Subject : Formal Complaint Against XXXX XXXX XXXX for Failure to Provide Documentation and Fraudulent Account Reporting. 

I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding their handling of an account that they have reported as mine. Despite my efforts to seek validation of this account, XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to provide me with the necessary documentation. I want to reiterate that this account is not mine and is a result of fraudulent activity. 

On XX/XX/year>, I emailed XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting documentation to verify the legitimacy of the account in question. However, to date, I have not received any response from XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor have they provided the requested documentation to validate this debt as mine. 

In addition to their lack of response to my email, XXXX XXXX XXXX has also failed to comply with several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). These violations include : XXXX. Failure to provide accurate and complete information about the account. 

XXXX. Failure to conduct a reasonable investigation after receiving a dispute from a consumer. 

XXXX. Reporting inaccurate information to credit bureaus without verifying the accuracy of the information. 

XXXX. Failure to provide a method for consumers to dispute inaccurate information. 

I am deeply concerned by XXXX XXXX XXXX ' lack of transparency and their disregard for consumer rights. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against XXXX XXXX XXXX for their violations of consumer protection laws. 

As a consumer, I have the right to request and receive documentation that substantiates the existence and ownership of any debt being pursued by a collection agency. It is imperative that XXXX XXXX XXXX complies with this request in a timely manner to ensure fair and lawful treatment in this matter. 

To clarify, all of the following documentation is required to substantiate the legitimacy of the collection account in question : XXXX. A complete account statement detailing the original creditor, the amount owed, and the date of delinquency. 

XXXX. Copies of any contracts or agreements related to the debt with my signature. 

XXXX. Proof of ownership of the debt by XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX. Verification that XXXX XXXX XXXX is licensed to collect debts in my state. 

XXXX. Any other relevant documentation supporting the collection account 's validity. 

If XXXX XXXX XXXX is unable to provide the necessary documentation to validate this debt as mine, I demand that they immediately delete this account from all credit reporting agencies to which it has been reported. Failure to do so will result in further action being taken to protect my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I have always maintained an impeccable payment record with the XXXX, with all my payments set up on Autopay. This reported late payment is due to a system error on their part during payment processing.

This billing error by the company does not reflect my payment history and violates USC Code 1681eb. This mistake has severely impacted my reputation, character, lifestyle, and my family.

I insist that the late payment listed in the MONTHS REPORTING LATE be removed immediately.

The company is not complying with 15 USC 1666b, which outlines the standards for treating a payment as late. They incorrectly reported my payment as late without following the law. 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) specifies that a creditor can not consider a payment late unless reasonable procedures ensure that the periodic statement, with required information per section 1637 ( b ), is mailed or delivered to the consumer at least 21 days before the payment due date.

The company failed to send the periodic statement and disclosures as required by section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the due date in good faith under rule 1002, but it has never been provided. 

This situation is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and unjust to me as a consumer. 

I demand the removal of the late payments from my consumer reports.

I looked at my report back on XX/XX/year> and noticed some things are incomplete and not accurate. I sent a letter to XXXX Equifax and XXXX in XX/XX/year> and asked them to investigate the completeness and accuracy. I received the results and noticed they did not fix nothing. There are breaking Federal law According to 15 USC 1681e ( b ) it states this ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 
So I then asked them to provide me a description of the investigation according to 15 USC 1681 ( 7 ) : ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description. 
But they did not do that as well either. 
They are also breaking these laws as well below According to 15 USC 1681 ( 5 ) it states this ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( i ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified r deleted from the file of the consumer.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: RUSHMORE LOAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC (OH)

Our residential property at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, OH XXXX was purchased on XX/XX/XXXX. The mortgage loan was refinanced with XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX and concurrently a Home Equity Line of Credit ( HELOC ) for {$15000.00} was established. Subsequently XXXX sold the mortgage loan to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) and the HELOC to Rushmore Loan Management Services ( RLM ). 
The mortgage loan was fully paid off on XX/XX/XXXX and the lien was released by XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX without any complications. 
The HELOC with account number XXXX continued with RLM even though funds have never been borrowed through that facility. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, RLM arbitrarily informed me that the borrowing facility would no longer be available. Their decision to freeze the HELOC was based on some unknown reduction in my credit score. My credit reputation has been and continues to be unblemished and their action was unjustified. Not only did they deprive me of this financing facility but they have continued to deny me the opportunity to obtain similar financing from other institutions. 
In repeated correspondence with RLM they are insisting that I should pay a {$40.00} fee for releasing the lien. This fee is not stipulated in my original agreement with XXXX nor was it assessed when the mortgage loan was paid off to XXXX.

To ensure that your company is reporting accounts 100 % accurately, I would like to know the procedures used to investigate these inaccurate accounts. Did you even conduct an investigation because it is still not reporting 100 % correctly? 

Its sad that your company would ignore the FTC guidelines in regard to your investigation efforts. I wonder if other consumers are being affected by your lack of investigation. I would like to know to whom you talked with at the collectors office when you started your investigation? Also, please send me their complete address. In addition, please do not send your template letter on how you conduct an investigation. I want details on how you did this.
