These accounts and inquiries are involved in litigation and does not belong to me. I never established these accounts. These accounts are a result of fraud. I was contacted by a collection agency regarding the accounts that were obtained under my name. I have no knowledge of obtaining any of the accounts listed here in this affidavit report, and was told that I needed to complete this affidavit, along with submitting my personal identification to have the suspected fraudulent accounts investigated and removed immediately.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
My XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was paid off in full in XX/XX/XXXX. 

By XX/XX/XXXX I noticed the account still showed as active in my credit report and with a balance of ~ {$630.00}. 

I emailed XXXX with my concern. They said it may take 7 days from the final payment for the account to be reported closed to credit bureaus but it had already been 3 months since the final payment and this account still showed up as active in credit reports. 

Yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX I noticed the account is still open and showing a balance owed of {$630.00} so I contacted XXXX again. They are saying the account was reported closed, but it continues to show on my credit reports. It has been 11 months since the final payment, and I find it completely unacceptable that the account still shows up as open and with a balance on my credit report. 

XXXX needs to do more to be proactive and resolve an issue like this, but in our communications has been dismissive, so I am filing this complaint. Email correspondence attached.

Complaint:

State: IL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX i received a voicemail from this number XXXX stating they had a compaint against me and if i did not respond they would call my HR/payroll dept on file. On XX/XX/XXXX i called the number out of fear they left me to call back XXXX and spoke to a XXXX XXXX who said he was a paralegal and that they had been trying to serve me for a lawsuit regarding a credit card I had with XXXX. I told him i did not recall a credit card with XXXX and asked when it was from he said XX/XX/XXXX with it being sent to collection in XX/XX/XXXX. I still did not recall and asked why i had not been contacted sooner and he said they just got my phone number. I said they had over 10 years to send me something by mail he said they did which i said i never received. I told him to send me the stuff now. He refused and said XXXX has made the decision to pusue me legally with a lawsuit before the statute of limitations expire and I should hire a lawyer. I asked how much the debt was he said 1600 plus, I then asked why had i not been given a settlement amount he said i could settle for 900 plus. He said he would send me the settlement paperwork on Monday XX/XX/XXXX. 
1. They tricked me into calling them by threatning to call my HR/Payroll dept. which is against the law. 
2. If the debt is real the Statute of Limitations had already expired in Florida if the end activity date was XX/XX/XXXX like he said. So threatning lawsuit/ garnishment is banned based on the SOL. He also said the SOL had not expired so he lied and tried to scare me even more. 
4. I XXXX the phone numbers and his name and it seems others have the same compaint and state its a scam. 

Now, I did receive an email today XX/XX/XXXX from a company called XXXX XXXX which I refuse to open. This debt, which I dont even know is mine is out of the SOL and better not of started over because of thier threatning call to me stating they would contact my HR/Payroll Dept. Plus the verbal threat of lawsuit / garnishment from XXXX XXXX on a debt that is past the SOL is against the law. 

This XXXX XXXX who claims to be a paralegal needs to be stopped. Plus he also said he was representing XXXX but in reality he is a collection company that buys debts for pennies on the dollar and then scares and scams people. 

XXXX XXXX left me his personal number XXXX I would like you to pursue this as I was threatened and scared by this person for a supposed debt whose statute of limitations had already expired in Florida. 

I do have the original voicemail threatning to contact my HR / Payroll Dept if you would like to hear it or have me send it to you by email.

Therefore, I am not legally liable to pay any monies to this company. The harassment must stop

Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
I am writing to inform you about a dispute involving a banking institution that requires your assistance. I seek your guidance and intervention in resolving the matter expeditiously. 

On XX/XX/2023, I had an unfortunate experience with Chase Bank, which has prompted me to bring this issue to your attention. The incident in question pertains to unauthorized charges on my account after payment was rendered in cash to a business. I provided proof to Chase bank that this transaction was paid in cash, and my debit card should have not been charged double. This situation has caused significant inconvenience and financial hardship, compelling me to seek a resolution through your esteemed organization. 

Despite my repeated attempts to address this matter directly with the bank, I have not received a satisfactory response or a timely resolution. I firmly believe that my concerns have not been adequately acknowledged nor diligently investigated by Chase Bank. Therefore, I kindly request your intervention to ensure a fair and impartial review of the situation. 

To provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the issue, I have enclosed the necessary supporting documentation, including copies of relevant bank statements, communication records, and any other pertinent documents that will aid in a thorough examination. I trust this information will assist in a prompt and fair assessment of the matter. 

Given the circumstances, I kindly request your immediate attention to this dispute. I sincerely hope that your intervention will facilitate a fair and just resolution for all parties involved. I have confidence in the abilities and expertise of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) in handling such issues, and I believe your intervention will restore trust and rectify the situation appropriately. 


Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Yours sincerely, XXXX XXXX
