      On January 21, 2022, your branch made an unauthorized withdrawal from my bank account in the amount of $150.52 after receiving full payment of the outstanding debt on January 13, 2022. The excess in funds had caused me to receive an NSF paid fee and my card declined while buying groceries for my children. This business has not tried to resolve the issue.

      Ask to have my January payment defered and was granted but on the 4th of January the payment was taken out which left me over drawn ,i notified the local branch on the 5th when i found out . I am still trying to get a refund which they say is coming but this almost a week now phoned again today and was told "will check into and call back "that is what i have been hearing every time i call but never hear back .My bank charged me $48.00 for over draft and they returned my rent payment and my landlord is charging me $50.00 for not have the money in my account. I don't think it is right that i should be penalized because of their mistake and would like to have some thing done thank you .

      This seems to be a ******* issue , they have cross reference theses customers credit file.
      Not much I can do here , the customer would need to direct his complaint to the credit bureau and not Fairstone.

      These complaint should be referred to the credit profile as this is there error and not Faitstone’s.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because: ******* canada sent you a request which you ignored, and even your collection agency noticed they have been reporting to the wrong credit bureau. Ill give you until Friday to have this pulled and my credit bureau fixed if any failire to do so I will take the appropriate legal actions against fairstone and sue your agency. Your mistake not mine. P.s No ******* did not merge two files together that was caused by your collection agency reporting it to the wrong bureau after they bought that PERSONS account from you. You have until friday to remove it and restore my credit bureau failure to do so will lead to a law suite which will include all damages to my family and I personally, Our expenses for accomidations ***** * **** ** ****** ** **** ** ****** **** * *****, storage costs and all legal costs.

      Sincerely,

      Good Morning,
      We are still waiting on feedback from ******* , I have contacted them yesterday for a follow up , they have assured me this case has been place under “ RUSH” 
      And is being investigated , this complaint should really have been directed to ******* and not Fairstone as this is a credit bureau error and not a Fairstone issue.
      However , I’m doing my best to assist the customer , will get back to you asap.

      Hope to be satisfactory
