XXXX/XXXX/16 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Fl XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX Account Number Num : Balance {$1200.00} Sir or Madam, I am writing in regards account XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report. I have filed a complain to the CFPB, that I do not believe I owe what you say I owe and, in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g, Section 809 ( b ) : Validating Debts : ( b ) If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. 
I must remind you that in my previous letter I requested the following information : ( 1 ) The amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) Provide a verification or copy of any judgment ( if applicable ) ; ( 4 ) Proof that you are licensed to collect debts in ( insert name of your state ) ( 5 ) Provide the actual Bills Statements ( 6 ) Payment Receive I also requested that if you have reported me to any credit reporting agency, that you inform them that I have placed this debt in dispute and to provide me with proof that you have done so. Furthermore, I asked that you immediately send a copy of that dispute letter to the company ( creditor ) that you say I owe money so they are also aware of my dispute with this debt. 
As of today, you have failed to respond to my requests! For your convenience, I have included a copy of my previous letter and a copy of the mail receipt showing that you received my letter on { insert date from mail receipt }. 
Since you have failed to respond I assume that you have been unable to validate the debt and therefore, I consider this matter closed. You may consider this letter your official notification that I do not intend to correspond with you on this matter again unless you comply with my requests, the FDCPA and the FCRA. 

I must remind you that any attempt to collect this debt without validating it, violates the FDCPA and that I am recording all phone calls and keeping all correspondence concerning this matter. Be advised that I will not hesitate to report violations of the law to my State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission and the national XXXX.

I just received a phone call from someone claiming to be with Universal Fidelity. 

At first there was an automated machine that thanked me for calling. They called me. Whatever their matter was, they considered it important enough to interrupt my day. To me, the interruption is important enough for them to have their IT department get that right. 

Eventually, I was transferred to a representative who merely informed me that she was on a recorded line, she works for Universal Fidelity, and they have a " personal business matter '' that came across their desk '' ( or some wording to that effect ). 

She talked very fast - apparently in the hope that I would not slow her down and she could get right to the part where she would make her commission. She seemed disconcerted and off-script when I asked her questions to make sure I understood what she said. 

I had to ask what this was about and what Fidelity Universal is. Only upon questioning did she inform me that XXXX is a debt collection agency. 

I asked her : How do I know she is who she says she is. 

She provided no way to verify herself, but asked several times for me to verify myself. 

We are told, often, in this day and age of terrorists and heightened security NOT to give out information about ourselves to people we do not know. 

Online, we are warned about scammers. 

I asked her to verify herself, and she could not. Instead, she said they would send me a letter and wished me a good day. 

She did not talk about the content of the letter, but from her tone it sounded threatening, like an escalation of this matter for legal purposes. I assume that private debt collection companies share their recorded calls with you, and you can listen for yourself. 

Only after her continued engagement with me on the phone did I have time to look up UFLP on XXXX. I found a very professional website. Of course, that does not mean it is who it says it is. Media reports the Federal government is aware of a XXXX XXXX building whose sole purpose is to confuse and scam and subvert the internet, in part by creating websites that are exact duplicates of legitimate websites and getting unsuspecting Americans to provide their information on fake webforms. 

In the section above, I put " Threatened to take legal action. '' I do n't know if that is what this was - but it was the only choice that seemed to fit this situation.
experian has failed to investigate nor rectify a collection that i have no idea who it is and it is not mine
About XX/XX/XXXX I filed a dispute with this credit bureau reporting that the bankruptcy account listed on my credit report was inaccurate. Around XX/XX/XXXX I received this response : The company that reported the information has certified that the inofrmation is accurate. This item was not changed as a result of our processing your dispute. Please review your report for the details. XX/XX/XXXX I replied to the credit bureau stating that the information reporting on my report is inaccurate. Furthermore, the office of the clerk for the bankruptcy that is being reported on my report, stated in a response letter to me they do not report to the bureaus, but this credit bureau has a bankruptcy reporting on my credit and has it listed as XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX listed as the company reporting it. I would like this bankruptcy removed from my report immediately. If the bankruptcy is not removed within the time given by the law, I would like to pursue relief for the damage incurred by this false reporting.
Good Morning, In XXXX XXXX I reported to ALLY financial that I was filing for Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy. I provided them the name of my attorney and paid the attorney for bankruptcy. The attorney and I met and there was needed documents ( Taxes, Income Statements from my divorce ). 

