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. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Rent Recovery Solutions (TX)

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally dispute the presence of a debt on my credit report, which has been reported by a third-party collection agency listed on my report. I would like to clarify that I do not have any contractual agreement with the said collection agency, and therefore, I am not responsible for the alleged debt they are attempting to collect. 

It is my understanding that the collection agency acquired this debt for a significantly reduced amount, often referred to as " pennies on the dollar. '' In doing so, they assumed the risk associated with the lack of a signed contract from me, the consumer. I believe it is unjust that I am being penalized for a debt that I do not owe, and it is negatively impacting my creditworthiness. 

I kindly request that you investigate this matter thoroughly and remove the disputed item from my credit report. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is your obligation to ensure the accuracy of the information you report. In this case, the inclusion of the alleged debt is inaccurate and misleading, as I have never entered into any contractual agreement with the collection agency. 

Furthermore, I have taken the liberty of cc'ing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) to assist in the resolution of this matter. I have been struggling with this issue since 2020, and despite my efforts, I have not been able to find a satisfactory solution. The negative impact caused by this inaccurate information being reported on my credit report is affecting my financial opportunities and overall well-being. 

I urge you to take prompt action in investigating this dispute and rectifying the inaccuracies on my credit report. I expect to receive a written response from your office within the legally mandated 30-day period, informing me of the actions taken to address this matter. 

Thank you for your attention to this dispute. I trust that you will handle this matter with the utmost professionalism and urgency it deserves. 

Sincerely,

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (RI)

CareCredit never reached out to me until I found out it was in collections/charged off and I tried to get in touch with them. I couldn't provide any account information as i never had a physical card, unless there may have been one in app and I wouldn't have had access to that any longer. I paid in app and it was considered paid and I hadn't heard anything saying otherwise. No emails, letters in the mail, or attempts to reach me regarding this so called debt that was already paid in full and certainly not late. First and foremost this account from several years ago was already paid in full via the app within 2 months of receiving the dental work. I don't know where CareCredit gets off saying their information is valid. It's not. And also CareCredit not informing me of this " debt '' before marking it negative, is completely on them. I have reported the fraud to the bureaus, and I have my legal team ready to fight. Also I received very threatening calls on behalf of the company to get the funds. That is a violation of FDCPA. And I believe there are several other issues that this company went against the rules. This debt was supposedly already paid for by another party, and closed so not only did they charge me, and I paid but my credit score and reports have suffered tremendously because of this debt that is less than XXXX CareCredit will be hearing from my lawyers. They also removed this and re-added it to my credit report several times which I believe is illegal, despite being paid off by me then supposedly also some other company paid it off.

My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 in 60 days 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.

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 XXXX

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.
