Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: Allen & Withrow (AR)

I am writing to file a complaint against Allen & Winthrow Attorney 's at Law for engaging in unlawful debt collection practices in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

On XX/XX/year>, a default judgment was entered against my ex-husband, XXXX XXXX. There is no court order in place authorizing Allen & Winthrow to collect this debt from me. Despite this, the law firm has issued two Writ of Garnishments to my former employers, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

These actions violate Section 1692e ( 2 ) of the FDCPA, which prohibits debt collectors from communicating with a third party to collect a debt unless the debt collector reasonably believes that the third party may provide information concerning the location of the consumer. In this case, there is no reasonable basis for Allen & Winthrow to believe that my former employers would have any information regarding XXXX XXXX ' whereabouts. 

Furthermore, these actions may constitute harassment under Section 1692d of the FDCPA. Allen & Winthrow is repeatedly contacting my former employers to collect a debt that they have no legal right to pursue. Even if the law firm believes they are owed the debt, they have no legal basis to garnish my wages without a court order attached to a judgment against me specifically authorizing them to do so. 

I have attached copies of the court order and the two Writ of Garnishments for your review. 

I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Allen & Winthrow Attorney 's at Law for their unlawful debt collection practices. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

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.

On the morning of XXXX i was notified via email that a credit card was applied for under my name. This was alarming as i had not applied for any credit cards. I logged onto my Transunion report and realized that this was in fact real. I called the company in question and was told someone must have stolen my identity and that there was nothing they could do about it, except send me a form. And that i have had an account for nearly ten years with them, which was false. I have never heard of this institution. I was then hung up on. I called back about 20 minutes later and was notified that " my account has been transferred to a different institution. ". 

I contacted Transunion and was told that the reporting institution needed to send them a letter so this mark could be removed from my credit report, and now the institution wont answer my phone calls. I want this taken off my credit report as my identity was stolen. This institution i believe may have also been part of this as they refuse to offer any guidance and immediately tried to hide anything they did.

Please be advised that serious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) have occurred. My fundamental right to privacy has been violated by the furnishing of information to consumer reporting agencies without proper consent. Furthermore, the information furnished is inaccurate. 

This action violates multiple provisions of the FCRA, including 15 U.S.C. 1681 Sections 602 ( a ), 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ). 

I demand the immediate removal of the inaccurate and unlawfully furnished account information from all consumer reports. 

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) is requested to publish a description of these violations on consumerfinance.gov to protect consumer rights. 

Supporting documentation is attached. Failure to rectify these violations will result in further legal action.

I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus a month ago, yet the erroneous information on my report persists. I have not received any updates from the Bureaus, apart from your notification indicating that the company has addressed my complaint. How can I be assured that they have conducted a thorough investigation into the inaccuracies on my report? What procedures were utilized to verify the accounts? This entire situation is exceedingly frustrating. Over 30 days have passed since I lodged my complaint, and the disputed accounts remain unchanged.
