Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I have a bankruptcy reporting on XXXX of my credit reports ( XXXX and Experian ). I have contacted both credit bureaus on more than XXXX occasion requesting this be investigated, the method of verification provided and for the account to be removed. I have also provided a letter from the court stating that they do not report public records to the credit reporting agencies, however I continue to receive letters stating that the debt has been verified but have failed to provide the method in which the debt was verified after several requests. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, my rights have been violated. 

15 U.S Code 1681 Section 602A, states that I have a right to privacy.

15 U.S Code 1681E ( b ), states that a consumer reporting agency shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

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.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — 
Company: CNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TX)

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX On XX/XX/23 XXXX I called XXXX ChecknGo customer feedback department. to request an adjustment to the bi-weekly payment. Obtained installment loan on XX/XX/23 for {$1500.00}. The terms are : twelve bi-weekly payments of {$270.00} I completed the first payment on XX/XX/23. XXXX XXXX branch phone number is : XXXX, I spoke with XXXX XXXX, store manager, She is the person whom I signed documents in person with. 

The loan helped me pay off some debt but I am noticing that the bi-weekly payment is already causing a financial burden. I underestimated the payment plan and did not fully understand how much the interest is on each payment. The contract does not show each payment breakdown. The only method to lower the payment is to refinance. I would have to make an initial payment of 30 % towards the balance, which would be to {$450.00}, which I can not afford. My wife has major health concerns I need to address financially, hence one of the reasons why I asked for funding. 

I can however afford {$120.00} bi-weekly. This will be less stressful and even allow me to make principle payments now and then when I obtain overtime from employer. but the {$270.00} bi-weekly is making it impossible to pay down principle to reduce interest fees. 

If you can please assist me please. Thank you - XXXX XXXX XXXX www.checkngo.com

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Collection Bureau of America Ltd. (CA)

I received a voicemail from Collections Bureau of America ( CBA ) stating that I owed {$120.00} on an account with XXXX. This was the first time I was informed of any outstanding balance. 

Following the voicemail, I contacted the agent on the voicemail who hung up on me. I called XXXX directly to inquire about the debt. XXXX confirmed that my account had been sent to collections. 

I then called CBA to request a debt validation letter and any written details about the debt, as I had not received any prior notification from either XXXX  or CBA. 
Each time I attempted to discuss the matter, CBA hung up on me. Despite multiple calls from different phone numbers, CBA has consistently refused to provide a validation letter or any written notice of the debt. This lack of transparency has raised concerns about the legitimacy of their claims. 

I am concerned that this issue, if unresolved, may impact my credit score. I have a strong credit history and handle my accounts responsibly. I am attaching the voicemai transcript left by CBA as evidence of their initial contact. Since then, they have not reached out to me further. It is I that have been trying to get to the bottom of this. Ive also attached in the documentation of the last bill received from primo water, and proof that I submitted the payment. They are both screenshots of the emails. I received from them the last ones. 
If you look in the attachment directly from XXXX XXXX  you will see my account number and all the pertinent information. This was the last correspondence I ever received from them until I received the voicemail from the collections department with the phone number.
