Complaint:
Please remove LVNV Funding Account # XXXX. This company have had more than 90 days, which I have given them more than enough time and 3 dispute letters were sent to resolve this and they have failed. Now it is time to DELETE the accounts per the FCRA. Some of these companies send a template response back that I should wait LONGER. This is unacceptable. The FCRA gives them 30 DAYS. They have taken over 90 ; this is a violation and they are required to remove all of the accounts that they have failed to investigate. There is no way that the FCRA should be ignored and I have to suffer, especially during a time when credit is needed for employment, dwelling, insurance, and more

Complaint:
REGARDING - extension of the student loan repayment pause Due to the economic challenges created by the pandemic, the Biden-Harris Administration has extended the student loan repayment pause a number of times. Because of this, no one with a federally held loan has had to pay a single dollar in loan payments since President Biden took office. 

To ensure a smooth transition to repayment and prevent unnecessary defaults, the Biden-Harris Administration will extend the pause a final time through XX/XX/XXXX, with payments resuming in XX/XX/XXXX. 

HOWEVER - XXXX HAS BEEN HARASSING ME ABOUT LATE PAYMENTS AND INTEREST CHARGES BOTH ON THE PHONE AND IN THE MAIL OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. 

I AM GETTING NEGATIVE NOTICES ON MY CREDIT REPORTING FROM XXXX XXXX ATTACHMENTS BELOW.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX GA, XXXX DOB : XX/XX/XXXX last four of SSN : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX  XXXX Notice to Cease and Desist To Whom it May Concern ; This is in reference to the Consumer report information provided by XXXXXXXX XXXX  to the Credit Reporting agency by the name of XXXX. While checking my report, it came to my attention that this account is still reporting inaccurate information. Not only is the communication not accurate but all attempts to resolve this issue have failed. I have disputed this with XXXX XXXX on several occasions. This erroneous communication must cease. 

According to 15 USC 1692a ( 2 ), the term " communication '' means the conveying of information regarding a debt directly or indirectly to any person through any medium. 

XXXX XXXX has consistently communicated inaccurate information in regards to the credit builder account account ending in XXXX as well as the credit card account furnished via XXXX. The account has been reporting inaccurate late payments. As the attachment reflects, the account is reporting as current in XXXX of XXXX then reports as 60 days past due in XXXX of XXXX. How can an account be 60 days late in a time span of 30 days? The same incorrect reporting is reflected on the credit card account, on time in XXXX of XXXX then reports 60 days past due in XX/XX/XXXX. 

As per the literal interpretation 'any medium '' includes any oral, written, electronic, or other medium. Therefore, furnishing of the Consumer Report ( bearing information about the late payments for this alleged debt ) by XXXXXXXX XXXX will amount to a communication as per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Pursuant to my rights as per 15 USC 1692c ( c ) I am providing you formal notice to cease any further communications regarding this account immediately. This includes but is not limited to calls, emails, social media, or any Consumer Reporting Agency unless it is to remove the incorrectly reported late payments. 

Any further contact by your agent or Company, except a communication confirming your acknowledgement of this letter, is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

If you do not cease communication a lawsuit will be commenced against you. 

Thank you for your cooperation Sincerely XXXX XXXX XXXX Attachments : 1. Copy of Consumer Report 2. Copy of account inaccuracies XXXX inaccuracies

