Complaint:
This account is involved in litigation for fraudulent practices according to my FCRA rights. I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v. Gravens ( Mo ) 281 SW 715, 719, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. Note that the collector has to stop all collection activities until it can provide all the evidence. Under the FDCPA Section 809, Validation of debts [ 15 USC 1692g ] I have the right to verify any alleged debt on my credit report and if the alleged debt is being disputed, the debt collector shall cease.

State: NY
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2021. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus and the creditors so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 130 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.

Issue: Opening an account

Complaint:
I tried to open an account at Navy Federal ( NF ) l. The supervisor rejected my application and stated " my whole business " is not supported at NF. I asked for a where it stated that NF doesn't support consulting businesses and she said it wasn't stated anywhere. I asked for this statement in writing as described by law and she denied that. 

She then went ahead to state that I had indicated that I " offered credit repair services '' which I never said ( A recording on the call should be produced for evidence ) My website said " We 'ensure ' credit repair, optimization and strategy to set up your business up for massive funding possibilities ''. Ensure means, we make sure and provide a review of your financial package ; not provide a credit repair service. The website clearly states " Consulting Services ''. This is a classic case of a " supervisor '' who made a mistake and instead of rectifying the issue when she incorrectly stated I provide credit repair services despite my website starting otherwise, stuck to her guns. I have attached my statement for identification of my account. 

Below is the website : XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
I never received a clear information regarding the policy of the card. Salesperson at the store was not knowledgeable about the term of the credit card the store offer. I totally mislead about the option of the policy. Their agent told me I can requested a credit limit increase after few months without need a hard inquiry in my credit score.  So after applied for the credit increase was no sign of hard inquiry pull for the card. In addition the credit limit increase wasnt reflecting the amount I requested. I have a very good credit and I care about it. What this company have been doing to customer is no right and should be fix. I want a credit limit increase to average corresponding to my income or the hard inquiry on my credit remove.

Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Hi XXXX/ERC ; I'm not quite sure what happened! Why am i seeing XXXX back on my credit from a different debt collector? It was reported on my credit before by XXXX XXXX XXXX and i opened a claim against them and XXXX and it then deleted. Now i'm looking at my credit i see newly opened date for the XXXX   for last month! Isn't this the same as before? What is the actual open date then? Why was it placed on my credit report without my knowledge? 

Again, 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.

Sub-issue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit

Complaint:
on XX/XX/21 I went online and requested for a credit limit increase. I received a message stating that I will receive something in the mail 2-3 days. I received an email stating I have a new document in my capital one document folder. the letter was regarding my request for increase why it was denied. The letter stated I was denied because my recent payments are to low. I pay my credit cards balance off every month, I even make multiple payments off some months splitting what's due in have and making 2 payments. I called Capital One and was told to retry that its computer driven for the response and that it was nothing she could do. I always have an issue with Capital One regarding this account. They don't increase the credit limit automatically I have to manually request for one just to get denied, And I do not want to keep requesting a increase do I do not want my credit to keep taking an hit and be affected. They don't even look at what you are talking about it feels like the are reading a script to get you off the phone.
