Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: LJ Ross Associates (NY)

I recently received a notification from my bank that my credit had dropped significantly by XXXX points. I freaked out and checked my credit report. I saw that L J ROSS ASSOCIATES had placed a collection notice on my profile for the amount of {$260.00}. 

I called them to find out the details of the amount. The associate on the phone asked for my name, birthday, address, phone number, social security number, AND THEN he asked for my credit card number " in order to verify my identity. '' They assured me it would only cost {$1.00} from the company XXXX XXXX and it was solely to confirm that I am indeed the owner of the debt. 

My husband was sitting next to me, and he nodded yes, so I provided the information. 

Long story short, the associate told me that I owe XXXX XXXX {$260.00}, which is untrue because I have had my account set up for automatic withdrawal since 2021!!!! He said not to worry because companies mistake identities all the time. He sounded very hurried and told me not to wait as having a bad credit score can affect me a lot. He proposed a solution to immediately address the charge to clean my record for a total of {$350.00}!!!! 

I said no. 

I told him I would have to confirm with XXXX XXXX. He told me that would not be possible because once the debt had been sold, the company that sold it wouldn't be able to track it. 

XXXX! That is not how things work. 

First of all, any collection company is required to contact me if I were to owe something. The contact must be either by mail or phone call or both! 

SECONDLY, if I indeed owed {$260.00} to XXXX XXXX and they sold the debt to L J Ross, XXXX would have it written in my record that I owe the money! 

I contacted XXXX XXXX, and they agreed with my statements. XXXX told me : XXXX ) I have paid all my bills, and I don't owe them any balance. 

XXXX ) If they sold my debt to a collection company, they would have made a note in my record. 

I asked L J Ross to provide me with an email or letter indicating the debt. They specifically told me that they can not and they won't do it. 

After I threatened to contact the FTC, I checked my credit report, and the debt was marked " Closed. '' So they closed a debt that doesn't belong to me, and now it's on my report, dragging down my score. 

What XXXX XXXX XXXX did was absolutely cunning and illegal. They wanted to scam me by promoting their " credit cleaning '' service FOR A DEBT THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO ME! 

So I'm making this report to the FTC and after this, I'm contacting the FBI. 

XXXX : I received an email from this company called XXXX XXXX, the one that L J Ross signed me up for using my credit card to " verify my identity '' for {$1.00}. The email said my XXXX trial began and will be renewed for {$24.00}. 

I AM CONTACTING THE FBI ABOUT THIS CASE

Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I attached the PDF file below containing the list of items that have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. 

Credit Bureau stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify or delete accounts that aren't reporting correctly. 

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : 1. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate. 

2. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services. 

3. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and procedures outlined in the FCRA. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : 1. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report. 

2. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes. 

Enclosures : Copies of my credit reports Copies of my dispute letters Copies of any supporting documentation I provided to the credit bureaus

Violation of Consumer Rights under 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 Request for Immediate Resolution I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding the reporting of an account on my credit report that has been formally reported as an incident of identity theft. As a consumer, I believe that my rights, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2, are being violated, and I am seeking your prompt assistance in resolving this matter. 
Details of the affected account : ACCOUNT NAME : XXXX INPUT ACCOUNT # XXXX BALANCE {$770.00} I have previously submitted a detailed report of identity theft, along with supporting documentation. Despite this, I have observed that the information related to the fraudulent account is still being reported on my credit file.

Section 1681c-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly outlines the rights of consumers in cases of identity theft, emphasizing the obligation of credit reporting agencies to block the reporting of information resulting from identity theft. It is my understanding that credit reporting agencies are required to promptly block the reporting of inaccurate information resulting from identity theft. 
I am deeply concerned that the continued reporting of this fraudulent account is not only damaging my credit standing but also infringing upon my rights as a consumer. I am seeking immediate action to rectify this situation and bring my credit report into compliance with the provisions of the law. 
I kindly request that XXXX, Equifax and XXXX conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and take immediate steps to block the reporting of the fraudulent account on my credit report. 
I trust that you will prioritize this matter and work diligently to rectify the violation of my consumer rights. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious issue. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXXXXXX

After carefully reviewing my consumer report Experian LLC, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX are in violation of my consumer report. I have a right to privacy and they have a RESPONSIBILITY that they have completely disregarded to keep my non-public information PRIVATE. the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. In addition, 15 USC 6801 states that reporting agencys have an obligation to keep my NON-PUBLIC information private. Which is obvious XXXX XXXX has not. 

15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. XXXX XXXX never gave me the option to OPT OUT of credit reporting. With that being said Ill add that 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt-out at any time. Well Im opting out of credit reporting services IMMEDIATELY since XXXX failed to comply with the law and decided to SELL my personal information without my consent. Finally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states no consumer reporting agency can report ANY other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. Which Ive never been convicted of a crime but XXXX should be for defamation. 


Experian, XXXX, and XXXX are in violation per 15USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) stating- the term consumer report does not include : all transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report.