Complaint:
Capital One Bank and XXXX XXXX XXXX is engaging in unlawful extortion means by knowingly furnishing false and misleading information while having reasonable cause to believe the information is inaccurate. I have reason to believe this was done to coerce me into making a payment on an alleged debt without proof of claim. I am aware that nothing under the Fair Credit Reporting Act REQUIRES a financial institution to furnish negative information to a consumer reporting agency. I DID NOT and I DO NOT consent to any negative information being disclosed to nonaffiliated third parties without my lawful authority. I did not consent or authorize XXXX XXXX XXXX obtaining my nonpublic personal information and unauthorized use of my credit card defined under 15 USC 1602 ( l ) is a violation of 15 USC 1602 ( p ). Consumer reporting agencies involved have used my nonpublic personal information without my lawful authority to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. Capital One Bank illegally transferred the account in reference without lawful authority to XXXX XXXX XXXX which is a violation of code 18 USC 1028 ( a ) ( 2 ). I have never conducted business with XXXX XXXX XXXX and I have not benefited from this transaction which is also a violation. Without lawful authority, by using means of my identification XXXX XXXX XXXX is committing aggravated identity theft. XXXX XXXX XXXX is attempting to collect on this account by extortionate means pursuant to 18 USC 894. Due to continuous acts of deceit, coercion and intimidation, my consumer report has suffered drastically. Therefore, I would like to inform XXXX XXXX XXXX that this debt is not valid and my failure to dispute the validity of the debt will not amount to an admission of liability. I have attempted to rectify this matter multiple times but due to the mutually beneficially business relationship with the consumer reporting agencies, I have reason to believe they are engaging in racketeering activity as well. Multiple verified responses has proven that the consumer reporting agencies arent being impartial when it comes to respecting my right to privacy. Their conspiracy against my rights is affecting my ability to operate in commerce. This is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
While reviewing my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered an open collections account for {$180.00} from TSI/940. After finding contact information, I called TSI and requested documentation for this debt, and expressed that I had never received anything to support this, thus believed this to be inaccurate. The collector insisted several times that I make a payment with my credit card. I was told that even if I paid the debt, I would not receive a letter. Concerned that this was a scam, I denied making any payment until I received documentation to show this was a valid/accurate debt. 

After recently applying for a mortgage with my husband, I received notification from the lender of a Derogatory Account. Obviously, this was a severe negative impact to our home buying process. I learned this was reported XX/XX/XXXX - nearly 9 months after my initial request for documentation. Since I did not receive notice of this being reported to the consumer reporting agencies, I waited 30 days before calling TSI again ( ref. FCRA ) in case something would come in the mail. I received nothing. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I called Transworld Systems , Inc. and spoke with XXXX XXXX who provided me with the following information : {$180.00} is from an invoice dated XX/XX/XXXX Reported to TSI agency on XX/XX/XXXX I requested that she provide me with the dates for any mail correspondence that XXXX sent me. She provided only two dates : XX/XX/XXXX : Letter containing debt information XX/XX/XXXX : Letter offering payment arrangement, asking " how can you resolve this bill? '' Since I never received either of the two letters she referenced, I asked that she confirm the address she has on file. She had the correct address.

She also advised that the collection was reported to all 3 agencies 3 times and provided the following dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX This has had a major impact to my credit score.

To date, I have not received anything in the mail allowing me to validate this debt. However, they continue to call me several times a day, from various numbers. Many of these calls come through my phone and say " Spam Risk ''. Several times I have answered and been hung up on. I do not have any voicemails from this company. When I reference the numbers I receive calls from, they do not match those which I find when doing a search online for TSI. 

I believe all of the above to be unfair and unethical collections practices - such as failure to provide notification and/or validation of debt, and failure to provide notice of reporting to consumer reporting agencies.

This account is being illegally reported on my credit report. I formally disputed it directly with BMW in regards to their illegal reporting, and have not received any satisfactory reply. 
After the car was sold, the lender was required to send out a second notice, stating the amount that they credited from the resale, as well as a cancellation notice of the original sales contract. I was never mailed that second notice. 

I contacted BMW in writing on XX/XX/XXXX advising that I have not received notification regarding the sale that was to take place near XX/XX/XXXX. I returned the car to the lender on XX/XX/XXXX. I received the notification of sell date XX/XX/XXXX and nothing afterwards until I reached out and sent my communication on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I contacted BMW prior to returning and advised that I would purchase the truck. They advised XXXX for the purchase.
