Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (SC)

CC : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) CC : South Carolina Attorney General ( Complaint Filed ) CC : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) CC : Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) CC : XXXX, XXXX, Transunion Dear XXXX FUNDING ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) I am writing to dispute the charge-off that appears on my credit report for account XXXX. I believe that this charge-off was the result of multiple violations of federal law, including the Uninformed Decision Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1601 ( a ), the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( g ) ( 2 ), and the Adequate Notice Law ( 1643 of 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( k ). Therefore, I am requesting that it be removed from my credit report. 

Firstly, I was not properly informed of my rights and responsibilities under the Uninformed Decision Law. This law requires that creditors provide consumers with certain information, including the cost of credit and the consequences of non-payment, before they can legally charge off an account. I believe that I did not receive adequate information regarding my rights and responsibilities, and as a result, I made an uninformed decision. Such notice may be given to a cardholder by printing the notice on any credit card or honest on each periodic statement of account issued to the cardholder or by any other means reasonably assuring the receipt thereof by the card holder. 

Secondly, I have not received any documentation from the creditor showing that I owe the debt in question, which is a violation of the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law. I am therefore unable to verify the accuracy of the charge-off. The only evidence of this debt was the agreement but the agreement, but that agreement was null and void because I made an uninformed decision, I did not understand this agreement and it was not clear and conspicuous. 

Lastly, I do not believe that I received adequate notice from the creditor regarding the status of the account, which is a violation of the Adequate Notice Law. I did not receive any communication or notification from the creditor regarding the impending charge-off, and I was not given an opportunity to rectify the situation before the charge-off occurred. 
Given these violations of federal law, I request that you investigate this charge-off and provide me with a detailed explanation of why it was reported. If it was indeed the result of violations of federal law, I ask that you remove it from my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this issue as soon as possible. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian, for their refusal to update my personal information on my credit report. On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a personal information update letter to Experian, XXXX, XXXX, requesting the correction of my address and other personal details. This letter was accompanied by the necessary documentation, including a copy of my driver 's license, Social Security card, and a utility bill to verify my address. The document was also notarized. 
However, on XX/XX/year>, I received a response from Experian, stating that my request could not be processed because I did not provide a government ID. This statement is incorrect and misleading, as I had included all required documents, including a government-issued ID, in my initial submission. 
Attached to this complaint, you will find a copy of my original personal information update letter and all supporting documents that were submitted to Experian, I believe that Experian, refusal to update my information is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under sections 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( Compliance procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy ).

Experian, failure to acknowledge and properly review the provided documentation is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA. According to the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and must be provided with a fair and reasonable investigation of their dispute. By ignoring the documentation I provided, XXXX has failed to uphold their obligation to conduct a fair investigation, thereby violating my consumer rights.

A business that uses Cash App as the payment provider scammed me out of {$280.00} and cash app will not assist me with getting my money back the the person who is over this fake company. I have reached out multiple times and at first I was getting the run around about getting information about my account despite me sending actual screen shots from my cash app sending them all of my information. Then they stop responding to my request via email. Cash App is a company that does not help with the financial security while users use the profile. The fake company is also still active despite being a scam.

I reviewed my Consumer Reports and noticed that I had two late payments on an account that I was never late for. Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report Consumer information to the best of their ability with Maximum Accuracy. I have never been late on payments for the accounts : Account Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Reason : Incorrect late payment Instruction : The payment history is incorrect. Late payments from the entire account history were all on time. 

Account Name : XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX Reason : Incorrect late payment Instruction : The payment history is incorrect. Late payments from the entire account history were all on time. 

Please investigate and provide Proof with statements showing that these payments were late. If proof can't be provided I demand these payments be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER Late. Thanks,

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Law Office of Stephen Buckley PLLC (NY)

I am writing to complain regarding a letter I received from the Law Office of Stephen Buckley PLLC, dated XX/XX/year>. The letter attempts to collect an alleged consumer debt on behalf of XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 

This communication constitutes the first instance in which I have been contacted by this debt collector, and I have received no further communications from this debt collector as of the date of this complaint. 

After reviewing the letter, I believe it violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) in at least the following ways : Failure to Provide Validation Notice : The letter does not include the validation notice required by 15 U.S.C. 1692g. As this was the debt collectors initial and only communication with me, this omission represents clear violation of federal law. 

Failure to Provide Other Required Notices : The letter does not include the notices required by 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 11 ), including that any information obtained will be used for the purpose of debt collection. 

Attempt to Collect a Nonexistent Debt : The debt referenced in the letter has already been disputed under the procedures of the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), and XXXX XXXX rendered a decision in my favor that no debt is owed to the merchant. The attempt to collect this purported debt is a misrepresentation of the character, amount, and legal status of the debt, in violation oXXXX 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 2 ). 

False Threat of Legal Action : The letter falsely states that a lien will be placed on my property within seven ( 7 ) days of the letters date. This statement is a direct violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 4 ) and ( 5 ) as it falsely threatens an action that the debt collector has no legal authority to take. It also constitutes false and deceptive means to collect a debt, in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 10 ).
