Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: MA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
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 immediately reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Complaint:
Remove account which is not belong to me. I am formally requesting that you validate all tradeline notations you have submitted to the three major credit reporting agencies as : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX Date Opened XX/XX/2013 Due to possible inaccuracies in these CRA reports, I must demand that the validation I hereby lawfully request be in the form of a notarized statement by a person with original knowledge of the debt as it was constituted and who can testify that the debt was incurred legally, was not subsequently disputed as a result of returned, faulty, or recalled consumer products, was not utilized as a profit-loss tax deduction during the period it may have been payable, and was not claimed as a loss with any insuring entity during the period it may have been payable. Please be advised that I am not requesting a verification that you have my mailing address ; rather, I am requesting validation, i.e., competent evidence that I had some contractual obligation sans consumer protection encumbrance which incurred the original claims associated with this tradeline. 

Please know that you have 30 days from the tracked and confirmed delivery of this lawful notice to either answer these demands or to remove the associated negative tradeline notations from the CRA reports. Any other action may constitute evidence of your intent to abridge one or more civil or other constitutional rights.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Complaint:
I am the victim of a sophisticated fraud perpetrated by my ex wife XXXX XXXX against me over the life of our marriage. I have consulted with local authorities and with legal counsel, and I have been advised that my rights under the consumer protection statutes at both federal and state level are applicable here. However, after notifying Barclays Bank of the fraud discovered, they allegedly conducted an investigation and decided to ignore my rights under the law that protect victims of Identity Theft. I understand that the circumstances are not your cookie cutter, cut and dry identity theft - however if you look at the totality of the situation- I never benefitted, authorized, or was aware of any of these accounts opened, maintained, and used in my name. My signature was forged, in every single instance that the cards were used. Payments were made from an account not under my name. The forgery and deceit is of the highest level, and I have stated numerous times that I am willing to cooperate with and assist with any prosecution for forgery, fraud, and ID theft charges that should be levied on XXXX. 

Pursuant to the guidance issued by the CFPB and The Federal Trade Commission, I have included my law enforcement report and my notarized Fraud Affidavit in this complaint. This ID theft report has been provided to all my creditors, however Barclays Bank is choosing to ignore the facts and reach a conclusion against me, the victim of a sophisticated Fraud. 

Barclays has been provided with a legal notice summarized here : " Section 623 ( a ) ( 6 ). If a furnisher learns that it has furnished inaccurate information due to identity theft, it must notify each consumer reporting agency of the correct information and must thereafter report only complete and accurate information. Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ). When any furnisher of information is notified pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 605B that a debt has resulted from identity theft, the furnisher may not sell, transfer, or place for collection the debt except in certain limited circumstances. Section 615 ( f ). '' They have failed to abide by those requirements and more, and therefore leave me no choice but to pursue assistance from the CFPB in order to resolve this fraudulent debt against me.
