Complaint:
Reporting Violation : Section 392.101 of the Texas Finance Code prohibits a third-party debt collector or credit bureau from engaging in debt collection in Texas unless the third-party debt collector or credit bureau has obtained a surety bond and filed a copy of the bond with the Office of the Secretary of State. 

After researching my state treasurers website ( SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS ) I found that Experian and several of these " creditors '', are NOT legally licensed in the State of Texas to operate as a debt collector or reporter. I have reported the bureau to the Texas State Treasury Violation Department. I have been notified that the illegally operating consumer bureau must delete the false information from my file or receive legal reciprocation. 

The following must be deleted immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint:
I called customer service to ask to have my credit limit raised since I had some major purchases coming. Actually I had already charged about a {$22000.00} trip to the account earlier in the month. The woman I spoke to asked a few routine questions which I answered. She said I have to close this account since you sold your business and this is a business account. I said I only sold 51 % to my daughter. I still own 49 % and still work there, am an officer, and still on the payroll, I asked her to please not cancel since I have at least 20 companies charging directly to the account. " Too late, its done ''. I appealed twice and was turned down both times to have my account restored. 
This account earns rewards which I accrue as I spend money. I was up to about {$1500.00} when they canceled the account around XX/XX/XXXX. That monthly statement would have ended around XX/XX/XXXX. I was told that since I canceled the account before the end of the month ( I canceled!!! ) I only get credit from the end of the previous month which was around {$450.00} I believe this was a totally self serving result. Unfair to say the least. They cancel the account and enrich themselves There was no reason to cancel. Please help.

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 to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I had 2 secured credit cards with XXXX XXXX. After receiving a unsecured card from another credit provider I called XXXX XXXX and asked them to close these 2 accounts and refund what monies I had left in my savings after the accounts were closed. They stated that the deposits will be used to credit the amount owed on the cards, which I had no problem with that. I wasn't looking for a big refund since I had a balance on both cards. 
I just wanted the accounts closed! They said that it would be taken care of. So I waited for my refund, but instead I got a statement on both accounts that they were past due. So I was charged a late fee and I called right away to find out why these accounts were not closed as requested. They stated it takes 15 day to make sure no further charges came through. So they continued charging me late fees and if I recall I think they charged me a over the limit fee. I told them I was not going to pay late fees and these accounts should have been closed and my little refund sent to me. So since I told them I was not paying any late fees. They kept reporting my account late until they finally sent it to collections and wrote it off as a charge-off and continued reporting it to all the bureaus. These account were secured and they should have been closed as they were asked. Nope let 's charge him late fees/over limit fees and write it off as a charge-off.
