      Consumer: *********** ******
      Complaint ID: ********

      Dear Ms. R*****:

      This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint filed with your office on November 14, 2022. The
      allegations of the complaint have been investigated.

      Mr. ****** obtained the account from our Alamogordo, NM office on December 29, 2021, in the amount of $680.00
      and agreed to repay it in (8) monthly installments of $85.00 beginning January 29, 2022. Seven payments were
      received totaling $390.00, and the date of first delinquency is listed as October 31, 2022. World received a payoff in
      the amount of $49.75 on November 11, 2022.

      World understands that you would like the negative information on your credit report removed however, World is
      required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) to report the information timely and accurately to the bureaus.
      In order to obtain positive payment history, payments must be paid in full amount due on or before the set due date.
      Paying less than full or after the due date will result in negative credit reporting and may result in late charges and/or
      added interest. Negative reporting marks remain on credit reports for a period of 7 to 10 years based on the first
      date of delinquency, not the contract start date.

      Based on the review of the account, the information reported to the Agencies is correct and according to industry
      standards. If Mr. ****** has any additional issues with how the Agencies are reporting the account data, he may
      dispute it directly with them.

      If Mr. ****** has any additional questions regarding this account, he may contact our Customer Care center at 1-
      ************ so we may be of further assistance.

      Consumer: ***** ******
      Complaint ID: ********

      Dear Ms. R*****:

      This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint filed with your office on November 10,
      2022. The allegations of the complaint have been investigated.

      Ms. ****** obtained her account from our Columbus, GA office on February 20, 2020, in the amount of
      $693.00 and agreed to repay it in (9) monthly installments of $77.00 beginning April 03, 2020. Three
      payments were received totaling $767.44, and the date of first delinquency is listed as October 31, 2020.
      World received a payoff in the amount of $26.14 on March 17, 2021.

      In Ms. ******’ complaint she stated that World is in violation of 15 U.S. §1681, FCRA §602 (a) and 15
      U.S. §1681, FCRA §604(a)(2). World’s position is that those regulations are concerning credit reporting
      agencies (“Agencies”). World is not an Agency, nor do we publish credit reports. World’s obligation
      under FCRA is to furnish accurate account information for a total of seven years from the date of first
      delinquency to the Agencies.

      Based on the review of the account, the information furnished to the Agencies is correct and according
      to industry standards. If Ms. ****** has any additional issues with how the Agencies are reporting the
      account data, she may dispute it directly with them.

      If Ms. ****** would like to make settlement arrangements or has any additional questions regarding this
      account, she may contact our Customer Care center at **************.

      I took out a loan with Security Finance, *** ** **** St., * ** ** NM 87901 for $680.00 on 3/29/22. I paid it faithfully every month. Security Finance went out of business in May, 2022. I asked where I should make the payments for the balance of $295.00. I was told that they would contact me. I wasn't told who "they" were. Nobody contacted me. On 11/4/22, I discovered that my credit had been ruined. My credit score went from close to 584 to 489. World Finance Corp., **** **** St., * ** *, NM 87901 had reported my payments were delinquent to TransUnion, which I have a dispute filed. On 11/7/22, I called World Finance and spoke to the supervisor, Carol, who was completely unhelpful. She kept saying that they had sent notices every month and I did not respond to them. I kept telling her I never received them. Finally, I asked her what address she was sending them to. It was the wrong address: **** ******** instead of **** *****. I asked her to retract the damage to my credit score and she said not until the loan is completely paid off. She also had the audacity to say that I had paid the May, 2022 payment at World Finance instead of Security Finance, which is incorrect and I have proof. So my credit score has to be in the gutter for the next four months because of their idiotic mistake. Also they are charging me a late fee of $12.75 which is unjust. The account # for Secuity Finance is ***** and the account # for World Finance is *********. I didn't notice that Security Finance started putting the wrong address on my receipts until after this fiasco. My husband has acute COPD and I often have to take care of him, which is quite a substantial distraction in my life. I can't always be expected to run behind people I'm doing business with as a customer and correct their mistakes.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. 