In short the bankruptcy was delayed. ALLY then tried to take advantage of this window and turned over the collection of this debt to a third party. ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX knowing the they had a small wind to recover the XXXX employed tactics that frankly I have never heard of in 46 years of existence. First, Somehow they got my sister address. They showed up in the middle of the night at my sisters residence and demanded that she produce the XXXX. Mind you my sister had no idea what we they were talking about as at this time she was unaware that her brother had to file bankruptcy. When she ignored their written demands, they peppered her and her neighbors yard with red and white flyers that read " XXXX case number XXXX '' they hand wrote comments on the flyers saying " WE NEED YOUR XXXX '' " Why wo n't you call '' ETC ETC. The problem is that my sister had no knowledge of my bankruptcy filing. Shortly thereafter, I contacted a local attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX for assistance. 

After intentionally committing third party disclosure under the Fair Debt Collection practices act, They then received a call from me telling them that the debt was being filed in bankruptcy court. They stated to me that until the court accepted the case, they could use whatever measure needed to recover the car. I told them that was fine but they were not to harass my family. I must say they heeded this advise and to date have not contacted my sister nor Parked there tow truck behind her vehicle or called upon her neighbors again. Instead ... .. 

Somehow, the got the address of an old girlfriend. On XXXX XXXX XXXX they showed up at her home and threw red and white flyers all over her driveway. It being a windy morning many of these flyers ended up in yards throughout the neighborhood. These flyers stated " XXXX XXXX UNDERLINE BIG BOLD PRINT " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NEED XXXX '' PHONE NUMBER XXXX NO NAME ATTACHED. 

Needless to say, this was the straw that broke the back. I received a call from my old girl friend. She was not happy. She gave me the phone number to all of her neighbors that she knew and asked me to call them all to explain to them that she is not in debt to anyone. She further requested that I come and clean her yard of all of the flyers as she has a XXXX and is unable to do so herself. 

I beg the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop the people from employing these deplorable tactics. They know what they are doing! If you google them you see their reviews are full of similar tactics and frankly they have gone unchecked by anyone and believe they can violate federal law at their leisure. I beg of you to require them to honor the law. I beg of you to insure they follow the law and further I beg of you to protect future consumes from their practices.

I received a correspondence from Dynamic Recovery Solutions dated XX/XX/XXXX, attempting to collect an alleged debt on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I responded promptly once receiving this correspondence completely rejecting, rebutting and rebuking such a false claim and advised that I owe no such debt and have no contract or obligation whatsoever with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I advised them to correct their records and respond in writing that their records are corrected and reflect that no debt is in fact owed and all collection attempts and activities will cease, as of XX/XX/XXXX, I have received no such correspondence. I advised that I would file this complaint with the CFPB and afterwards move forward with litigation if this unsolicited activity and harassment continues. I have attached my correspondence below.
I checked my credit report and noticed that I have a new credit inquiry from XXXX as of XX/XX/XXXX. I have been a customer of XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX. I did not authorize an inquiry and I suspect attempted ID theft.
I have XXXX accounts with XXXX different companies I have disputed 3 times with Equifax. They are refusing to remove them.. XXXX XXXX and XXXX researched and have removed items after one dispute. I have called Equifax and spoke with a manager about my concern that they are not researching my dispute. He advised he could not do anything. Please help me! 

Dispute # 's XXXX & XXXX {$260.00} ... The billing department at XXXX office has no record of this charge. Billing manager advised she called collections company and they have no record of me. 

{$240.00}, {$240.00} and {$50.00} were all paid on the same day. 

