Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc. (NV)

Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Nevada Laws Dear CREDIT COLL, I am writing to address the blatant violation of my rights regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report. This action is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and the Nevada Revised Statutes ( NRS ) Sections 603A.100 and 603A.120.

It has come to my attention that CREDIT COLL has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that consumer consent is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

Additionally, Nevada state law, specifically NRS Section 603A.100, emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Furthermore, NRS Section 603A.120 outlines specific guidelines for the fair reporting of consumer credit information. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for CREDIT COLL to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that CREDIT COLL immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and NRS Sections 603A.100 and 603A.120. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Nevada state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting.

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that CREDIT COLL will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws.

Done in good faith.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MD)

I applied for a credit card in my name from Wells Fargo. My husband had just received a card from them. He applied online and the card arrived in less than a week. 

After following the exact process as my husband, I received a letter that stated that my card was denied because Wells Fargo could not identify me. This is because most of our assets are held jointly by my husband and myself. In order for me to get a card, I have to submit three pieces of ID : a government document with my photo, and at least three months of documentation from each of two accounts that have only my name on them. And, they will not accept email or USPS mail, only fax or delivery in person to a Wells Fargo branch. The nearest one is more than 50 miles away. 

I have contributed to Social Security since I was XXXX. I am now XXXX  and receive a Social Security check each month. I am a retired teacher and receive a pension from the State of New jersey. Our home is owned jointly by my husband and me, without a mortgage as are all other accounts. Our credit rating is over 800. I do have two accounts in my own name, but why is this necessary for me and not my husband? 

My complaint is that because I am a woman, I have to jump through hoops to get a credit card in my name ; my husband only had to apply. Why do I want this credit card? 
A friend who was recently widowed was shocked when all of the credit cards in joint name were stopped upon her husband 's death. 

Thank you for listening to my issues on behalf of all married women.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items.

I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Aspen Yo LLC (VA)

My loan was acquired XX/XX/XXXX by Gregory Funding LLC. Even after receiving Letter of Authorization from my Bankruptcy Attorney ( XXXX XXXX ), The servicer has failed to provide me with detailed information regarding my loan- making it unclear where I stand. After excessive hold times and an escalated call back from a Bankruptcy Representative today, the servicer stated that they are unable to provide me with these two basic requests : -What months am I currently due for? ( In other words, if I make a payment today to your company OUTSIDE OF MY BANKRUPTCY AGREEMENT/POST PETITION PAYMENTS what month will my payment be applied to ) -What is the total delinquency amount? 

The reasons I am requesting this information are as follows : I am currently under review for mortgage payment assistance with the Virginia Mortgage Relief Program and they are in need of detailed information regarding my delinquency that I have been unable to provide due to the incompetency of my current mortgage servicer. My application has been opened since XX/XX/XXXX. 

My intention is also to begin making payments directly to the servicer to pay down the arrearages quicker in the event that I am denied for the XXXX however, I am disputing the total delinquency amount and would like a breakdown of payments due prior to doing so. 

On the call today with representative 'XXXX  XXXX in the Bankruptcy Department XXXX She stammered and stuttered through the reasons she was unable to provide assistance with my requests. On the first 34 minute call ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) I was advised that the information could not be provided to me due to the active bankruptcy ... although she acknowledged receipt of executed Authorization from my attorney. On the second outbound 37 minute call ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) she advised the reason she could not provide the information because the Post Petition Plan was not currently in effect. She argued that the reason that they can not view or obtain the information ( months currently due ), was because the bankruptcy protects the account from Foreclosure. I advised that I am aware of the Bankruptcy Protection Act, however the mortgage servicer should still be able to provide an explanation of arrearages. 

She offered to send out a contractual reinstatement letter but did not seem confident that the letter would provide the information requested. 

I am disputing the total delinquency amount and I am requesting that all arrearages for which can not be explained be forgiven. 

Thank you
