Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I currently owe a small debt ( {$400.00} ) to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I managed to reach out to them to pay off this debt at one point, but they refused to send me any sort of documentation for proof of debt/debt being paid. Instead, they insisted I simply " just send the money in ''. When I asked for some sort of written documentation they refused. 

Now I try to call them to pay off debt and again see if I can just get some documentation on the debt itself, and no one ever picks up nor returns my calls/emails. 

I'm fully willing and more than capable to pay off this debt, I just want it done with as it's doing harm to my credit.

Issue: Trouble using the card
Sub-issue: Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online

Complaint:
I arrived on US soil as a foreign national under humanitarian circumstances. Specifically, having been rescued from the ocean by the coastguard off the coast of California. I was dumped on the streets and have managed to receive some charitable assistance however, I realised that I needed a means to make a necessary purchase online.

I purchased a prepaid debit card from a XXXX store and paid {$65.00} plus the setup fee at the checkout. This was the majority of the meagre cash I had to survive. 

Only after opening the package did I discover that a US Social Security number would be required to use the card! being a foreign national, I have no such number, so the funds are now trapped in the card and the card is unusable. 

I asked the staff at XXXX to refund the {$65.00} I paid to them, but they refused citing ( reasonably ) that they can't tell if the card has already been used, so can't make the refund. 

I can't afford to lose {$65.00}, so I contacted the company by email and although they acknowledged the email, I have received no response to the complaint and request for refund.

Complaint:
Upon reviewing my recent consumer report, I discovered the presence of bankruptcies that should not be included. After conducting research on relevant laws, I have come to understand that your actions are in violation of 15 U.S Code 1681 a ( 4 ) - the Consumer Right to Privacy. It is my right as a consumer to have these bankruptcies removed from my credit report, as well as to have my personal information protected and not released without my consent. I find your actions completely unacceptable.

I want to emphasize that I am a victim of identity theft, and your organization may be held criminally and civilly liable for its actions. I urge you to handle this complaint in a thorough and appropriate manner. If the situation is not resolved to my satisfaction, I want to make it clear that I will not hesitate to pursue legal action against your company. 

I expect immediate attention to this matter and a swift resolution. Please acknowledge receipt of this complaint and provide a detailed plan of action to rectify the situation. Failure to comply will leave me with no choice but to take legal measures to protect my rights.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a bill in the mail from Midland Credit Management ( MCM ), a debt collection company. The bill states that an account was opened with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX in my name. The bill in the amount of {$730.00} defaulted on XX/XX/XXXX and was sent to MCM on XX/XX/XXXX. I called MCM on XX/XX/XXXX and informed them that this account is fraudulent. They told me they would mail the information they have on the account to me. They also told me that once I look over this information, I should call them back to continue the process of disputing the debt ( which I plan on doing today ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I received the information they mailed me on the account. The documents state that the account was opened in my name on XX/XX/XXXX. The item that was purchased with the account is described as a grey dresser. The person who opened the account provided an address in Florida and an email address. I immediately recognized that this person resides in the same state where identity theft has happened to me in the past. On XX/XX/XXXX, an individual used a fake drivers license with my name and address on it to attempt to take out an auto loan. I immediately reported this incident to the company and local authorities. I was advised to freeze my credit on all 3 credit bureaus, which I did. In XXXX, XXXX, I needed to unfreeze my credit for a credit check for an apartment rental. Upon doing this, I started seeing several credit inquiries from Florida. I notified the credit bureaus and froze my credit once again. My credit has been frozen since XX/XX/XXXX. This current incident was done without pulling my credit. This individual used my name and social security number to open the account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit.

I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me.

I've already notified the appropriate creditors about these phony accounts, and I've sent along all the supporting paperwork needed to confirm the accounts ' late payments.

I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. If there is any confusion, I suggest you contact myself or NISSAN-INFINITI LT customer service. 


I am aware that you have 30 days after receiving a customer dispute to look into disputed information in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I implore you to act quickly to settle this matter and make the necessary updates to my credit record. 

In addition, after the required adjustments have been made, I would like a copy of the updated credit report as well as written confirmation of the removal.
