Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Coast to Coast Financial Solutions, Inc. (OH)

The account in question was at an old address that I hadn't resided at for over a year. The final payment was remitted on XX/XX/2024, in the amount of {$97.00}, and then subsequently closed. The payment was returned due to XXXX own clerical error. They have then chosen to send the final payment in a higher amount than owed, misrepresenting debt owed, to debt collection. I have not received a single written request for this payment, nor is it the correct amount. I refuse to pay them arbitrary extra funds just because they made a mistake on collecting the appropriate money. It is NOT my concern that they have poorly managed technical systems and payments were mishandled.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AL)

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding significant discrepancies in my credit scores across XXXX, XXXX, and Experian Credit Bureaus. Despite the information being identical, there exists a notable difference in scores, with XXXX reporting XXXX, XXXX reporting XXXX, and Experian reporting a significantly lower score of XXXX as of XX/XX/year>. Upon thorough review, it is evident that the reported information across all three bureaus remains consistent. However, the stark contrast in credit scores raises serious concerns about the accuracy and fairness of Experian 's reporting practices. Moreover, the substantial gap of XXXX points between Experian 's score and those of XXXX and XXXX can not be attributed to any discernible difference in the reported information. This inconsistency not only undermines the integrity of my credit profile but also has significant implications for my financial opportunities and access to credit. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the methodologies employed by Experian in calculating credit scores. It is imperative to ascertain whether Experian 's scoring model deviates from industry standards or if there are systemic issues contributing to the disparity in scores.

I am a former First Republic banking customer, who was victim of identity theft the weekend before the company 's accounts were merged into XXXX in early XXXX. First Republic placed a " freeze '' on my bank account during my last week with them ( as per their identity theft procedure ) and wrote copious notes before the IT migration. The account was transitioned into Chase Bank in early XXXX. 

Unfortunately, due to a back end IT bug, the " freeze '' put into place by First Republic has been unable to be lifted from my account for over 2 months. I have been unable to transfer, withdraw, close, or otherwise access my money. The result has been missed credit card bills, missed student loan payments, a drop in my credit score, and an ongoing " inquiry '' that has yet to be resolved. I am currently working with a case manager, but have been told numerous times that the IT bug doesn't have a viable fix and no timeframe for completion.

The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

I wish to dispute the presence of unauthorized accounts on my credit report, as indicated by your bureau. Upon meticulous scrutiny of my credit report, I have determined that these accounts are the results of identity theft. I initiated to contact with the company associated with these accounts, and they assured me that it would be removed from their records. I am aware that other credit bureaus have already removed these fraudulent accounts from their records. This discrepancy raises significant concerns regarding the accuracy and timeliness of your bureau 's reporting practices. Despite my proactive measures to address this issue, the accounts continue to be reported on my credit report by your bureau. In support of my claim, I have lodged a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and have provided the bank with documentation demonstrating the fraudulent nature of these accounts. I respectfully request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit report.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report.
