State: MA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
The original debt was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX, and is not even on any of my credit reports. How can a charged off debt over 10 years old be purchased? It was not purchased and this  collection post is a complete fraud perpetuated against XXXX, and an abuse of my rights under FCRA and FDCPA. The attached post on my credit bureau claims that a debt was purchased by a third party. At no time from my initial dispute was a debt validated. Under Federal Trade Commission guidelines, a debt must be proved, showing actual hard copy transfer. That does not mean a letter of transfer, but an actual transfer with signature backup. The debt purchase industry is the largest scam ongoing against the American consumer. Both the collection agency/debt purchaser are in violation of their subscriber agreement with every credit reporting agency. At no time was the debt validated, and the initial timeline from the original creditor has been cut off, and thus the debt is illegally being re-aged to benefit both the original creditor and the illegal debt collection process. Both the original trade line must be removed along with the invalid collection process. This problem will continue to exist since the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Supreme Court decision of XX/XX/XXXX, whereas the third party purchase voids the individuals rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Since there is no proof of true hard copy transfer and ownership, the collection is VOID and the collection process must cease and my file for both accounts must purge. These items must be deleted permanently and my files need to be purged. My information was obtained through a debt pooling process that should be terminated by the Federal Trade Commission. XXXX XXXX has committed a fraudulent act by even posting my antiquated information and there should be sanctions taken against this company. Now XXXX XXXX is extending the fraudulent activity to a fourth party collection service called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. There is absolutely no connection to a valid debt, and my name must be deleted immediately from all corresponding files. All credit bureaus are being aware of this problem as now two debt collection agencies/debt buyers are in violation of their subscriber agreement across the board with the major credit bureaus. The credit reporting as well as the debt collection is 100 % fraudulent and needs to cease immediately and permanently.

Complaint:
Bloomingdales AMEX card : Attempting to close this card. Toward that goal, on XX/XX/XXXX I instructed my credit union to pay off the balance of {$68.00}. Bank records show the payment was made to AMEX on XX/XX/XXXX, six days prior to the beginning of the card 's next billing cycle. Next monthly statement I received showed the {$68.00} as " overdue '' and a new {$40.00} " late fee '' added by the company. I have disputed this and provided proof that the payment was made by the credit union on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX representing Bloomingdales AMEX with false claims that there is insufficient evidence of the XX/XX/XXXX balance transfer. Bloomingdales AMEX has acknowledged the balance transfer by deducting the {$68.00} but has kept the erroneous {$40.00} " late fee '' on my account. I have sent to XXXX XXXX by certified mail further proof provided to me by the credit union, attached here as well, that the {$68.00} was paid by the credit union on XX/XX/XXXX, and that Bloomingdales AMEX did NOTHING until XX/XX/XXXX, thereby creating the delay for which they now expect me to pay a late fee. I have demanded that this false information be removed from my account and that the account be closed ; so far the company has ignored me.

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Focused Recovery Solution ( FRS ) - I paid off the attached debt to the creditor. Once my check cleared I contacted the account to verify if my account was updated and information forwarded to the credit bureaus. I was informed FRS does not update the credit files with partial payments. I advised the account I was only aware of the balance of {$750.00} and inquired of the difference. The FRS collector advise she wasn't sure of the difference therefore I disputed the balance of {$130.00} with the account. To date I have to received an explanation of the remaining balance. 

Once FRS advised they did not update partial payments to the credit bureaus I forwarded the information to the credit reporting agencies directly ( XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ). All three had updated my file to reflect the correct balance however when I checked my report with XXXX today I've noticed the full amount of the account was re-established on my credit report ; which is erroneous.

Complaint:
Opened credit account with ExxonMobil in XX/XX/2019. Registered on their website and set up autopay. Charged gas purchases in XXXX to XXXX. In XX/XX/2019 received notice from XXXX that credit score had been reduced due to delinquent ExxonMobil account. Attempted to log on to ExxonMobil website and could not without re-registering, which seemed peculiar. Found all the information I had entered to start autopay was there ( see attachment ). I contacted ExxonMobil about two things : 1 ) why hadn't autopay retired any account balance and 2 ) if autopay, in spite of my efforts, was not set up why didn't ExxonMobil notify me of a balance due before notifying XXXX? I sent several messages via ExxonMobil 's website about the above and was informed that autopay never got set up. I called ExxonMobil customer service and asked why ExxonMobil hadn't notified me before XXXX. The person I spoke with said it is not their policy to notify if a balance is due - at least that is my interpretation of what I was told. Something about " concerns about privacy. '' I think it is reasonable for ExxonMobil to let XXXX know that I was not informed about the balance due. Needless to say I have recently re-set up ExxonMobil autopay to forestall the above repeating. My account currently is paid up.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I submitted a dispute to XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX about some accounts that did not look right on my credit report. According to the FCRA, the bureaus must be able to provide the original documentation, we requested, for any and all accounts listed within 30 days. I requested that documentation and did not receive the method of verification within that time frame. 

I then sent a reinvestigation request on XX/XX/2022, to provide them a second opportunity to provide me with the method of verification, and still nothing has been received. 

At this time all three bureaus are in violation of the FCRA and I am filing this formal complaint with the CFPB. The accounts and reason for the investigation are listed below.

Complaint:
This is a secured credit card with capital one, all my funds were on this card. During 2020, credits by a merchant were made to my balance and instead of capital one returning this money to me they decided to increase my secured balance from originally {$840.00} and it increased due to the credits to {$1300.00}. This card is now closed. Capital one returned only the original {$840.00} I gave them when I opened the account but not the remaining {$450.00} they are holding hostage of my own money. To exacerbate matters, they are charging me overdraft and interest charges on my own money. I have called numerous times and sent letters to XXXX XXXX, not one letter was responded to. The representatives just respond it will be returned in the interim, I keep receiving charge after charge for my own money I gave them and trusted them with for my secured card to build credit with.
