Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Money was taken from your account on the wrong day or for the wrong amount
Company: BANKMOBILE TECHNOLOGIES, INC (CA)

The company XXXX XXXX, and spinoff BM Technologies , IncXXXX ( also called XXXX XXXX XXXX ) refused to honor it's issued check numbered XXXX, acting as a payment agent. The check arrived via USPS First-Class Mail with a South Dakota return address. Calls to the phone number on the check ( around XX/XX/XXXX ) go to a call center that says that the check is stale-dated, and asks if I am a merchant. I am not a customer of the bank payment service company nor a merchant. The check is dated XX/XX/2022 ( XX/XX/2022 ) and was deposited electronically XX/XX/2022 and accepted by the accepting depository institution XX/XX/2022. The check was returned on XX/XX/2022 along with a {$10.00} Deposited Item Return Fee from the accepting bank. The depository bank can not give any information as to why there is a stop payment besides that the check may be stale-dated, which it was not. The check was deposited within six months after it's date. The funds need to be replaced for the check so that the the customer 's account is properly charged and there is a timely credit for the value of the check presented for payment. Contacting the principal doesn't help as its agent handles payment after the payment is authorized.

Dear Legal Department, This credit dispute is being submitted as a new evidence dispute. The accounts that are being disputed, does not belong to me. Below is my sworn statement concerning these credit issues. 

It is my sworn statement that I declare under penalty of perjury ( " under the laws of the United States " if executed outside of the United States '' ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and a willful misstatement or omissions of material facts constitutes a federal criminal violation punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable l1S perjury under 18U.S.C. 1621. 

The tradelines listed below are items currently within my credit file, and none of these are related to any transaction that was made by me. It is my official statement that someone and/or several people have opened these accounts and made transactions on these accounts without my knowledge or authorization, my personal information has been used to obtain goods, services, or money : and the person ( s ) responsible for creating these accounts. 

I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. I have reached out to all of these creditors and have made them aware that these accounts were fraudulently opened, and they have known this for several months, but have yet to remove these accounts from my credit reports. Some of the creditors have been cooperative and have removed the accounts, but others have refused to remove the fraudulent accounts. Therefore, I have come to you, the credit reporting agencies to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block these accounts while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so. 

I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency and that they would not file the report because I didn't have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person. 

Likewise, these COLLECTION ACCOUNTS are also not mine. None of these belong to me. This means that I was not the person, which had an account with the original creditor, which has sold these accounts to these collection agencies that are now reporting the debts.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (AZ)

( Translated from XXXX to English by a family member ) Account ending in XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX, I, XXXX XXXX, date of birth XX/XX/XXXX, went into Nordstrom Last chance located on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AZ XXXX. I am XXXX-only speaking and was assisted by a representative who did not speak XXXX. I understood I was applying for a credit card. I do also recall making two purchases. She rang up a hair clip for about {$1.00} or so, then rag up the rest of my items. Due to the language barrier, I was not sure why, but I thought this was a bit odd. A few months later, I received a collection call from Nordstrom, saying I have a late balance over {$2.00} or so. The entire time, I thought my purchases had been made using my debit card, I dont understand why they would have rang up a hair clip separate, so I thought that was strange. I have NEVER been late on any payments, and would never be late for a transaction under {$2.00}. When I was talking about this with my nephew, who works in the financial services industry, he asked me if I understood the representative who helped me, and I responded with the honest truth, no I did not. He was very concerned with the predatory practice and for the employee not getting a translator or having someone explain what was happening. When he helped me call Nordstrom, the phone representative explained that the store representative gets credit card sales credit for any purchase over one dollar. Clearly, the store employee is manipulating the system by running a transaction over a dollar for her own benefit, and not in the customers best interest. Now, due to a lack of understanding and lack of explanation, there was a purchase for less than {$2.00} that was run on this card that was not in my possession instead of my debit card. I had no reason why to separate my purchase into two purchases, but was manipulated by an employee to benefit her sales goal. Now due to this purchase for less than {$2.00}, it has created a 60 day late reporting to my credit and created so much damage to my score, hindering my home purchase. I really need for this to be corrected, as this was malicious and a predatory lending practice.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: I.C. System, Inc. (FL)

Upon researching how to file this complaint, I discovered that IC System, the company this complaint is regarding, has violated Regulation F of the FDCPA. IC System did not include an itemized list of charges. IC System did not include a returnable form allowing the consumer to check a box for " This is not my debt '', " This amount is wrong '', or " Other ''. Regulation F requires this to be included in the validation letter, and IC System is in direct violation. 

