Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Complaint:
My fianc at the time bought the house in XXXX, MN together and we were both listed equally as borrowers for the loan, then we got married and in 2015 we had our divorce finalized. I let her keep the house and the very large amount of equity that went along with it. My plan the entire time was to live in it for 5 years or so then sell it for a significant profit. It is now worth well over {$100000.00} more than we paid, I paid the full mortgage myself and all the closing costs and escrow associated with the purchase. I made improvements and I paid the mortgage even after we split up and I moved out. 2 full years of monthly payments is about {$25000.00} plus another {$10000.00} of costs from the sale is over {$30000.00} of real money I put in that I lost from the divorce. The court was being completely female biased and I didnt do anything in the relationship to cause any unfair treatment but I sure got it. They awarded her the house outright as long as she takes over payments its 100 % hers but I dont get removed from the loan? Thats not right. I lost {$35000.00} of money I invested in the property AND the percentage of equity that I should be due that is about pay off and she got a free house. Literally everything paid for for her. Meanwhile Im stuck with almost {$200000.00} of debt on my credit report and I have been destroyed by that. I cant get a car loan or buy a new house because of that debt that is no longer associated with me at all. Its been 8 years since I lived there. She has since remarried and has 2 kids by another man and I cant help but wonder why they are not putting his name on and taking mine off. I dont know how people could look ar the situation and conclude that I should remain on the hook for the loan that I have lost 10s of thousands of dollars to and she has made climbing near to {$200000.00} in potential revenue from a sale. Theres only 2 fair outcomes for this situation. One removed my name from that loan and that loan amount from my credit report right away or she needs to sign paperwork for giving me a percentage of the profit when a sale happens because I have had no financial freedom because of this and have not been able to actually really start over again because of the amount of debt in my name. Im not trying to take money from her I just want this off my report so I can buy a house or car and finally have a chance. I have years of damages from this and it needs to be handled properly.

Complaint:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX, XXXX for multiple violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Despite my attempts to address the issue directly with the agency, the following violations have remained unresolved : 1. Unauthorized Debt Acquisition : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX acquired a debt from the original creditor, Synchrony Bank, without obtaining my explicit consent. As per the FDCPA, it is illegal for a collection agency to acquire and pursue debts without the debtor 's consent. 
2. Failure to Provide Verification of Debt : On XX/XX/, I sent a written request to XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting verification of the alleged debt they were pursuing against me. However, the agency failed to provide any valid documentation or evidence supporting the existence and accuracy of the debt, as required by the FDCPA. 
3. Ignoring Cease and Desist Instruction : In my previous correspondence with XXXX XXXX XXXX, I explicitly instructed them to cease all communication with me regarding the alleged debt until proper verification was provided. Despite this instruction, the agency continued to engage in collection efforts, including phone calls and letters, disregarding my rights under the FDCPA. 
These ongoing violations have caused significant distress and have infringed upon my rights as a consumer. In light of these circumstances, I am seeking the following actions : 1. Investigation : I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) conduct a thorough investigation into the actions of XXXX XXXX, XXXX to determine the extent of their violations and hold them accountable for their non-compliance with the FDCPA. 
2. Cease Collection Efforts : I demand that XXXX XXXX, XXXX immediately cease all collection activities related to the alleged debt until they provide valid verification as required by the FDCPA. 
3. Remedial Measures : I urge the CFPB to take appropriate measures to ensure that XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX rectifies their violations, including but not limited to imposing penalties and sanctions as permitted by the FDCPA. 

Enclosed with this complaint, you will find copies of all relevant correspondence, including the written request for debt verification and the documented disregard of the cease-and-desist instruction. These documents serve as evidence to support my complaint. I appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to protecting consumer rights. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take swift and decisive action to address these violations and provide me with a resolution.

Complaint:
There is a single late payment appearing on my credit history in XX/XX/XXXX for a XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) account as reported to the credit bureaus that I feel should be removed from my history as they had already revised this on my account, even refunding the late charge, but still being reported by them as late. 
At that time I had called to explain my husband 's condition, which had eventually lead to his XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. 
Based on the full history of this account I believe this single late payment should be removed from the credit reports. 
Thank you.

Complaint:
Recent email to XXXX XXXX Comenity Bank Credit Card. 
I am very upset how you have decided to treat your consumers. I made a large payment of {$310.00} on XX/XX/2021 and you decided to reconsider my payment/credit history on XX/XX/2021 and reduce my credit limit by {$320.00}. Was this a delayed punishment? I have had a good standing and despite the pandemic I have tried to stay afloat with my credit cards. You wait to " punish '' me and my credit as I was in the process of paying this credit card off. This makes me wonder if you are upset that consumers are trying to raise their credit scores and reduce their intertest rates which doesn't pad credit card companies pockets. FRUSTRATING. How dare you take my credit usage from 47.8 % to 94 % instantly. I will be reporting this practice to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and filing a complaint with BBB. I was logging on to pay my card off, once I do this, I will be closing my account. It's not worth allowing you to control my financial future. I'll take closing this card now then to deal with you. 

They have reduced my credit limit multiple times. Most recent was after a substantial payment from me and reduced my credit availability and limit substantially. I have been update to date for the past 5 months, and when I wasn't I was in communications with them. 6 months later and when my credit score was actually highest in the past year, they use that and decide to reduce my limit. This becomes a vicious game from credit card companies to keep interest rates high by adversely effecting the score they dare use to evaluate credit worthiness for. This is also the same credit card company that has closed my XXXX account with no notice when the limit was {$1500.00} I owed roughly {$200.00} and was paying on time. I understand they have a " right '' to do this but they are unfairly applying that right and with no notification or valid reasoning until after the fact.
