" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC (IN)

A supposed law firm called my landlord claiming they 've been trying to reach me for weeks with no luck to serve me papers. My landlord notified me and gave me their number. I called them and this was my experience. I thought it was very strange that a law firm representative would be in at XXXX on a Friday XXXX. I thought I 'd get a recording. 
I heard a lot of background noise and the guy that answered said that he could n't give me specific information. He said he had called my relative, referring to my landlord, because he could n't get a hold of me. I pressed him about what he needed me for and how he tried to get a hold of me and he told me that be needed to put me on hold and transfer me to another " representative '' of the law firm. When I was transferred, the lady that answered told me I had to pay a certain amount by next Friday for a supposedly charged off credit card, otherwise thousands of dollars in fees would be added if it went to court. When I asked if she had documentation she could mail me she said she did n't have to. When I asked her if I could get reference numbers she said I could n't until I got " served ''. When I pressed her on being served she was very vague and said she guessed it had n't happened because of all the bad weather we 've been having and the bad weather headed our way. I got her name, phone number and told her I 'd call back Monday after I verified things. She then tried to scare me into paying tonight by saying I 'd be served at any time for failure to pay. Then she said if I called in Monday and paid, she could hold off on serving me. It scared me though how persistent she was and the fact that they called you all! They 've not been to my house at all. They 've sent me nothing in the mail either. 
I did n't catch the name of the supposed law firm either because he spoke so quickly and I remember it being kind of generic, like initials and then LLC.

After getting to Walmart, he informed me that I had to pay the insurance amount of {$190.00} before getting the money in my account.

In the meantime, my husband and I have used just about all of our savings to pay for other necessary expenses such as : property management fees, homeowners insurance, homeowners association fees and other expenses related to the up-keeping of the property. Throughout the months I have contacted my bank ( Wells Fargo ) seeking some assistance as to it has gotten harder and harder to financially support the avoidance of foreclosure but to no avail all I heard was to do a short sale or foreclose and was told you do n't qualify for any of the programs because your loan was not from XXXX XXXX or XXXX. Now, after struggling to make payments on time I have been late 2 times and they are telling me that because I was late I am not eligible for the program ... .very deceiving, called 4 months ago and was told that did not qualify for any assistance even if I was up to date now, because we were late 2 times we do n't qualify because of it. Getting assistance from family has allowed us to make payments on time but is getting harder since the situation is not getting any resolution. Please assist us in finding ways to continue to pay for the property at a reasonable price and to be able to avoid foreclosure since it does not benefit any participating party. We want to do the right thing!!!