{$80.00} charge was paid in the office {$77.00} charge was paid XXXX 2015, XXXX, manager at XXXX XXXX has called manager of collections company to remove me from their file. This was paid and should have never been transfered to a collections company.
I made a payment of {$100.00} on my credit card. I had a promo balance of {$4600.00} with 0 % interest. I made a purchase for {$25.00} on XXXX.

I was charged a minimum interest fee of {$.00} on a balance of {$.00}. I think that charge is unfair and they refuse to refund me the {$.00}.
I wish to lodge a complaint regarding the debt collection practices of Portfolio Recovery Associates. I  am a victim of identity theft and I recently learned that my personal information was used to open three accounts ( original creditor appears to be XXXX XXXX ), but Portfolio Recovery Associates is reporting the information on my credit file as collection/charged off accounts ( totaling {$2800.00} ). I did not open or authorize these accounts, and on XXXX XXXX, 2016, I sent a letter requesting Portfolio Recovery Associates to validate/delete disputed items from my credit report as well as to temporarily remove these items from my report during the investigation period. As of this date, Portfolio Recovery Associates have failed to respond to my request, however, it continue to report the accounts to all the three credit bureaus.

In addition, a representative of Portfolio Recovery Associates called my house recently and told my son that I owed a debt and if I did not pay the debt immediately, my possessions would be seized. This is definitely a violation, as I dispute owing the debt and there is no court judgment against me that would allow my possessions to be seized.
Was yelled at on XXXX XXXX by customer service, called a liar, and they told me my account had been delinquent 120 days over 100 times which is a complete LIE. I had XX/XX/XXXX payments that had cleared my bank and still not posted in their accounting system and they were telling me I was giving them inaccurate payment info and that I had not paid on my account when the payments cleared ... I even sent a letter where the payments cleared my bank. They call MULTIPLE times during work hours to a cell phone at work after explicitly telling them not to call that number. They still call. My account has only been 30 days late on a 17 year old account and they treat me like I am a criminal. This company is so much worse then Greentree ever was. I hate these rude XXXX people. Worst company on the planet.
I obtained my annual credit report XXXX Upon reviewing I noticed I have 30+ inquiries that are affecting my score. I have been car shopping for the past few years but never would have thought this information would have been shared with whomever they wanted ... ... ... I will list these below. I first called XXXX today XXXX who gave me the protocol to request to have these inquiries removed. I then attempted to call the next group of creditors that had access some how to my report, XXXXstore cards?? I called and spoke with a rep who failed to tell me I was speaking with the fraud department. After speaking with her I explained why I was calling. All I requested per XXXX was an inquiry deletion letter. She proceeded to repeat to me all she could do is file an investigation for identity theft, that is the only way for these inquiries to be removed. She stated I would need to contact the credit bureau for further information as that is all that they could do. I then asked her if she could give me a date as to how long this would affect me and all she kept repeating was sorry we do not have a time frame to again call the credit bureau. I then again called XXXX and this time spoke with a supervisor and he repeated the same protocol. I explained I am aware but what am I suppose to do now ... ... .he stated to obtain a police report for proof they could not give me the inquiry deletion letter and submit this to them to then be reviewed to see what they could do???? I believe this is unnecessary as I am trying to buy a house and I can not even get the first group of inquiries deletion process started as no one neither the company nor the credit bureau can help me!!!!! How can any of which hold my information but not assist me? PLEASE HELP! XXXX Auto Dealers?

