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

I have sent in statements from the original creditor that the information is clearly inaccurate and violates the FDCPA and the FCRA and have cited the specific statutes in my disputes and have not received any result. I was living in California at the time and the RosenthaXXXX Fair Debt Collection Practice Act and the Federal FDCPA said Collectors may not use False or Misleading statements. I have submitted proof of the changes in the account balance without any payment being paid as a direct violation of this Law. This has caused drastic harm on my credit and prevented me from getting apartments and was even turned down for a job because of it. I am not running from my debt, I would like this issue to be resolved as they have clearly violated State and FederaXXXX laws.

Complaint sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

On XX/XX/2020 I received automatic messages from Citibank fraud prevention department asking for verification of several transactions made on my account. I replied to those messages specifying that those transactions were not made by me and denying any acknowledge of the purchase amounts referenced on the text messages. Then, I received a call from a representative who asked me details about the transactions that did not look as regular transactions that I could have done, based on my purchase history. I answered on that call that I had not done any purchase with my card that day. I agreed with the representative that my account should be closed for security reasons, so he proceeded to close my account and a new account was issued and sent to me a few days later. The representative did not advised me to file a police report or contact any other office at the time.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

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.

Complaint sub-issue: Company closed your account

I have been a customer of Discover for over 20 years with two credit cards, including an outstanding credit history. Recently I discovered that one of my accounts was closed ( according to them due to inactivity ). My issue with this is I do not feel I as properly notified, I only found out when I received a termination of service letter from company that provided additional credit protection on this particular card. When I called Discover about this I was only told that one letter was mailed out to me in XX/XX/XXXX ( which I did not receive ) supposedly stating that if I made a purchase before mid XX/XX/XXXX the account would remain opened and the only thing I could do was to reapply for a new card as once an account is closed it can not be reopened. I have a serious issue with this as I stated I had two credit cards with Discover and not once was an alert/message visually placed on the Discovers online home page of my account-it stills shows this closed card having an available balance on the main page. Not only did they close my card causing my credit score to drop but I had to apply for another card which would also cause my credit score to drop. On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to four different individuals and was transferred to departments that was not even working that day, only to be told a repeated scripted response that once an account is closed it can not be reopened. I think that with my years of loyal service as I was often told even as recent as XX/XX/XXXX, that my account remaining open would not solely depend on one letter ( that I did not receive ) being mailed to my home. My phone number, email address, are all on file as additional means of ways to communicate with me. This act in my opinion has caused me consumer harm and was/is very unfair.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Hello, you are reporting unverified accounts on my credit profile. By continuing to do so they are in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 the credit reporting agencies are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report to assure maximum accuracy. 

I have sent multiple requests for proof of verification ( copy of the original consumer contract with my signature on it ) of the accounts that you are reporting on my credit report in the form of disputes. Every one of my requests has been ignored. Your company 's continued ignoring of my multiple requests for proof of verification ( copy of the original consumer contract with my signature on it ) has and is hindering my ability to obtain credit. 

My most recent request for proof of verification of the unverified accounts was sent out on the XX/XX/2020. 

I am simply requesting that the credit reporting agencies properly verifiy accounts they are reporting on my credit profile and send me proof of verification or simply delete them, which they have ignored those requests time and time again so I am reaching out to you and asking for your assistance in this situation. 

Thanks in advance.

Complaint sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

I have XXXX issues. The first is I have student loans that were discharged through a ch XXXX bankruptcy that are reporting negatively on my credit reports even though they were discharged. The 2nd issue is I am being told that I have a consolidation loan. I NEVER took out this loan and it has been sold to a 3rd party. The servicer will not help and it has been sold numerous times. I have been garnished in the past. When I ask for proof of the debt they send me a copy of a promissory note that does not have my signature and has my minor child listed as a reference. I did not authorize or apply for this loan. Nor did I benefit from the proceeds of the loan. This is impacting me in a devastating manner. I can not obtain any credit and I am unable to obtain things such as housing and employment due to the negative impact of it. I have asked for hearings and followed the chain of command but they keep canceling the the hearings then selling it to another collections agency. The loans have ballooned over time along with collections costs. At the time I was not even enrolled in school or had a need for consolidation because I was not in enough debt. I am unemployed and without any liquid assets or property. I also have a minor dependent.
