Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally lodge a XXXX regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Several months ago, I requested a Debt Validation Letter from this organization as per my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). However, to date, I have not received any response or the requested validation of the alleged debt. 

In the absence of a Debt Validation Letter, I am unable to verify the legitimacy of this debt. This failure to respond constitutes a violation of the FDCPA, which mandates that a debt collector must provide validation of a debt upon request. 

Given this lack of response, I am formally requesting that this alleged debt be removed from all credit bureaus immediately. The failure of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to provide the requested validation leaves me with no other recourse but to seek your assistance in ensuring that this erroneous debt is expunged from my credit records. 

I trust that the CFPB will take the necessary steps to address this issue promptly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NC)

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the handling of my credit report disputes by the major credit bureaus, including [ Experian, XXXX, and XXXX ]. I believe that the credit bureaus did not conduct a thorough and complete investigation into the items I disputed, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

After conducting my own investigation, I have gathered substantial evidence proving that the credit bureaus did not meet their obligation to investigate my disputes properly. Despite my submission of detailed information and documentation supporting my claims, the credit bureaus failed to correct the inaccuracies in my credit report. As a result, the disputed items remain on my credit report, which has caused significant and unjust harm to my credit standing.

I am requesting the immediate removal of all the disputed items from my credit report, as the credit bureaus have not fulfilled their legal duty to investigate these disputes adequately. I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that my rights are protected and that the credit bureaus comply with the FCRA. 

Thank you for your assistance.

XXXX XXXX is reporting the incorrect balances on my credit report and adding late payments to the account each month. They offered to settle the debt for 80 % less than what is being reported. XXXX XXXX XXXX  is reporting late payments on my report each month even though XXXX XXXX XXXX is managing the account. I was not notified that my info was given to them. I did not find out until I reached out for an update via mail on XX/XX/year>. Both companies are violating the FCRA laws such as, law 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ). I asked for the credit reporting agencies to investigate the accounts and to provide proof of validity ; They did not complete an accurate investigation. If the information is not being reported correctly, it needs to be deleted. 

I reached out to the credit reporting agencies about XXXX XXXX XXXX collection accounts to investigate the validity of these accounts because I do not recognize them. They all sent me automated letters instead of completing an accurate investigation.

Subject : Dispute of Collection Account Under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ) Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute the collection account listed on my credit report by Midland Credit Management . This account is associated with account number Account Number : XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX and is negatively impacting my credit score.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified the following issues, which I believe warrant the removal of this collection account : Failure to Provide Required Information : Under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ), debt collectors are required to provide specific validation information when attempting to collect a debt. Midland Credit Management has failed to provide the necessary validation information, including purchase agreement, the name of the original creditor and itemization of the debt. 

Incorrect Reporting Practices : As per 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ), furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies are required to report accurate information. In this case, the information reported by Midland Credit Management is inaccurate because the debt is being reported without proper validation and it does not belong to me. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and require Midland Credit Management to comply with the provisions of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ). Specifically, I ask that this inaccurate and improperly validated collection account be removed from my credit report immediately. 

Please notify me of the results of your investigation as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
