XXXX XXXX has called almost every day for several months stating I owe them XXXX that they bought from XXXX  XXXX. XXXX XXXX charged it off, I claimed it as additional income on my tax return per the law. I have never signed any agreement with them asking for their financial help. They tried to take me to court back on XX/XX/2017 but the attorney they hired asked the court for a voluntary dismissal. They still harass me on the phone even though I tell them I don't owe them as they have no written agreement with me as a client. This has hurt my credit rating and is against my 13th amendment under involuntary servitude.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.

Complaint Regarding Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by Experian Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian, one of the major credit reporting agencies, for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as well as violations by the reporting parties under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I have discovered that Experian has been reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. Specifically, the trade line in question has been listed without proper validation of the debt, as required by law. Despite my numerous attempts to have the debt validated, the reporting parties have failed to provide the necessary documentation to prove the legitimacy of the debt. Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information they report. Additionally, under the FDCPA, I have the right to request validation of any debt reported, and the reporting parties must cease collection activities until they provide such validation. In this case, neither Experian nor the reporting parties have complied with these legal requirements. Therefore, I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take immediate action to investigate this matter. I am seeking the permanent deletion of the trade line in question from my credit report, as it is not validated and therefore, should not be reported. on request I will enclosed copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation related to my attempts to resolve this issue directly with Experian and the reporting parties. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this complaint. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX Experian Report XXXX XXXX

The info in my credit reports is wrong, making it hard for me to get new credit. When I apply for credit, the errors confuse lenders and paint the wrong picture of my creditworthiness. 

These mistakes seriously harm my financial reputation. So, I formally ask for them to be corrected and removed from my reports. It's crucial that my credit file shows my real financial status for fair assessments by lenders.
