Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX added a collection in XXXX of 2019. I contacted them directly in XXXX of this year. They directed me to I C System. The representative for the collection agency I spoke to provided the account information as well as the address for the account. The address on file is an address I have never been associated with. In XXXX the representative and I went through the steps of filing a fraudulent account claim. They assured me that the account would be deleted from all 3 of my credit reports.

He continued to say that even though the account was not mine and a fraudulent claim was filed, the account would continue to stay on all 3 bureaus until the balance was either paid in full or settled. I have never had XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX service.

Sub-issue: Billing dispute for services

Complaint:
There is an error on my consumer report furnished by XXXX XXXX. My consumer report has a fraudulent late payment being reported on account # XXXX, which is causing me damage as a consumer and limiting my ability to extend credit. XXXX XXXX XXXX  card is willfully and knowingly furnishing inaccurate information and defaming my character as a form of extortion. I have made them aware of this error well over a month ago and they are choosing to break the law. According to 15 U.S. Code, A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan late for any purpose. According to 12 CFR Appendix B to Part 1022 I never received any of the model notices stating that any negative information would be furnished to my consumer report. Why is this inaccurate information being reported when I have never received notice of the information. Congress has stated there shouldnt be any late payments? XXXX XXXX and the CRA 's ( XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX ) are attempting to harass me and violate my right as a consumer purposely. I was never given a reasonable way to opt or limit sharing my creditworthiness according to their privacy policy. Payment defined under 15 U.S Code 78m. Payment is define as commercial development of oil, natural gas, or minerals therefore what form of payment has XXXX XXXX been accepting? Is there a yield of the investment on the account due to me? Has the true nature and fitness of the agreement been provided to me? The inaccurate, false and fraudulent information being furnished on my personal consumer report needs to be corrected immediately as it is causing damage and defaming my character. I am demanding a response within an appropriate time of 5 business days to answer each concern I have raised in this complaint or I allege that there is a due yield of investment that has been misapplied as a billing error and shall be Returned back to me. I demand the error in question to be changed to paid as agreed to reflect 100 percent payment history. 

once again this late payment is in regards to : XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX Date : XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint:
I received a dunning letter from a XXXX part debt collector on a debt that I do not recognize. I attempted to get validation of debt from them by sending XXXX letters to them. I never received a satisfactory response. I then sent them an estoppel letter. ( see attached ). 

I just discovered that this debt collector has now filed a lawsuit and are posing as attorney 's representing the credit card company. It is my belief that they are nothing but interlopers that purchased this alleged debt for pennies on the dollar and are now attempting to collect the entire amount. 

I was not properly served to appear in court and never received notice of this action and have learned of this by an attorney that sent me a letter in the mail.

Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
Im a XXXX  from XXXX and I arrived here in the United States on XX/XX/2022. I tried looking for a credit card that doesnt need credit scores in order for me to apply since I havent established yet because Im new here in US XXXX My friends recommended Discover credit card and I tried that one. The application was easy, they just ask for gross annual income, monthly rent, and personal information, then youre approved already. The arrival of the credit card was prompt, upon acquiring it, I immediately activated it to start building credit score. After a week, I received a call and an email that I need to provide them a notarized form and a 3 month bank statement, which obviously I dont have since Im new here in the US , so I cant comply with that. I told them that I arrived XXXX of XXXX this year, so I thought I will be given consideration, but unfortunately they sticked to their deadline, leaving me no choice but to close the account. But before closing, I paid the pending payment. I asked them if this will affect my credit score, they dont know. They said I should just call the credit bureau, but I dont have any idea with that. As a newcomer in a foreign land, Im quite nervous since it might affect my credit score and unable to apply for other companies or banks because of that scenario. My friends also face this unfortunate case. I hope this will be resolved soon and give peace of mind to us new XXXX  here in the United States. Thank you.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have disputed directly with XXXX and Equifax both regarding XXXX. The account has been illegally re-aged! I have submitted dispute after dispute to no avail. There are so many inaccuracies within the way the account is being reported but after several disputes nothing has been done! The account type is missing which makes the account inaccurate in XXXX way. The number of terms is missing- inaccurate. XXXX failed to perform a proper investigation as the last date is XX/XX/XXXX! It was just disputed in XXXX of XXXX! Equifax failed to list to whom the account was sold to which is a violation! XXXX shows the last reported date as XX/XX/XXXX. Equifax shows XX/XX/XXXX. How is that even possible when the disputes were submitted at the same time. For sure less than 2 years ago! XXXX has the date last active as XX/XX/XXXX and Equifax has it listed as XX/XX/XXXX. That proves the account was illegally re-aged! XXXX has the date of last payment as XX/XX/XXXX and Equifax shows XX/XX/XXXX! How is that even possible when the information is supposed to be furnished by the same company? I believe it is a tactic to prolong how long the account is supposed to report on my credit file which is illegal! Equifax is reporting a payment history each month at OK while XXXX shows the account as charged off! If the account was sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX why is XXXX still reporting this account? I have sent both bureaus a dispute and they continue to ignore my dispute and report this inaccurate account with no regard. How can both these bureaus continue to report this account even though it is not 100 % accurate along with a serious FTC violation of re-aging? They are purposely damaging my credit file and causing me harm.