      Regards,



      ******* ****

       

      The crux of the problem is that somehow World Finance Corporation had an incorrect address for me, thus, couldn't contact me and give me a bill.  The address World Finance Corporation had:  **** ** ********, * ** *, NM  87901.  My correct address, which I gave to Security Finance Corporation years ago, is **** ***** St., * ** *, NM  87901.  Last May, when Security Finance went out of business, I asked Bertha where I am supposed to make the rest of my payments.  She said "they" will contact you.  She didn't say who "they" are.  This is why I never received any bills or knowledge of who I am supposed to make payments to.  Because of this situation, which I had no control over, my credit is now ruined.

      Dear Ms. R*****:

      This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint filed with your office on October 17, 2022. The
      allegations of the complaint have been investigated.

      Ms. ****** received a loan from our Urbana, IL branch on June 06, 2019, in the amount of $497.00, under the name
      ***** ******. No payments were made on the account, and it was charged off on November 20, 2019. The date of
      first delinquency is listed as September 30, 2019. The account was transferred internally to World branch #**** and
      assigned account number ************ in April of 2021. Please see the attached contract and the account’s
      transactional activity as evidence.

      In her complaint Ms. ****** stated that she has disputed this account and no response was received. As of the date
      of this response World has not received a direct dispute letter; however, several electronic disputes from the credit
      reporting agencies (“Agencies”) were received. World responded to the Agencies within the timeframe allowed by
      the FCRA. The most recent response was sent on October26, 2022.

      Based on the review of the account the information reported to the Agencies is correct and according to industry
      standards. If Ms. ****** has any additional issues with how the Agencies are reporting the account data, she may
      dispute it directly with them.

      In the month of June 2022 someone opened a fraudulant World Finance account #**** at a World Finance location in ****** ****, GA and was given a loan for over. Their loan compliance and branch manager Jessica H***** (tele. 404-********), reached out to me in early August by pulling my credit (2 hard pulls against my credit, one for loan and other to obtain a contact number). During this call she advised me that she reviewed the file and noticed that the drivers license was fraudulent and that the address used was not valid. At her direction, I traveled to a World Finance office near my home in *************, GA to submit a copy of my drivers license, proof of residency, and a utility bill and completed an Identity Theft Victim Complaint and Affidavit and had it notarized. I had to schedule some time off work to be able to complete a police report. Once the police report was filed and ready for pick up, I needed some additional time off to be able to go pick it up. Jessica H***** then informed me that I needed to send in a color photo ID as the one they copied at the ************* office was not in color. Therefore I sent both the color ID and copy of the police report to *************worldacceptance.com. I followed up on this weekly and it has yet to be resolved. I have made multiple calls, sent emails, filed an additional ID theft Affidavit #********* with the Federal Trade Commission and sent to World Acceptance Corporation via FEDEX without resolution. Now my credit is negatively impacted by this situation. My credit has late payments since July that have been reflected on my credit report and my credit score has dropped over 100 points in the last 3 months related to this fraudulent account that World Finance knows is fradulant as they notified me of the issue in July 2022. I am in this predicament due to their employees not conducting sufficient document validation and scrutinizing loan requests. This issue must be resolved and my cedit worthiness restored.

      I've made several to a young lady at one of the location to not make contact with me. She was rude very disrespectful. I then ask to have my account transfer to another Branch. She refuse. I called the corporate office and ask for this transfer as well as. I was told it will be done. This call was made in the first week of Oct.

      Once again she called. I I requested again for her not call, I assisted she can not call because I requested to be transfer to a different branch, she tells me I have to get a new loan of I want that to happen. I told her I was filling chapter 7. I called the corporate office again and demand of this change and a call back from a much higher supervisor. No call was return.
      Nov 3rd she calling again by Law she can not call me once I told her to cease all contact with me, I made her aware this case will be disputed in a chapter 7, due to her harassment calls. I will deal with another branch but not hers.
      If I get another call from her or the Kenosha branch I will presceed with legal actions.

      Mr. ******** received a loan from the Hoover, AL branch on July 12, 2016, in the amount of $900.00. and agreed

      Mr. ******** is requesting the validation of the contract this account. Mr. ******** was provided a copy of his
      loan contract at the time he obtained his loan on July 12, 2016. Attached is that contract with Mr. ********’s
      signature.

