It started on XX/XX/XXXX the person posing as a XXXX XXXX XXXX rep got my information ( which I shouldnt have done ) and started making claims and disputes with my transactions in my account, when the bank initially gave me the credit on the disputes they made. They then told me they was sending me money for me to moneygram them to a credit bureau. I shouldve known better and they made three transactions like this for {$900.00}, {$820.00}, {$820.00}. And the bank end up closing my account and after they saw my bank statement and I was proving that it was not me making the disputes and claims and transactions they still couldnt find a solution for me besides to file a police report. And when I went to do that the local police department told me they couldnt really do anything. I dont know what to do

To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally dispute a debt claimed by XXXX XXXX XXXX, who allege that I owe XXXX XXXX {$680.00}. I assert that this debt is in error, as I have never utilized their services in XX/XX/year> or at any other time. 

Despite my repeated attempts to resolve this issue directly with XXXX XXXX XXXX, I have not received proper debt validation as required by law. On XXXX occasion, I was left on hold for over an hour without resolution. 

I believe this constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically : - **15 U.S. Code 1692g** - Validation of debts : This statute requires debt collectors to provide validation of the debt upon request, including the amount of the debt and the name of the creditor. 
- **15 U.S. Code 1692d** - Harassment or abuse : The excessive hold time and lack of response could be construed as harassment, which is prohibited under this section. 

Furthermore, the continued reporting of this erroneous debt on my credit report violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : - **15 U.S. Code 1681i** - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy : This section requires credit reporting agencies to promptly investigate and correct inaccurate information on a consumer 's credit report. 
- **15 U.S. Code 1681s-2** - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies : This mandates that companies like XXXX XXXX XXXX  ensure the accuracy of the information they report to credit bureaus. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) intervene to ensure that this fraudulent information is removed from my credit report immediately. This erroneous reporting has caused significant distress and potential harm to my creditworthiness. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
