Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against Receivable Management Services LLC for committing identity theft. I have never given Receivable Management Services LLC any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe. I am aware that in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 12 ). 
I have never received any documentation requesting validation from Receivable Management Services LLC before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If Receivable Management Services LLC can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. 

I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until Receivable Management Services LLC can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and Receivable Management Services LLC continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and Receivable Management Services LLC will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

Complaint:
I received a letter from CFPB stating that this claim was closed to protect my privacy because you all did not think this was me. The claim that i am not trying to fix my own credit using my own resources and knowledge is frivolous as it does not make sense due to the fact that during the initial submission of the original complaint, I selected that it was me submitting the claim on behalf of me, so how do you send a letter saying that it's not me. How can you deny me a proper investigation or research but not approach the furnisher of data with the same efforts. I have sent multiple written letters sent via certified mail to the original creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX asking for verification of this debt, I've sent multiple letters asking for verification of this debt to the current collection agency NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS and have not received a response. I have proof and documentation of all communication to each of these individual companies and not one of them has provided me with the proper documentation that verifies this debt is mine as i have continued to express THIS ACCOUNT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY DUE TO BEINT FRAUDELENT ; I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ACCOUNT ; I have been in contact with all 3 credit reporting bureaus and was able to successfully have this account deleted from XXXX due to it not being able to be verified as mine however XXXX and XXXX Continue to state that the account meets FCRA guidelines and the account has been verified. NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS has never proved this debt belongs to me legally, as to why it was removed from XXXX, so please explain to me how it is still being verified as mine with other agencies if data furnishers are required to submit the same accurate information to each bureau.

Complaint:
XXXX XX/XX/2018 I used the free credit reports website to access and print off all three of my annual credit reports. My name is unusual, and all three had multiple incorrect listings. I attempted to alert them to this, but the only avenue they provide is as a dispute, which must be handled they say via email. So email address and, weirdly, a password were required. Today, XXXX XX/XX/2018, I received an email from TransUnion congratulating me on being signed up for their service, only {$19.00}, no word or way to correct the names listing, and no email reply accepted. So I went to their online customer service page, which provides a phone number. Which I called, waiting some minutes, and finally spoke with " XXXX '', poor man. XXXX required my social security number, name, mailing address, pulled up my file, listened to my request to correct my name, then started telling me he had to ask me questions to verify my identity -- the same questions I'd answered the day before online. By now I'd spent 40 minutes on this and was becoming angry. He began asking the questions, but began to break up so I could not hear the multiple choices to answer, which I told him. I also said this was a ridiculous way for TransUnion to behave, apologized for my angry voice, that I wasn't mad at him but at his company, and that I couldn't hear him and was going to hang up. I also said I was going to complain about this bait and switch, starting with my state 's attorney general, and I hung up. I didn't contact the attorney general, I contacted you. 

My last name is two separate and equal words, which computers sometimes can not handle. Even so, I have had to correct only one account in the last 20 years, with XXXX XXXX. So there is no reasonable explanation for all these aliases. I also have two middle names, which complicates things somewhat but honestly, it can't be impossible in this day and age to get somebody's name right. Social Security can. I bet the IRS can, too. OK, that's it : incorrect names and trying to say I signed up for a service I did not sign up for when they know perfectly well they can themselves report my failure to pay them as a ding on my credit. Pretty furious at them. Hope you can help.

Complaint:
These Bureau 's continue to report unvalidated information on my credit report. Ive requested numerous times that this debt from XXXX XXXX be deleted from my consumer report due to lack of validation and proof that it was authorized by myself. I've even reached out to XXXX and there has been no response back. My next step is to file a civil suit against this bureau due to their lack of following the law and procedure. This action violates FCRA SEC 623, and is defamation and willful injury. I called and one of the reps was very rude to me. Another rep hung up in my face after asking the process of how these accounts are validated before they are placed on our consumer report. The rep pretty much said there is no PROOF required and its the company 's word against the consumer. Which is odd, so the consumer has to submit proof that its not theirs but the company submitting is not required to send contract binding proof that this alleged negative account belongs to the consumer. This sounds like ill will and character assassination in my opinion.How is this accurate and fair reporting if the accounts are not investigated before communication with the consumer or proof of a binding contract from the company submitting the information, and how is this permissible seeing that I am not in any consumer credit transaction with your company. Please explain this.Per 15 U.S.Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) - CRAs need written instruction to make a consumer report by the consumer. Per 15 U.S.Code 1681c-2 ( a ) with appropriate proof of the identity, a copy of an identity theft report, and a statement by I, the consumer stating the information in connection with XXXX XXXX is not relating to any transaction by myself, XXXX XXXX and XXXX are required to place a block on my consumer report on the information associated with XXXX. This information would not be blocked in error, if you feel there is misrepresentation or there was any possession of goods, services, or money obtained please send me a statement signed under the penalty of perjury with evidence of this counterclaim. I've submitted an identity theft report along with a police report explaining how I did not authorize this account to be opened and that this unauthorized account is still being reported on my consumer report. As the consumer I'm entitled to know how these accounts are verified and Experian and XXXX refusal to cooperate is unacceptable and goes against my consumer rights under FCRA.
