I am doing this all on my own.

This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didnt agree upon and I didnt sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties and I did not participate in any of it. More so they didn't follow the proper 5 step validation procedure which make this unfair practices. According to the FDCPA Im entitled to XXXX dollars per violation and clearly they violated my rights.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (TX)

I am writing to formally file a complaint against NAVY FEDERAL CR UNION regarding the inclusion of inaccurate and fraudulent accounts on my credit report, which I believe violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and CFPB regulations. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX. My date of birth is XX/XX/1970, and my Social Security Number is XXXX. Upon reviewing my NAVY FEDERAL CR UNION credit report, I discovered several inaccuracies and fraudulent accounts. There are fraudulent accounts on my report, included in my credit reports. I did not open the account and was not informed about it beforehand, indicating it was established without my consent. I have already taken steps to address these issues by contacting NAVY FEDERAL CR UNION directly. I submitted a dispute and provided supporting documentation, such as drivers license, ssn card, proof of address and FTC report. Despite these efforts, the inaccuracies and fraudulent accounts have not been removed from my credit report, significantly impacting my creditworthiness and financial stability. I am requesting that the CFPB intervene to ensure that these inaccurate and fraudulent accounts are promptly removed from my NAVY FEDERAL CR UNION credit report. Additionally, I seek written confirmation from NAVY FEDERAL CR UNION once these accounts have been corrected. I also ask the CFPB to investigate NAVY FEDERAL CR UNION handling of my dispute and its adherence to FCRA and CFPB rules.

This is my third formal request to remove inaccurate and false information from my credit report. The Account is XXXX XXXX, account number XXXX Date opened XXXX Balance {$11000.00} which has been charged off and written off. XXXX keeps updating the balance after failing to respond to fraudulent chargers on the account. They constantly gave me the run around and wouldnt connect me to a supervisor to handle this problem. Despite my previous attempts, the inaccurate information remains, the credit bureaus have failed to respond and according to 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( e ), 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( i ) HJR 192 REMED, 1099C & 1099A, FCRA Section 611 Part ( AX1 ) FCRA Section 605 ( c ), 15 U.S. Code 1635, 15 U.S. Code 1692 is a direct violation of my rights. The continued reporting of inaccurate dates, failure to respond, reporting without consent is false information, especially the misuse of my personal information, is not only unlawful but also damaging. Theres multiple reasons this account needs to be removed not to mention if its a write off Ive never received a 1099 from. You are required by law to ensure the accuracy of all information reported, and failure to correct these inaccuracies after repeated notification is a violation of federal consumer protection laws. Closed dates and balances are inaccurate on all 3 credit bureaus. None of them are correct which is also a violation. I request this false report to be removed from my XXXX, XXXX and Exqifax report. Thank you in advance

Company: Onity Group Inc. (NH)

This is Attorney XXXX XXXX. I represent XXXX XXXX, the homeowner. He is in the process of selling the property. I have attempted to obtain a mortgage payoff statement 5 times with no cooperation from PHH Mortgage. 

The borrowers are XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. The property is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Massachusetts XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I used the automated payoff service to order a written payoff statement. They said I would have the payoff within 3 hours -- no payoff statement arrived. I called again on XX/XX/2019 and did the same. No payoff statement arrived. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I talked to a customer service representative. He said that PHH Mortgage would expedite the payoff. No payoff statement arrived. 

On XX/XX/2019 I talked to another customer service rep. He told me that we needed to obtain an appraisal of the property -- this was my 4th call but the first time any representative had mentioned the appraisal. On that same day, I faxed an appraisal to PHH Mortgage. 

I called back to PHH on MOnday, XX/XX/2019 to find out where the payoff statement was. PHH then claimed to have NEVER received the appraisal that I had sent them. 

It has now been 2 weeks, I can not sell the property, and I am paying additional expenses to continue to hold the property off the market. PHH seems determined to string this along so that they can collect more interest on this loan. 

PHH 's behavior has been unethical and has caused expense and additional attorney 's fees.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NC)

I am writing to file a formal complaint and request your assistance regarding a debt that has been inaccurately reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, account number XXXX, across all three major credit bureaus : XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. 

On a prior occasion, I requested a contract assignment and validation of this debt from the credit collection agency ; however, despite more than XXXX  days having passed, I have not received any of the requested documentation. The failure to provide this information within the legally required timeframe is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Furthermore, I have identified significant discrepancies in the way this repossession is being reported by the credit bureaus : XXXX. XXXX credit bureau is displaying no payment history for this account. 
XXXX. The other XXXX credit bureaus are inaccurately reporting multiple months of repossessions, when in reality, a repossession only takes place once. 

This misrepresentation is not only damaging but also extends the statute of limitations, which is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report. 

Due to these inaccuracies and the failure to validate the debt, I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and assist in having the incorrect repossession entries removed entirely from my credit reports. 

I respectfully ask for your prompt attention to this matter. I am requesting that you ensure that the credit bureaus correct this misrepresentation and provide an updated and accurate copy of my credit report. 

Thank you for your assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
