The 3 credit bureaus must verify these items under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). I'm hoping that these disputed items get corrected.

Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis (CA)

Genesis reported invalid debt to credit reporting agency in XX/XX/XXXX. I disputed through credit reporting agency in XX/XX/XXXX. Came back verified. On XX/XX/XXXX I called Genesis and asked what this is. They told me the amount and name of original creditor. I told them they must have a mistake. I then filed a complaint on XXXX website. The email they sent me included a brief summary of amount owed and how to pay along with attached bill and apartment lease. This email did not disclose my right to dispute this debt anywhere in it. The claimed debt that genesis  is saying I owe was in XX/XX/XXXX. From XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I never received any sort or communication what so ever from genesis  during that period. In XXXX complaint, Genesis even admits that debt validation was sent only after I filed complaint with XXXX  in XX/XX/XXXX. I believe Genesis has improperly reported this claimed debt without meeting their obligations under the FDCPA.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

This complaint is a continuum of complaint number : XXXX. 

I contacted American Express on XX/XX/2023 in regards to case number XXXX. The statement cycle in which the payment was posted was from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ( attached ). In reviewing my current statement, I am unable to locate where American Express provisionally credited me the amount of the disputed item. The dispute does not appear deducted from the XXXX or current statement. In all, it appears that American Express has held me responsible for the amount in dispute. 

This action appears to be a potential violation of Truth-in-Lending. Under Truth-in-Lending, the consumer has the right to withhold the disputed amount, and collection is prohibited. I am requesting a written response from American Express as to why it potentially appears I was held responsible for a disputed amount and if not, where the provisional credit is detailed. As of XX/XX/2023, there has been no resolution of the charge or notice provided.

Company: DISCOVER BANK (MD)

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against Discover Bank and their collection agency, XXXX and XXXX XXXX, for non-compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in their handling of an alleged debt. 

Description of the Incident : The sole correspondence I received regarding the alleged debt was from XXXX and XXXX XXXX, representing Discover Bank. This initial contact occurred on XX/XX/2023. Subsequently, I sent a written request for debt validation to XXXX and XXXX XXXX within the required XXXX period, as outlined by the FDCPA. This request was dispatched on XX/XX/2023 via certified mail. A copy of this letter is included in the attachments for your reference. 

Violation of FDCPA : Under the FDCPA, collection activities must be suspended upon receiving a written request for debt validation until the debt is confirmed ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ). However, neither Discover Bank nor XXXX and XXXX XXXX has acknowledged my request or provided the necessary validation, yet they continue with their collection efforts. This behavior is a clear violation of the FDCPA. 

Violation of FCRA : The FCRA mandates accurate credit reporting. The continuation of reporting this unverified debt by Discover Bank could potentially be erroneous, adversely affecting my credit score and report. This situation may constitute a violation of the FCRA 's requirements for accurate and fair credit reporting.

Request for CFPB Intervention : I respectfully urge the CFPB to investigate these potential violations. The ongoing collection activities and credit reporting, despite my unacknowledged request for debt validation, are concerning and may negatively impact my financial health. 

Attachments : Enclosed are copies of the correspondence from XXXX and XXXX XXXX, my written request for debt validation ( refer to the attached letter sent to XXXX and XXXX XXXX ), and any other pertinent documents. 

Conclusion : I seek the CFPB 's assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring my rights under the FDCPA and FCRA are protected. I am available to provide further information as needed for your investigation. 

Thank you for addressing this important issue. I look forward to your prompt response and a favorable resolution.

Re : Discrepancies and Errors in Credit Reporting by XXXX Dear CFPB, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request an investigation into and resolution of significant discrepancies and inaccuracies in the credit reporting provided by XXXX. As a consumer based in XXXX, Pennsylvania, I have recently started a consumer law practice, and it has come to my attention that XXXX has been reporting incorrect and outdated information, which has adversely affected my XXXX XXXX and my ability to build a favorable credit profile. 

I have attached a packet containing my credit reports from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, which clearly illustrate the discrepancies in XXXX 's reporting. The following issues require immediate attention and correction : Divergence in Credit Scores : XXXX 's XXXX XXXX differs significantly from both XXXX and XXXX. XXXX 's score is XXXX points lower than XXXX and XXXX points lower than XXXX. Such discrepancies raise concerns about the accuracy of XXXX 's reporting. 

Outdated Information : Several entries in my XXXX credit report, such as charge-offs and old closed accounts, have not been updated for several months, despite the same accounts being updated on other credit reports, including XXXX and XXXX. For instance, the " status updated '' date for the XXXX XXXX account is XX/XX/XXXX, while the " balance updated '' date is XX/XX/XXXX, and the " last payment date '' is XX/XX/XXXX. These inconsistencies violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Discrepancies in XXXX XXXX : XXXX reports significantly higher loan and total debt amounts compared to XXXX and XXXX. XXXX 's reporting shows a loan debt of {$28000.00}, while XXXX and XXXX report substantially lower figures of {$20000.00} and {$20000.00}, respectively. These discrepancies are not only inaccurate but also detrimental to my credit profile. 

I kindly request that the CFPB conduct a thorough investigation into these discrepancies and inaccuracies and take the necessary steps to compel XXXX to correct and update the information on my credit report promptly, with all amendments reflected as late as XX/XX/XXXX. These discrepancies not only harm my creditworthiness but also violate my rights as a consumer under the FDCPA and FCRA. 

Enclosed, please find copies of the relevant credit reports with the highlighted discrepancies for your reference. I am also prepared to provide any additional documentation or information you XXXX require to facilitate this investigation. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and your commitment to ensuring fair and accurate credit reporting. Please inform me of any updates or actions taken regarding this dispute. 

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this issue.
