliance officer and he was sending my information to have me arrested for grand theft if I didnt pay for a debt. He wouldnt tell me what the debt was for. And continues to hang up in my face. Then After the third call he forward me to processing saying that he already sent my file to have me picked up in 24 hours. This was so humiliating as I didnt even know what this was for.
