Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (TX)

In XXXX my identity was stolen and once realized, I filed a police report and identity theft report with the ftc and notified the credit bureaus and companies involved of said fraud. The guilty party is currently being prosecuted in XXXX, Texas. Since notifying XXXX communications of the identity theft, the debt attached to this fraudulent account has been sold over and over again to different creditors, causing a hit to my credit each time it and each time, I am having to contact each company and file disputes, when this should have been taken care of and deleted YEARS ago. I want to file this complaint because the selling of this debt has to be illegal since the account was obtained illegally. Please take the necessary steps to penalize all parties involved in the continued selling of this illegal debt. I should not have to file a complaint to get companies to follow the laws set forth by the laws of this land. Please help!

I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the ongoing presence of fraudulent items despite our repeated attempts to address this issue. Despite the resources and measures allocated to identify and remove these items, it is disheartening to observe their continued infiltration into our system. I urge you to conduct a comprehensive review of our fraud detection and prevention measures to identify any systemic weaknesses or loopholes that may be exploited by perpetrators of fraudulent activities. It is imperative that we implement robust controls and enhanced monitoring mechanisms to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future. Additionally, I urge you to prioritize staff training and awareness programs to ensure that all team members are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to detect and respond effectively to fraudulent activities. Clear accountability measures should also be established to hold individuals responsible for any lapses or oversights in this regard.

On XXXX-2020, I personally mailed a letter in regard to inaccurate and unknown information on my credit report directly related to the Equifax data breach. It's been almost 60 days and I've yet to receive a response. I feel taken advantage of and dismissed by this lack of respect and consideration. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that failure to investigate these items within 30 days is grounds for immediate removal. I demand a swift and prompt removal of all accounts disputed or I'll be forced to file litigation against all parties. Thank you kindly in advance.

Back around XXXX of 2020, I lost wallet or it got stolen. So I called the US Bank XXXX XXXX people to let them know. Later that day I realized I had the card in my pocket still from using it the night before. Anyways, I called to let the company know and they told me it was to late my account had been frozen. So in order to get back on my account I got to have a valid ID front and back and take a selfish. Now im like I just told you I don't ha e my wallet ita gone. Anyways, they wanted a front and back picture of my id and had to be the hard copy kind not the paper like they give you. So here I am +3months later and I'm still waiting on my id to come through the mail and on the verge of losing everything. I got {$1500.00} in this account I really need b4 I have no place to live. What I'm saying is can't the people over at US Bank or XXXX XXXX services do some kind of zoom or face time to verify who I am. I mean the people that are " '' offline '' ' they use bc you can't talk to them I guess, already know everything about me anyways so surely they have a picture and can see if its me.. Wouldn't that be so much easier and less time consuming. This way people like me can get back to enjoying our lives! But when alot of what we have is in the bank and everything takes months to do at a time. Doesn't this seem alot more sensible? Thank you for your time.

To whom this may concern, This letter is a formal complaint that you have ignored my previous request and failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information, and every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. By the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I demand that these items be investigated and removed from my report. 

The information must be deleted from my report as soon as possible. The information is inaccurate and misleading and as such represents a very serious error in your reporting. 
Under federal law, you have thirty ( 30 ) days to complete your re-investigation. Be advised that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is hereby requested as well, to be provided within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the completion of your re-investigation.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AK)

My account with Equifax was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX and 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 reported to be removed. 


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.

Equifax 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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
