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

Complaint:
" A debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt. " 15 U.S. Code 1692f. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Alliance One Receivables Management Inc., acting on behalf of the City of XXXX XXXX mailed plaintiff a letter that was supposedly attempting to collect the disputed debt of {$800.00}. The debt is hereby under dispute pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1692 ( g ) ( b ) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 

The criminal offenses alleged that forms the basis of AORM 's underlying debt collection claims are not valid under the Constitution. For instance, plaintiff had not received the Miranda warnings before being interrogated by the police for suspicion of the misdemeanor offense of " sleeping in a park '' while in custody then issued a written citation. The plaintiff 's coerced confession along with the documentary evidence that supports these accusations were obtained against his rights under the Fourth Amendment. Furthermore, any purported non-judicial forfeiture of plaintiff 's driving privileges in connection with this unrelated non-motor vehicle offense is a cruel and unusual punishment including a " grossly disproportionate fine barred under the Eighth Amendment.

AORM 's debt collection practices simply are unconscionable because they are seeking to collect debts that constitutionally are not valid under 42 U.S.C. 1983, 4th, 5th, 8th, and 14th Amendments.

Afte

r purchasing a copy of my credit report, I was able to locate a series of negative accounts, that are preventing me from moving forward with my financing. With this in mind, I decided to contact the credit reporting agencies, to have them help investigate these events. I understand that, the credit reporting agencies, have been granted a " relax enforcement standard '' from the CFPB to allow them to either delay, or not respond to my dispute request. However, according to section 1681i of the FCRA, the credit reporting agency, are bind by law, to respond within the highlighted time frame to avoid a possible civil case against them. This is in compliance with section 616, and 617 of the FCRA. It has been more than 45 days since, I requested these items to be properly investigated. I have yet to received anything back from them.

Complaint:
Equifax mishandled millions of SSNs, credit card numbers, DOBs, and other personal information for almost half of the United States. After learning about their security breach, they waited almost two months before telling the public, and a few of the executives sold stock before even announcing the events publicly. Additionally, the way EquiFax decided to handle the situation was to provide a free 1 year monitoring of each customer 's information, even though many of these breaches will yield a lifelong threat against identity theft.
