Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Cascade Capital, LLC (TX)

A request for verification/validation was made approximately XX/XX/2020. Consumer received nothing until approximately XX/XX/2020 by first class mail. Not only was the information received late, the information provided failed to include the address of the alleged original creditor. In addition, very personal information was included such as the last four of my social security number and my full date of birth. This information is used in personal transactions to identify myself ( personal identifying information ) and should have been masked to prevent abuse and misuse if the wrong party received it, which could be detrimental in almost every area of my life. Also, it appears that there was a violation of HIPPA laws. My right to privacy has been violated and XXXX and Cascade Capital , LLC, failed to take necessary steps to protect information deemed personal.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

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.

I am filing this complaint to bring to your attention that TransUnion has unlawfully re-inserted several fraudulent accounts on my credit report, which had previously been deleted. These accounts are the result of identity theft and should have been permanently blocked and removed under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ).

The fraudulent accounts include multiple Navient accounts ( details attached ).

TransUnion is in violation of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ) regarding the re-insertion of previously deleted material : 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) mandates that I should have been notified in writing within five business days of the reinsertion. I received no such notice.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( iii ) requires that TransUnion provide the business name and address of the furnisher of information and their contact details, which were not provided to me.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( i ) prohibits the reinsertion of deleted information unless the furnisher certifies the accuracy of the information. There is no indication that this requirement was fulfilled.

Subject : Complaint Against Transunion for Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Transunion for its failure to properly investigate and remove inaccurate account information from my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 611 ).

Account Information : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Amount : {$9900.00} I previously submitted a dispute to Transunion regarding the inaccuracies in the above-referenced account. Despite providing evidence supporting the inaccuracies and requesting its removal from my credit report, Transunion failed to conduct a thorough investigation and the disputed account remains on my credit report.

As a consumer protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I have the right to request the removal of inaccurate or outdated information from my credit report. Transunion failure to comply with this law is a violation of my consumer rights and has caused me financial harm and distress.

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Transunion for its non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am seeking the immediate removal of the inaccurate account information from my credit report and appropriate measures to ensure that Transunion upholds its obligations under the law.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution and your assistance in rectifying this issue.

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of a fraudulent account under the name XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) on my XXXX credit report. As of XX/XX/year>, this account falsely shows a balance of {$11000.00}. This account was fraudulently opened without my knowledge or consent and was subsequently sold without my authorization. I demand its immediate removal from my credit report and request a thorough investigation into this matter, as well as appropriate compensation for the damages caused. 

Issue Identified The XXXX XXXX XXXX account reported on my XXXX credit report, with a fraudulent balance of {$11000.00} as of XX/XX/year>, is not mine. It was fraudulently created and does not represent any legitimate debt or obligation that I have incurred. Furthermore, this account and my private information were sold without my consent, constituting a violation of my privacy rights and consumer protections. 

Violations and Impact The inclusion of this fraudulent account on my credit report violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The presence of this account has caused undue harm to my credit profile, including a negative impact on my credit score and potential financial opportunities. 

Applicable Laws and Regulations XXXX. 15 USC 1681c-2 - Blocking of Information Resulting from Identity Theft : This provision allows consumers to request the blocking of information resulting from identity theft. I am exercising my right under this law to request the immediate removal of the fraudulent account from my credit report.

" 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. ''