The promotion was to earn XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX after certain criteria were met ( which they were ) including opening a Citigold checking account, make debit card purchases totaling {$1000.00}, and XXXX direct bill pays - all within a certain time period. I opened the checking account via the promotional link and I called to make sure the checking account opening was linked to the promotion ( which they confirmed that it was ). I met all of the criteria and waited for 90 days for the points to post which they have n't. When I called Citibank regarding the offer they said there was no such offer in conjunction with the opening of my account. I have called and send secure messages but they refuse to give me the points which were part of the offer.
I have chosen a XXXX XXXX XXXX school in the town of XXXX XXXX, at XXXX, for my XXXX, they promised me and gave me a wrong information dramatically, just, only Federal loans will cover your two years of XXXX, they came to me one fine morning, they have asked me to sign a form to raise more private student loan by way of raising loan only your entire two year student cost 's will be covered apart from the Federal student loan, i could not do anything at that, since i have already started my classes in the middle of the semester, i was trapped and forced to sign that private student loan application form which was given to me by XXXX XXXX finance office, by way of raising the private student loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to cover my student costs. I was not able to find an appropriate employment in my filed, and i am single parent / single father and raising my XXXX year old child, and now i am Haunted and constantly harassed by the collection agency called XXXX /First Associates of Loan servicing and a collection agency for the ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX from California constantly making the harassment to make the payments. which i am struggling and surviving by way of pay check to pay check to protect my child and my self. XXXX XXXX IS A MAJOR SCHOOL FOR PROFIT AND TOTALLY A FRAUD INSTITUTION AND THEIR CREDITS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE ANYWHERE THAT CAUSED A SERIOUS PSYCHOLOGICAL AND EMOTIONAL PAIN IN MY MIND AND ALSO IN THE MINDS OF MANY STUDENTS TOO. TOTAL DECEPTIONS AND EXTREME HARDSHIP. 
XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX,
Ara financial at XXXX is using tactics to try and trick you into opening up a debt after SOL has passed and all the above
On XX/XX/XXXX, I noted an erroneous collection on my perfect score credit bureaus reports, contacted collection agency regarding error as well as provided reference number to show proof of payment which occurred over 8 months ago on XX/XX/XXXX. It's been over three weeks and no action has been taken and negative info sits on my Bureau reports. on XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted the original creditor ( XXXX ) who indicated to me that thaqt particular collection has a XXXX   balance and to contact the creditor for resolution. this is a circle as they told me to contact the original creditor despite having proof of payment on my credit card statement. 

What's sad is that I'm in the middle of a mortgage that was pulled when my scores where above 700 which was not only the qualifying amount but also a decent interest rate. 
now do to this collection, my scores dropped a minimal of 36 points across all three mortgage lending reports, ie 2,4,5, .Not only am I filing this report under unfair practices but also under financial harm to me as a result of credit scores drop. which will impact me on obtaining the mortgage or interest rate increase to me.
These problems are wit h Jared The Galleria O f Jewelry.  <P/> First, when I applied for the credit account, I was told the credit check would be a soft hit. It was a hard hit. They lied.  <P/> Second, I have received no information about how to pay down my account. Logging into their website and clicking on  " My Jared Card '' brings me to a page with recent orders, nothing to do with the credit account. When I contacted Jared via chat, I was told my address in their system was incorrect and they needed my birthdate to verify. When I provided my birthdate, I was told the date was incorrect as well. I was then told I needed to fax my state ID card to them. This is 2017, I do n't know where a fax machine would be, or how to use one. Additionally, I was told I needed to provide my account number when I faxed them. Trouble is, I do not know my account number and they wo n't give it to me since the information they have on my account is incorrect.  This is a circle of illogic.  <P/> I was also told I could visit my nearest store. The nearest store is prohibitively far away for such a trivial matter.  <P/> Finally, when calling their  XXXX  number, t  he automated system keeps saying " Sorry I did n't get that '' and will not connect me to a human.
<P/>
Jared messed up and now they are preventing   me from paying my debts.
I have missed my XXXX mortgage payment. I have called my servicer The Money Source several times about a deferment, forbearance, or any help in becoming current. I told them I don't have XXXX 's payment but I will have the XXXX payment. I told them I receive {$800.00} in monthly social security and {$73.00} a week in unemployment. The collection agent continuously tried to force me in to selling the home to avoid foreclosure or refinance and add YEARS on to my loan amount just because I am 1 month behind. They have denied a deferment and forbearance. I need help but refinancing and/or selling my home because I had an unexpected expense this month hardly seems like working with me to resolve this issue. The Money Source refuses to actually care and help me resolve this issue. I just don't have XXXX 's payment but I will have XXXX 's payment