      In his complaint Mr. ******** stated that World has re-aged his debt. World has not re-aged his debt as the date
      of first delinquency remains as November 30, 2016. World will continue to furnish account information to the
      Agencies for a period of seven years from the date of first delinquency, as it is our obligation under the Fair Credit
      Reporting Act (“FCRA”).

      Additionally, Mr. ******** stated in his complaint that the balance keeps increasing. The account is subject to
      additional interest based on the unpaid balance. Please reference the highlighted section of the attached contract,
      bearing Mr. ********’s signature, under INTEREST AFTER MATURITY which states: “If you do not pay all that you
      owe on or before your final due date, you will pay interest on the amount that is still unpaid at the Annual Percentage
      Rate stated above.”

      Based on the review of the account, the information reported to the credit reporting agencies is correct and
      according to industry standards. If Mr. ******** has any additional issues with how the Agencies are reporting the
      account data, he may dispute it directly with them.

      If Mr. ******** has any additional questions regarding this account, he may contact our Customer Care center at
      ************** so we may be of further assistance.

      Sincerely,

      I contacted World Finance in regard to a loan I owed. I spoke with Sarah at the Pekin office, and she offered me a settlement amount. I was told it would satisfy my debt with them and it would be considered paid in full & satisfied. Now they are reporting to the credit bureaus that I have not paid my account in full, and I still owe $141.00.

      Re: World Finance Corporation of Illinois (“World”)
      Consumer: ****** ******
      Complaint ID: ********

      Dear Ms. R*****:

      This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint filed with your office on October 17, 2022. The
      allegations of the complaint have been investigated.

      Ms. ****** obtained the account from our Pekin, IL office on September 12, 2019, in the amount of $560.00 and
      agreed to repay it in (8) monthly installments of $70.00 beginning October 12, 2019. World received one payment
      totaling $80.00, and the date of first delinquency is listed as January 31, 2020. The Account was charged off due to
      non-payments on April 20, 2020. A settlement payment of $422.25 was received on March 18, 2021.

      In her complaint Ms. ****** stated that World did not keep an agreement to remove her account from her credit
      report. World disagrees as it is our policy not to participate in ‘Pay-to-delete’ settlements. Ms. ******’s account is
      being furnished to the credit reporting agencies (“Agencies”) as ‘settled/closed for less than the full balance’.

      Based on the review of the account, the information reported to the Agencies is correct and according to industry
      standards. If Ms. ****** has any additional issues with how the Agencies are reporting the account data, she may
      dispute it directly with them.

      If Ms. ****** has any additional questions regarding this account, she may contact our Customer Care center at 1-
      ************ so we may be of further assistance.

      Sincerely,

      Customer: ***** ******
      Complaint ID: ********

      Dear Ms. R*****:

      This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint filed with your office on October 14, 2022. The allegations of
      the complaint have been investigated.

      In her complaint Ms. ****** also stated that World is operating under the name of WORLD FIN and that the address of
      **** **** ** *********** ** ***** is inaccurate. World disagrees that we are operating under an abbreviated name. Please
      note that World does not control how credit reporting agencies (“Agencies”) or other companies might show World’s
      name on a consumer report. Further, the address stated is the home office location for World; however, our mailing
      address is ** *** ***** *********** ** *****.

      Ms. ****** also stated that Wold did not response to any of her letters. As of the date of this response World has not
      received a direct dispute letter; however, several electronic disputes from the credit reporting agencies (“Agencies”) were
      received. The responses to those were sent back to the Agency within the timeframe allowed by the Fair Credit Reporting
      Act. The most recent response was sent on October 04, 2022.

      World Acceptance Corporation takes allegations of identity theft seriously. As Mr. ****** believes the account was opened
      fraudulently, World needs the following items to continue the investigation:

      1. Clear copy of Ms. ******** government issued photo-identification (e.g., driver’s license, state-issued ID card,
      passport)

      2. Fully completed ID Theft Affidavit
      Available at https://www.identitytheft.gov

      3. Signed Police Report stating ID Theft
      As such, our investigation will include, but not be limited to, contacting the issuing Police or Sherriff’s Department
      to confirm their representation of the submitted materials.

      Please mail these documents to the following address so that we may investigate.