IC System has unexplained charges on their debt validation letter. I'm unsure of how to upload a copy of this letter to the CFPB. It lists {$430.00} as " Previous Balance '', which is not a validation of the debt, and has no explanation of where this balance came from. 

IC System did not send me required correspondence within XXXX days of initial contact, which is required by the FDCPA. 

IC System has falsely reported negative information on my credit reports after being disputed, and they have refused to discuss a remedy for this false reporting. 

IC System has caused me measurable harm, and is liable under the FDCPA for up to {$1000.00} in civil penalties. This is an attempt to resolve the matter and have myself made whole. If IC System refuses to resolve the matter with the CFPB intervention, I will be filing a lawsuit.

He said they did back in XXXX, so I asked hime to send me another in certified mail and he said he would not because that costs money. I told him until I receive a letter verifying the debt to stop calling me and hung up on him.

XXXX  ; Experian and XXXX  are reporting incorrectly that I am ( 120-180 ) days late on the XXXX   XXXX XXXX partial account number XXXX. ( Please see page attached from my credit report. ) First, all of these accounts report a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due. Second, these accounts are currently being coded as an XXXX. These accounts should be coded as an XXXX. I have contacted the bureaus and have spoken to multiple representatives who have verbally stated to me they can not change the coding on these infractions. This is not true. I have spoken to my loan officer, as well as my lender, and it was confirmed that the coding on these items can be changed by the bureaus to report accurate information. I am not disputing any prior late payments however, these accounts are being reported as if I am past due in present day. Keep in mind that it is impossible to be late on an account where nothing is owed and nothing is past due. It is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to not report accurate coding information on a credit report. This false reporting of lates is seriously harming my credit score and all of these line items need to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the bureaus to remove these however, I have not been successful.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OH)

Under the accounts named " XXXX, '' and " XXXX XXXX '' I am requesting that these two accounts be removed from my credit report. There are inconsistencies and incomplete information on these two accounts in all three credit bureaus. The account named XXXX XXXX has inconsistencies and errors. XXXX  has incomplete information under the account information. The term of the account is missing. Also XXXX  is still reporting that I am still making payments on a closed account from XXXX to XXXX when they classified it as a charge off in XX/XX/XXXX. The High Credit amount is not shown and the term frequency says Monthly while XXXX  's information doesn't give a term. Also, the account number is missing completely in my Equifax report. Under XXXX  the last payment made is inconsistent with the information Equifax gave. My date of last payment is XXXX XXXX, XXXX while XXXX  says that my last payment date was XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Also, XXXX  has me current on payments from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I don't have any open accounts with these creditors. Under the account named XXXX my XXXX  credit account has numerous unlisted information, it's incomplete. I want it removed from my credit report. XXXX  shows that it reach it's 90 day mark in XXXX XXXX when it was supposed to be charged off. While Equifax  says it was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX. However, XXXX  says it was actually charged off in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX  says it was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX. There are numerous inconsistencies here. Equifax  listed the date the account was reported was XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX  and XXXX  both says that the term was 8 months. However, Equifax  says the term frequency was monthly. Clearly there are much inconsistencies in the reports and I am requesting the removal of theses account. 

Thank you, XXXX

Please address my concerns attached or point to where you have addressed all my concerns. XXXX family needs impartial justice.

I have requested they provide proof that these items belong to me and no such proof was provided they are in multiple violations of the fair credit. My understanding is they have 4 days to block the fraudulent items on my credit report. They have failed to do so in that time frame. They have also failed to provide any proof of ownership for accounts circled in attached report.
