Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: BONDED ADJUSTMENT COMPANY (WA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from Bonded Adjustment Co. while I was driving. The lady told me she was a debt collector trying to settle a medical debt from the end of XX/XX/XXXX. I told her it was in dispute with the insurance company, and that I would be disputing it through the state insurance commissioners office. I also requested that she send me a letter in the mail, as I couldn't write anything down. I told her either way it would get paid. I didn't receive a letter from Bonded Adjustment Co. Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified by my credit monitoring service that a derogatory account had been opened in my name. The next day I called Bonded Adjustment Co to find out how to settle the debt, they said to pay online using my account number that was on a letter. I told them that I didn't get a letter, she huffed and said she would look it up, gave me the number and the amount owing. I went online the same day to pay it, and continue to try and get resolve from the State insurance commissioners office. 

Bonded Adjustment Co in-consistent procedure in taking on a new debt client, by not sending out a debt collection letter has cost me being declined for credit twice, and will inhibit me from getting new contracts for business therefore limiting my families income.

Company: APEX Asset Management, LLC (NJ)

( I a lso did not receive a notice of right to dispute. ) Apex called my cell phone asking for me. They wished for me to verify certain personal information before talking to me, which I declined to give since they did not tell me their name or company information. They said this was about " an account '' I opened ( without any details, no company, no amount ), and did I open said account? I asked what account, and they said they could not tell me until I gave them my information. I declined again, saying I was not going to give personal information to someone over the phone not knowing who they were. They said they were Apex. I said that I have no idea who that is, and declined again to give out information. They said " Then I ca n't help you '', and hung up on me. I had no idea this was a legitimate business until something showed up on my credit report. I never received anything in the mail from them. They also recently called my parents ' home where I no longer live. In this day and age, personal information needs to be protected. It is absurd that Apex calls asking for information without even stating who their company is, the caller 's name, or even what account they are referencing. Any shady person can do these things, why would a legitimate company?

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PA)

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment to be updated. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

" 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. ''

I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft. 

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.
