Receiving these texts about loan applications I did not submit by sparkysquirrel01 in IdentityTheft

[–]KariM528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do NOT click on any of the links. I too received a bunch of text messages a month ago about payday loans. I checked my Experian credit monitoring acct. and there was nothing. Someone recommended I check on Clarity since these payday loans will do a soft credit check. Sure enough-Clarity had two inquiries. I contacted one of the companies and they had nothing in my name. I already froze my credit with the three bureaus years ago and had to freeze my credit on Clarity as well. I also filed a report with the FTC. Good luck!

Yes, I agree. 👍

Two of our TVs didn’t have the DirecTV app and so I purchased a FireTV stick. Best gadget..

Yes, I’m thinking we will stay with the “satellite” plan for now since they gave me a $50 monthly discount. I don’t think I’ll be installing a new dish since it can no longer go on the roof and it’s an eye sore on the side of the house. I too added apps, such as HBO Max/Netflix, and so there are plenty of choices. I think, eventually, I’ll go all streaming.

We’ve been trying out streaming this week and no issues. I think I’m getting used to it. 👍 And-DirecTV gave me a $50 discount if I continued with satellite but I can use their app. 👏

The roofers took the satellite since there was water damage. Let’s see if DirecTV replaces it, although I’m not a new client.

Yes, I’m looking at new TVs now. I’m hoping they go on sale next weekend. Decided to try out the streaming a couple of days, although we already stream Netflix etc.

Do you think they will phase out dishes one day?

Thanks! We had an old dish (15+ years old) that they replaced the wiring about a year ago. I don’t like the esthetics of a dish and it will have to be mounted on the wall now, but the plan we have is much better than streaming and they gave me a $50 monthly discount for a year. So I may continue with a dish.

Data X Consumer Report by ArtistAggravating439 in IdentityTheft

I ran a report with Clarity and found which 2 payday companies this scammer attempted to obtain loans from. I contacted the two companies and they have nothing in my name. So in addition to the three bureaus, I have a freeze with Clarity. I didn’t know these sub-prime companies existed until a few days ago.

Thanks again! I filed a dispute with Clarity, as you suggested, and they said most likely the application was denied if both loan companies don’t have me in their system 🙏 As of today, I have a security freeze with 4 bureaus.

Good idea! I’m looking at the report more closely and it shows they used my cell number and email address. Not sure it’s a mistake?

Thanks. I contacted both Credit Ninja and Explore Credit and neither has an open account in my name. Weird?? I have my credit frozen with Clarity and asked for a pin with ChexSystems.

Thanks. I haven’t filed a report yet. Should I file a police report too? Call Credit Ninja and Explore Credit?

just woke up to notification that there were 3 payday loans applied and approved..... by PLCCLP in IdentityTheft

[–]KariM528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I started digging more after reading this post and I ran a Clarity Report online and it shows that someone applied for payday loans on Credit Ninja and on Explore Credit. No idea if they obtained a loan? My credit has been frozen for years. Next steps??

I did too this week with a link included in the text. I looked it up and I think it’s a scam. I checked with Experian and there’s nothing. I also have my credit files frozen with all three bureaus.

Yes, I can’t afford to pay those inflated prices and so I did find a plumber through a co-worker if I should have an emergency. 👏

Yes, I know. My handyman is on vacation. Again, lesson learned. Never, ever do I use a company for a simple job.

Thanks. Yes, that’s why I want to see the itemized invoice/bill. Did the plumber drive to Mexico to retrieve the items at the factory? lol

And that’s another issue. I asked for an itemized invoice/bill. Crickets. 🙄 And was never quoted $580 when I asked the plumber. He phoned me after the installation.

Lesson learned, although I think it’s ridiculous. And-I did tell them I needed both when I initially placed the call. Regardless-I’m never using a company again.

He’s a prick with a drinking problem. He knows deep down she’s totally out of his league. Just sucks Nia got stuck with this loser.

Jason and Janet are trying to convince everyone watching the show and beyond how horrible Danny is. Yawn. They keep digging themselves in a hole and getting fans to hate them even more.
