XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX Opened- I am requesting that this tradeline be removed from all three of my credit reports. Back in XX/XX/XXXX, I moved into XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I put in my 60 days notice to the property after hearing about break ins at the property. During my transition in XX/XX/XXXX, I returned to my property at XXXX and confirmed that my unit was broken into. My unit was next door to the leasing office ( gated community, but access to units on the sides of gates for non-residents to enter ). I filed a police report with XXXX Police Department and notified the property. I was advised that no balance was due after me submitting my 60 day notice, along with moving for safety after my property was destroyed and items were stolen. I was later contacted by XXXX regarding a debt owed to the property that they were collecting on. I received no documentation or proof of this debt being owed. The collector is trying to collect on a company that is permanently closed, shortly after the multiple break ins that took place after mine. This account continues to be on my reports after many years. Ive been told by agents that if paid, it will be removed, but no proof of pay to delete when requested. Small payments were applied after confirming they would settle for what was paid within the 30 days and no deletion of the trade line. The account reflects as OPEN and reports as Collection monthly.

In XX/XX/XXXX, Paragon Revenue Group sent a collection notice to my home address. Around that time, Paragon Revenue Group was leaving daily voicemails regarding the debt. 

Payment for the the debt described in the collection notice was remitted to the original creditor in XX/XX/XXXX. Per the debt notice, I sent a letter to Paragon Revenue Group stating that the debt was paid. I also included the following in the letter : " Be forewarned that this debt has been paid in full, and any attempt to falsify verification of the debt or obtain a judgment without proper evidence will be in violation of 807 of the Act, False or misleading representations, and therefore subject to, 813 of the Act, Civil liability. '' Approximately 10 days later, Paragon Revenue Group responded with a letter stating that they verified the debt by consulting their records and that the debt is still owed. 

This statement, if not read carefully, may be interpreted as their actually verifying the debt. It is misleading. I suspect they use the same language with other consumers who probably do not owe the debt but pay anyway because it sounds as Paragon Revenue Group actually verified the debt.

" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''
