Please be apprised that XXXX XXXX are in direct violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. In my opinion you have violated my rights by : 1. Failing to validate a debt as allowed to the debtor under 15 USC 1692 ( g ) Section 809 ( b ) 2. Harassment of alleged debtor under the " abuse & harassment '' subsection of the statute, USC 1692 ( g ) Section 806 ( 5 ) On XX/XX/2021, I sent by certified mail ( receipt number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a request for your office to provide me with proof and evidence of the debt you alleged I owed. Not only have you ignored my prior requests for validation of debt but you continue to report an unverified and disputable debt to the credit bureau causing damage to my character. You failed to validate a debt at my request, which is a FDCPA violation and you continued to report a disputed debt to the Credit Bureaus : another FCRA violation. Everyone is entitled to a validation. In my certified letter that I sent on XX/XX/XXXX I kindly asked for : 1. What the money you say I owe is for 2. Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe ; 3. Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe ; 4. Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable ; 5. Identify the original creditor ; 6. Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account ; 7. Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state ; and 8. Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent. You may wish to familiarize yourself with what is required when validating a debt. Your business had more than enough time to perform a proper investigation, the 30day mark has come and gone therefore this unverifiable account should be removed from my credit report. There is no question that you willfully violated my rights and that I could bring charges against you immediately. However, I am assuming this has been a terrible mistake on your part and that you will take appropriate steps to enlighten yourself and your staff of such dangerous actions. I will also be checking my credit report to see if you corrected the errors by simply removing this unverifiable account from my credit profile permanently from all XXXX bureaus. I must remind you again to not contact me in any way via phone or mail in reference to collecting If I receive anything other than absolute removal of the account from my report, I will assume you are harassing me, and I will take action against you for these continued violations and abuse. As you may be aware, " Estoppel by Silence '' legally means that you had a duty to speak but failed to do so therefore within the 30day period, that must mean you agree with me that this debt is false. I will use the Estoppel in my defense.

On XXXX I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

The comenityXXXX  site ( to access my BJs Perks Mastercard ) has been down for about a week. The message on the page says : Important notice : due to a scheduled system update, our website can only accept same-day payments at this time. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience. 

There is no additional information, most notably no expected return date. There was also no advanced warning or notice, and customer service is unable to provide any information. Im quite concerned that there is something beyond a simple scheduled system update perhaps a crash, or worse, a data breach or hack. 

Any competent business performing a scheduled system update would provide an outage window and advance warning. Consumers deserve better.

To Whom it May Concern ; This is in reference to the Consumer Report sent by your Company. While checking the above report, it came to my notice that your Company has furnished one account on my report.

According to 15 USH 1692a ( 2 ), the term " Communication '' means the conveying of information regarding a debt directly or indirectly to any person through a medium.

As per the literal interpretation " Any medium '' includes any oral, written, electronic or other medium. Therefore, furnishing of the Consumer Report ( bearing information regarding the alleged debt ) by the Company will amount to Communication as per Fair Debt Collection Practices At ( FDCPA ).

Pursuant to my rights as per 15 USC 1969 ( c ) I am hereby providing your formal notice to cease any further communications regarding these accounts immediately. This includes but not limited to telephone calls, emails, social media, or any Consumer Reporting Agency.

Any further contact by your Agent or Company, except a communication confirming your acknowledgement of this letter, is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

If you do not cease communication a lawsuit will be commenced against you.

These people have not been responsible, fair, nor impartial, and they have not been respectful of my right to privacy, and I am tired of this XXXX! They have caused me grief and great stress in my life and my rights have been violated due to everything they are falsely saying about me ; In addition, I have been denied credit 4 times due to what you are saying about me.
