Complaint:
I am giving authorization to this company to respond to this cfpb complaint before I proceed with litigation. As a federally protected consumer, this company has violated my consumer rights and has defamed my character by attempting to collect an alleged debt. They also have reported this information to consumer reporting agencies when I have never engaged in an agreement with this company, nor have I given them written, nonwritten, verbal, nonverbal consent to communicate with me both directly and indirectly pursuant to 12 CFR 1006.6 ( b ) ( 4 ) ( i ) and multiple federal laws pursuant to 15 U.S. Code Subchapter V - DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES. Furthermore, they claim that they are attempting to collect a debt from a purchased contract which violates Uniform Commercial Code 3-203 which states that once a contract has been transferred, you cancel all rights to collect. I have a right to privacy pursuant to the privacy act of 1974, to be more specific 5 U.S.C 552a, and this company did not get my permission to use my social security number which has caused me monetary damages.
