Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
i have sent several letters to Equifax on how these accounts were verified. i asked what method was used to verify and who they spoke with or what information was shared to verify. i asked them also to provide me with legal and binding agreement or contract that bears my signature, that shows that the account truly belongs to me. in addition, the child support is a personal matter and should not be reporting as a payment owed to a creditor. if they are going to report that, then they need to provide proof as the other mentioned accounts.

Company: TekCollect Inc.
State: MD
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
There is an account on my credit profile from TEK-COLLECT with the account number XXXX. I have not received any goods or services from this company. I have never done any business with this company. This company has illegally obtained my Nonpublic Personal Information per 15 U.S. code 6802. For example, my name, social security number, and date of birth. Only a signed contract between me, the consumer, and TEK-COLLECT would make me legally bonded to any debt that they may claim. I have never provided any wet signature or Nonpublic Personal Information to this company on any agreement. 
Notice requirements Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information, unless the such financial institution provides or has provided to the consumer a notice that complies with section 6803 of this title. 
( b ) Opt-out ( 1 ) In general A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to a such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to a such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option.

I have not received any debt validation notice from TEK-COLLECT as they were lawfully required to provide it to me, the consumer per FDCPA laws. Therefore, I was not rightfully able to dispute this account before they unlawfully caused harm to my consumer report. This is a request for proof of delivery/receipt that TEK-COLLECT has sent a debt Validation Notice to me, the consumer. Written and verbal communication directed via FDCPA was not provided to me, the consumer ; allowing me to properly dispute this invalidated debt.

Complaint:
I had went to wells Fargo because at the time I banked there checking and saving and I was trying to consolidate my high credit cards and when I sat down with someone they showed me on the computer what the interest rate would be if I accepted it and it was lower than my high interest credit cards so I went on with it. I never received any paperwork at the time they told me it would be mailed to me so once I did receive it in the mail I went over it and it was not correct, it was not what I was shown to me and agreed upon. iThe interest rate in this paperwork was higher then my credit card interest I tried to talk to someone at the bank numerous times where I was told I was given paperwork and I told them no I was told it would be mailed I received no paperwork before leaving. I ended up going into the office where they treated me horrible and told me it is what it is I ended up having to file bankruptcy because of what they did. This was 7 years ago approximately.

Complaint:
I am reaching out to report a Fraudulent Credit Card account with XXXX  XXXX XXXX ( Acct # XXXX ) that is currently being reported to my Credit reports with all credit bureaus and I am asking for your assistance to Immediately delete this fraudulent and incorrect reporting from my credit files, since I have already tried to dispute it with the Credit Bureaus and they have failed to take action. 
This account was not opened by me and I never consented to a Credit Card with XXXX  XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX  XXXX XXXX regarding this fraudulent card in hopes that they would help me settle this issue and remove this fraudulent reporting and they have not done anything about it to this date and have referred me to dispute it with the Bureaus, even after speaking to multiple representatives at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX informed me during one of the conversations with them that this Credit Card was opened inside of a Branch in Florida. I am not sure how this happened as I was under the impression that banks were required to check ID and collect a signature for all credit products opened. 
I live in California and I have proof that I was here in California and was at work on the date that they claim this account was opened ( XX/XX/XXXX is the opening date according to my credit reports ). I work for the XXXX  and XXXX of XXXX XXXX in California and I am attaching copies of all my pay stubs received during the period that this card was supposedly opened by me at a Branch in Florida so that you can see that I has here at work in XXXX XXXX, CA and did not take any time off of work during that period. How could the card have been possibly opened by me at a branch when I was across the Country and not even a driving distance from that branch on the date it was opened? Find my XX/XX/XXXX Paystubs enclosed. 
I filed a Dispute with the Credit Bureaus last year in XXXX ( XXXX ) and the results of their Investigations all came back saying that the account was verified. I am not even sure how they were able to verify an account that was NOT opened by me, and which means of verification they used for their investigations. 
If you need any additional information from me, please do not hesitate to contact me at ( XXXX ) XXXX. 
I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter and helping me completely remove this fraudulent and inaccurate reporting from my credit files. 

Thank you for your assistance! 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

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:
I recently received updated copies of my Equifax and XXXX credit reports. I noticed a collection account on both of them upon review. I filed a response with the CFPB about the issue and immediately received a response from the collection agency. I received letter in mail from them today, XX/XX/2022 and replied immediately stating that what was provided was not acceptable to validate the date. The letter was sent via certified mail with return receipt and is attached for reference. 

As noted above, their claim is invalid based on what they provided to me. 

Please be advised this is my SECOND WRITTEN REQUEST. The unverified items listed below remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation, you stated in writing that you " verified '' that these items are being " reported correctly ''. I demand to know who verified these accounts, and the method of verification. 

I am hereby exercising my right under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) to request a complete description of all methods used to investigate my aforementioned dispute. 

Again let me repeat, you have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ). As you know, under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

The law is very clear as to the civil liability and the remedy available to me for " negligent noncompliance '' ( Section 617 ) if you fail to comply. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 

I demand the following accounts be verified or deleted immediately.
