Complaint sub-issue: Company closed your account

Discover closed my credit card without indicating any reason, most likely to avoid having to pay out for the significant amount of rewards I have accumulated. By closing my card before the first year promotion, " We'll match all the Miles you've earned at the end of your first year. ", Discover is avoiding having to pay double the rewards. This is a complete switch and bait scam.

They read the name " LJ Ross Associates ''. I said " what type of organization are you? '' and they stated " we handle personal matters ''. I stated I would not provide additional information unless they provide more specific information and they said " Okay then have a nice day '' and hung up.

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

XXXX has engaged in unfair, abusive and unlawful practices in processing a payment. They subsequently failed to conduct a reasonable investigation for billing errors, failed to provide reproductions of documents used to determine the outcome of billing error investigations, failed to disclose my right to request such reproductions. They then retaliated against me as consumer for engaging in protected activities, using tactics including credit discrimination and XXXX discrimination. XXXX has continued to harm me as a consumer by continuously furnishing invalid and/or unverifiable payment history to the CRAs. The information is invalid and/or unverifiable because the information supplied was generated as a result of unlawful actions taken due to XXXX 's failure to process a payment. XXXX has reported that information using the eOSCAR system claiming the information is correct, yet has been unwilling to provide me with reproductions of documents that support the information supplied to the CRAs. At the same time, the CRAs have insisted XXXX has provided them with the same or similar documentation that allegedly verifies the validity and accuracy of the information supplied to the CRAs, and that attests the information was generated lawfully. Prior complaints with both the CFPB and XXXX are attached. Most recently, XXXX supplied me with a rehash of their alleged investigation ( XXXX ) on letterhead with XXXX ( XXXX ) supporting documents -- this is despite my request for reproductions of any and all documents that supports the conclusions of their alleged investigation ( XXXX ). I cited applicable law and provided the corresponding pdf from the Federal Code. Overall, XXXX is using abusive tactics to avoid transparency that is required, and is harming me by supplying the CRAs with invalid information. They are then sending updates to the CRAs that contain the invalid information. They are then closing out subsequent complaints with the CFPB as a form of retaliation, and refuse to supply reproductions of supporting documents, claiming they conducted a billing error investigation. The CRAs has been more than willing to persist the information furnished by XXXX despite me notifying the CRAs through CFPB complaints of the serious issues involved. Therefore, the CRAs are now knowingly and willfully violating the FCRA. The full explanation and documentation is attached.

Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Dear Sirs : I noticed an account on my credit from a company called Tek- Collect/ Account Number XXXX. I did not have their phone number so I sent them a certified letter disputing the validity of the debt based on the information that was available to me on my credit report. 

The letter was received- however, it's been 60 days to date and the fraudulent entry remains on my credit. They have yet to contact me and or remove the unknown fraudulent entry. 

Furthermore, according to my credit report the account states the debt is for XXXX XXXX treatments .... I don't have XXXX/XXXX and no such treatments were ever rendered to me in this regard. If I would have been contacted by this institution in the begining I could have conveyed to him/her they had the wrong person. When in contrast- they placed the debt on my credit without my knowledge. I just so happened to see it on my credit reports. 

This is also defamation of character and slander. I do plan to take the matter to court immediately .... if it is not resolved in the next 10 business days.
