Complaint:
I am writing to submit a formal complaint against EQUIFAX located in XXXX, GA ; XXXX located in XXXX, TX and XXXX located in XXXX, PA. This company has consistently violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, resulting in substantial financial and emotional distress. To start, they have reported an inaccurate and unverifiable account on my credit report, and despite my requests for proof of claim as mandated by the FCRA, they have been unable to provide the necessary documentation. Despite my persistent efforts to resolve this matter over the past several months, EQUIFAX, XXXX AND XXXX has chosen to disregard my communications and legal submissions aimed at rectifying this inaccurate information on my credit report. It is disconcerting to note that there are numerous other complaints against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices, yet they continue to operate with impunity. The unprofessional and negligent conduct of EQUIFAX, XXXX AND XXXX has caused significant harm not only to my ability to establish credit and secure favorable interest rates but also to my professional standing and personal well-being. I urgently request your assistance in putting an immediate halt to these unethical and immoral business practices, not only for my benefit but also for the countless other consumers facing similar issues. I genuinely appreciate your time and assistance in addressing this matter and eagerly await your response.

EXPERIAN Violated The United States Code Law I'm annoyed that they have fused the information on my credit profile and that they have failed to keep up reasonable techniques in their exercises to ensure most limited possible precision in the credit reports they disseminate.

Complaint:
I reported a case of fraud on my XXXX XXXX  credit card to CFPB, Case # XXXX. Though CFPB 's intervention resulted in a XXXX XXXX  investigation, and a promise to reverse the charges, I now learn that my credit rating has been downgraded by XXXX points. This incident was reported as a delinquency and the bank never corrected the problem with the credit reporting agencies. XXXX XXXX  should have informed the credit bureaus that this was a matter of fraud and ensured that it had no negative impact on my credit rating. 

I have always had excellent credit. This matter took place because of no fault of my own but was entirely due to the lack of adequate security at XXXX XXXX. I have spent many hours on the phone with the bank representatives, and in written correspondence exchanges to get this situation resolved. And now, as you can see from the credit card statement I received yesterday from XXXX XXXX, instead of identifying the problem as fraud, it lists numerous " adjustments '' that are labeled as reverse charges. XXXX XXXX  has mishandled this entire matter from the beginning.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
This complaint is simply to notify you of my intent to sue your company for the persistent violations of my consumer rights per the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Federal Trade Commission as well as to give you one last chance to remove these erroneous accounts from my credit report immediately. 

1. Proof of repeated attempts to dispute and resolve this frivolous account directly with your agency over the past several months. I have copies of the several dispute letters sent to and received by you.

2. Proof of your repeated frivolous Verified responses. I have proof from these data furnishers stating that you never contacted them to investigate.

3. Proof of your refusal to sufficiently investigate, including recorded phone calls that can be used in a court of law.

4. Proof that you have refused to forward ALL proof and documentation that I have provided to you for the data furnisher in regards to my dispute.

5. Proof of your repeated violations to continue sharing and profiting from inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable information about me to potential creditors.

I have all the proof that I need to take you to court and win as, by law, you are not allowed to report this information as you have been, especially for a debt that is NOT MINE.

Therefore, I have every right to take you to court to seek damages for what you have put me through. However, it would be more beneficial to me to have this account removed sooner than later and thus, the reason for me giving you, literally, ONE MORE CHANCE to do the right thing and resolve this matter outside of court, saving you more than approximately {$10000.00}.

I've counted at least 10 violations of my rights to date and most of which, you have violated on multiple occasions so if I do pursue legal ramifications, then you will not only be looking at FINES of {$1000.00} per occurrence ( totaling $ 10,000- {$20000.00} ), but you will also be looking at whatever monetary damages that the court sees fit to award me, including legal fees.

Please do the right thing and remove these inaccurate accounts from my credit reports within the next 15 days and I will NOT move forward with my intent to sue. OR you can simply ignore this letter, as you have repeatedly done so in the past, tacking onto the repeated violations you've already made, and take this thing to court where we will settle it there.

If I do not hear from you within the next 15 days, then I will simply check my credit report again in 15 days. And if you are still reporting inaccuracies at that time, then I will have to assume that you have chosen to ignore my requests for a resolution to this erroneous information yet, once again.

Complaint:

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
This letter is in reply to your letter dated XX/XX/2023, in response to my complaint dated XX/XX/2023. In my letter dated XX/XX/2023, I disputed the {$850.00} debt that you are attempting to collect. Additionally, I requested verification of the alleged debt pursuant to my rights under the FDCPA. With respect to my verification request under the FDCPA, I requested a copy of a signed contract. Additionally, I requested that you cease and desist all collection activity, including credit reporting. That is, I requested that you delete any and all reporting made to any consumer reporting agencies. You have failed to address my very specific legal requests and are in clear violation of the FDCPA. 

First, you failed to obtain and send verification of the alleged debt by not mailing me a contract. Instead of sending me a signed contract or agreement as requested, you forwarded copies of monthly credit card statements. Credit Card statements are not a contract or agreement and are nonresponsive to my verification request. Under the FDCPA, it is unfair or unconscionable to attempt to collect an alleged debt in any amount that is not expressly authorized by an agreement creating the debt or permitted by Law. 

Furthermore, the credit card statements do not verify nor confirm my personal information. Specifically, my social security number. I received a debt validation letter from the original alleged creditor, XXXX  XXXX and as indicated in the attached debt validation letter the social number associated with the alleged debt is NOT my social security number ( last 4 ). 

I have attached a copy of your initial response, as well as the letter from the original creditor.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 I made a payment of {$3400.00} to my credit card which lead to overpayment of {$3200.00} before traveling out, when I returned back from my travel I then found out that my card has been restricted for whatever reason which I called capital one for them to remove or resolve the restriction and they never did after 2 weeks of patiently waiting I then wrote a letter to them asking them to close my capital credit card and reimburse me back my remaining funds as a check. 
After some days of writing to them I noticed that on XX/XX/2023 my remaining credit which was left was taken from my credit and when I called they said that I should wait for my check which will take XXXX to arrive, and I have waited and called severally but still they kept sending my call to XXXX support who gave me no reasonable explanation regarding on what the charge is for. 

Despite my efforts to matter directly with capital one, the response has been unsatisfactory, leading me to seek redress through this legal system. I believe this this wrongful depletion of funds constitute a violation of FCRA section 611 and has caused significant financial harm.
