Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis (CA)

My wife and I rented an apartment from XXXXXXXX XXXX in XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. We noticed " admin fees '' were being added to our rent each month for roughly {$180.00} and when we asked what it was for, we were told not to worry about it because they would be reimbursing us for these fees in the form of gift cards and we were also told these gift cards could be used to pay rent. See XXXX. XXXX email from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. These cards were to be issued by a 3rd party called XXXX XXXX, a company that XXXX partnered with to provide gifts to their residents and seem to be doing business with them regularly. 

In the email attachments included, you will see that the gift cards, in fact, were not able to be used for rent when trying to apply them to my debt multiple times. I have documented pictures and proof of the cards not working and her team letting me know they should work and they would be contacting the company. See XXXX XXXX with error messages I was getting from their website attempting to use the gift cards and sending this to the leasing team. I sent the emails containing the gift card links back to the leasing office as soon as they didn't work. I was told they would work with the company to address this issue and I had to continuously follow up with them for a few months until I finally heard back in XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, the manager, informed us that they requested the gift card balance be sent back to them to apply directly to our account. I followed up with them for a month and received no response. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX informed me that management would apply a concession in the amount of {$2300.00} as per her email on XXXX XXXXXXXX. At this time, I did nothing with the gift cards as we were told that management would be removing the credit from them and using it towards our concession. 2 months went by and we heard nothing from from so I followed up as our lease was coming up and they had our security deposit and had not issued the concession they were claiming we should've received in XXXX. I was ignored and when we moved out, they didn't mention the gift cards again. Before we moved out, I let them know again that they failed to send us the concession that was promised in XXXX and that they could take that money and apply it to the last month rent as we did not want them stealing money from us. They finally replied to us, after we moved out, claiming they reached out to XXXX XXXX to reissue gift cards, which never happened, and that we still owed them money. And then, last month, I was contacted by Columbia Debt Recovery and was informed that I owed them the remaining balance of {$2200.00} and it was starting to accrue interest. I pled my case to the credit bureaus but they could do nothing so I'm hoping this can help resolve what I believe is not my debt to pay.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (NY)

I have been using my PayPal account for a few months, and since day one had nothing but trouble.They forced me to provide my personal information which was not required during account opening, but even after receiving all the information requested, they fail to process payments 60% of the time. Every time I call in and ask what seems to be the issue, I get a response that it’s a security concern and they can not disclose specifics. When I sold items, my funds were kept on hold as well, but at least they were released later on. Now I am trying to make a payment for a product I purchased on XXXX, and once again I am being told that for security of my account I can not make a payment. I don’t need PayPal to provide me security, I need PayPal to do what they claim they do, process a payment, since their largest share holder, XXXX, forces their sellers to accept payments through PayPal, which should be an antitrust concern addressed by DOJ as well.I was given a million different reasons why my payments are being blocked. “My purchase pattern is not consistent”, which means if I buy a $XXXX  toy for my son,  I can not buy him $XXXX  XXXX, because they are 8 Times as expensive and definitely can not buy a $XXXX watch. What PayPal is doing is criminal, and it has cost me a lot of money and aggravation. They feel that they are above the law, I hope that CFPB can explain to them that they are not.Thank you

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: HW Holding, Inc (MI)

I have disputed this amount owed for almost two years. In XX/XX/XXXX I resided in a very shady apartment complex and was on a month to month lease. In XX/XX/XXXX I moved out of the complex and provided the management office with 45 days notice pursuant to my original lease agreement which was only for one year and expired in XX/XX/XXXX. I handed in my keys and moved into my house. In XX/XX/XXXX I received a notice from a debt collection company claiming that I had not provided 45 days notice prior to leaving and that I did not turn in my keys until XX/XX/XXXX, which is false. I never went back to that complex once I  left it. I also spoke to the management office several times from in the months leading up to my departure to let them know and to make sure that there was nothing else I needed to do. They are now claiming that I owe upwards of {$1500.00} and they kept my {$850.00} security deposit and put it towards the balance, so really they are claiming I owe closer to {$2400.00}. I 100 % dispute this. They refuse to assist me and they refuse to remove it from my bureau 's. This is abusive collection tactics at it's best. I have been told by one collector that I had a lawsuit against me, which I do not and one collector told me I lived in a state where one could be garnished. At this time no suit has been filed and I feel that the company portrays very abusive tactics.

" 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 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. ''
