Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc. (MD)

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally dispute three collection accounts that appear on my credit report. I believe these accounts contain inaccurate information and violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

According to Section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA, a debt collector is prohibited from misrepresenting the identity of the creditor, specifically stating that they are the original creditor. In reviewing my credit report, I found that the collection agencies for the following accounts have inaccurately stated that they are the original creditors : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Collections Services These misrepresentations not only violate the FCRA but also harm my credit standing and my ability to secure future credit. Therefore, I request the immediate removal of these accounts from my credit report due to this illegal activity. 

I have attached the relevant documentation regarding these collection accounts for your review. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and the resolution of my dispute.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat this item is being reported correctly? Who verified this item? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA. Since you claim youve verified the item listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THIS ITEM? I believe you have not verified this item based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Hello I recently reviewed my consumer report and I noticed that there were XXXX late payments on my account with XXXX XXXX  open XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX open XX/XX/XXXX that I havent been late for. In addition to that, I have also noticed that several of my consumer rights have been violated in the midst of these late payments being added to my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as outlined in 15 USC 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are responsible for providing maximum accuracy when reporting consumer information, however my consumer report has several inaccuracies that I have attached below. In addition to that late payments are considered transactions due to the late fees that are associated with credit cards & according to 15 U.S. Code 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) consumer reports should not include information pertaining to any transactions or experiences between the consumer and the originator of the report. If this is the case, late payments that I am not responsible for should definitely not be reported on my consumer report! I am aware of several other consumer rights that have been violated and I am prepared to settle for civil liability damages that I have suffered as a result of your violations. Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that these payments were late. If proof can not be provided, I ask that any late payments associated with XXXX XXXX  for the months of XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for the months of XXXX XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX for the month of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX be updated to paid as agreed on time and NOT DELETED so the account can remain active. Thank You! Please see the attached screenshot to view the late payments and inaccuracies that I am disputing. Your cooperation in this matter is crucial to ensure the accuracy of my credit report and to safeguard my rights as a consumer under the FCRA. I appreciate your prompt attention to this dispute and look forward to a resolution in a timely manner.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

After months of exhausting all avenues in an attempt to have Transunion remove inaccurate information from my credit report, the company has continuously disregarded my efforts, responding to each of my disputes with automated replies. Each dispute contained clear evidence of the inaccuracies, including proof that, for two accounts, the creditor failed to provide a copy of my signed agreement within the required 30-day period following my certified mail request. These creditors did not meet the legal deadline, and as a result, these accounts are being reported illegally on my credit profile. 

In light of the ongoing damage Transunion has caused by continuing to report inaccurate and illegal accounts on my credit profile, my lawyer and I have decided to proceed with a lawsuit against Transunion. 

Transunion has 5 days from the receipt of my lawyer 's certified mail to delete all inaccurate and illegal information from my credit report.
