Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc. (TN)

Back in the early month of XX/XX/2022 I contacted this company for validation of the debt they have inaccurately reported to my credit profile. I have found *several* inaccuracies on my report that further prove my suspicion of this account being fraudulent and NOT MINE. Attached is proof of the credit report with misinformation differing across the three credit bureaus. I kindly request this item to be removed completely, never to be added back again. I understand that the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulates credit bureaus and collection agencies to ensure proper and accurate reporting for all consumers. In this case, I have not been treated fairly as the reported accounts are continuing to show -- with mismatch information especially. The history for XXXX and XXXX is missing -- COMPLETELY. The history for XXXX has gaps in payment history and differs from the other reports that XXXX and XXXX has provided. The last activity dates are inconsistent and seemingly updated randomly. The account status is inconsistent across the bureaus -- showing closed AND open. Again, this is a very clear-cut violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This company does NOT care about reporting accurate information -- nor do they care about customer complaints when said customer is a victim of identity theft. I need something done about this immediately!

Product: Mortgage — Other type of mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (GA)

I applied for a HELOC around or about XX/XX/2021, before applying for the refi, I requested a hardship waiver from XXXX XXXX on a grant I received when I purchased my property. The request to XXXX XXXX was asking XXXX XXXX to subordinate their loan position to Wells Fargo. INVEST XXXX would not do a HELOC, but if I was willing to do a Regular Refi with a Cash-Out they would consider my request. XXXX XXXXXXXX subordinate position would not require me to make monthly payment but would only secure their position in the event of a sale of the property. So, I decided to move forward with the loan. Wells Fargo originally agreed to allow XXXX XXXX to go into the secondary position. However, after a lengthy loan application process, a prejudice appraisal from a Wells Fargo authorized appraiser ( which it took me another 30 days to appeal the appraisal, yes, I had it overturned and raised ), because of the length of time this consumed my initial interest rate of 3.25 % had went up to over 4 %. Wells Fargo days before closing refuse to honor their decision to allow XXXX XXXX to subordinate to a second positions causing me to have to pay {$52000.00} of my Cash-Out, if I decide to move forward with the refi and also take a new interest rate of over 4 %. At that time my credit score was 746 and the LTV for the refi would have been less than 33 %. I can provide all correspondence between myself, XXXX XXXXXXXX and Wells Fargo, including the complete appeal process of the appraisal. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Veteran and a XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXXXXXX for over 35 years. 

What am I looking to accomplish, I would like to be compensated the {$52000.00} of equity lost, I only had 3 years before my matured date of the grant where I would not have been obligated to pay any of the grant back. I would like an additional {$10000.00} for the higher interest rate I had to take because of Wells Fargo XXXX XXXX, the deception of allowing me to believe that they would allow XXXX XXXX to go into a second position days before my closing date. Knowing I had invested time, energy and emotion into this process. 

If CPFB can not assist me with this can you assist in helping me find an attorney that can.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Company: CL Holdings LLC (FL)

I am currently facing an issue with multiple debt collection companies that are reporting on my credit report, which I believe is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Specifically, I have no contracts or agreements with the Jefferson Capital System. 

These companies have not provided any documentation containing my signature that authorizes them to report on my credit or engage in business with me. The following are the specific FDCPA laws that I believe these debt collection companies have violated : 809 Validation of Debts ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) : Debt collectors are required to provide verification of the debt within five days of the initial communication. They must send a written notice containing the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor, and a statement that unless the consumer disputes the debt within 30 days, it will be assumed valid. In this case, the above-mentioned debt collection companies have not provided such validation or verification of the debt. 
XXXX07 False or Misleading Representations ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ) : Debt collectors are prohibited from using any false, deceptive, or misleading representation in connection with the collection of any debt. Reporting to credit bureaus without a legitimate basis and without proper documentation or contract constitutes a misleading representation of the debt 's validity. 
808 Unfair Practices ( 15 U.S.C. 1692f ) : Debt collectors may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt. Reporting a debt to credit bureaus without having the proper contractual authority or verification is considered an unfair practice.

818 Furnishing Certain Deceptive Forms ( 15 U.S.C. 1692j ) : It is illegal for debt collectors to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that it would be used to create a false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes. 
Given the lack of documentation and absence of a contractual agreement, the actions of XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX appear to be in violation of the aforementioned provisions of the FDCPA. I am seeking resolution and removal of these erroneous reports from my credit history. 

They are violating federal law and committing fraud by claiming that I owe them any money. They are using fraudulent means to unjustly enrich themselves.

However, BOTH of my XXXX XXXX cares it card accounts are now being investigated. Why is Equifax investigating both of my XXXX XXXX credit card accounts and what is the reason for the dispute.

Please dismiss BOTH disputes on my XXXX XXXX credit cards. They both are reporting correctly. Please stop Equifax from fraudulently removing my good accounts that I have a very long history with.
