Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (NC)

LVNV is a debt collector who has purchased my charged off account from XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX Bank. Charge off accounts are considered income and cant be reflected on a credit file. Also I didnt have any control over them purchasing a past debt and i didnt consent or have a written or verbal agreement to pay them after they purchased the debt. They are not acting on the behalf of the original creditor, nor are they affiliated with the original creditor. I have several complaints that have not been handled and this company has thousands of complaints in your database. I have also sent a letter to this collector and the Attorney General and they have yet to comply.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (TX)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a written request to XXXX XXXX XXXX informing them of two accounts reporting incorrect information on my credit report. I attached to the letter, a copy of my report and detailed the information that was incorrect on both accounts. Specifically, both Portfolio Recovery Associates ( XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) are employing the commonly used tactic of " re-aging '' collection accounts to circumvent the FCRA and allow the account to be reported for more than seven ( 7 ) years. I notified XXXX of this illegal tactic and instead of actually conducting an investigation into the accounts, XXXX used an algorithm-based investigation and generated an automatic decision showing the accounts as " Verified and Updated. '' However, the collection agency did not provide the information requested nor did they update any incorrect information. The collection agency simply re-submitted identical information ( still incorrect ), provided no supporting documents, and XXXX validated the information. This is completely unacceptable. For consumers to trust and rely upon the Credit Bureaus, the Bureau has a duty to objectively investigate consumer disputes. XXXX conducted NO investigation and simply verified inaccurate information.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I was in a wreck and my lease was paid off in full by XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I was never late on a payment and my monthly payment status shows this with each credit bureau. Initially, the remark on the account said 'natural disaster ' and then it was updated to 'early termination/ insurance loss ' On XX/XX/2024. This remark has caused my XXXX to drop roughly XXXX points. This language is erroneously interpreted as derogatory with XXXX. Because of this language, XXXX is showing that I have this account with a XXXX and XXXX days late payment and XXXX % accounts paid as agreed instead of 100 %, as it should be. However, when going through the monthly payment history, there has never been a late payment. For a resolution, I would like the remark 'early termination/insurance loss ' removed from this account or I would like the account totally removed from my credit history from each major credit bureau, due to its false and negative impact its having on my XXXX credit scores. Thank you.

Company: Kingston Financial, LLC (VA)

In XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX I had a XXXX XXXX XXXX Account ( Not sure if it was credit or checking honestly ) that was charged up by an ex. That debt was paid off in XX/XX/XXXX. Today, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I got a call about that debt of XXXX something dollars from XXXX XXXX XXXX who claimed to be representing Pyramid Acquisitions. This is probably the 40th call I 've received from somebody claiming to own that debt even though I paid it 12 years ago. The harassment over a paid off debt has gotten to the point that I can expect someone else claiming to own it to come up every 6 months or so. I 'm constantly having to dispute it on my credit reports, which is a pain in the rear. I ca n't keep doing this, I ca n't keep having to re-provide the same information over and over again. I do not know where " Pyramid Acquisitions '' got this phony debt.. .nor do I know how XXXX XXXX Solutions of XXXX , South Carolina got it, but someone needs to put an end to these kind of practices. Trying to collect on a debt that has been paid and reporting it to credit bureaus way past the statute of limitations should be illegal. I 'm sure it probably is, but it is n't stopping these companies from acting on it.

I am writing to formally request a thorough reinvestigation into the inaccurate accounts on my consumer credit report. I have identified several erroneous instances and non-compliant information that require your immediate attention. 

Federal regulations mandate the complete, accurate, and compliant reporting of all information, particularly within the XXXX XXXX data fields. Any deviation from this standard is a violation of federal regulations and a breach of consumer trust. 

Additionally, you are in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, as I was not given an opt-out notice as required by 12 CFR 1016.4, which mandates initial privacy notices to consumers. 

I insist on strict compliance with XXXX XXXX reporting requirements. Therefore, I request irrefutable physical proof of the validity, accuracy, and compliance of the reported information. Specifically, I request : The name and contact information of the individual at the original creditor with whom you communicated to verify these items. 
The method of contact used ( e.g., phone, email, written correspondence ). 
Whether you utilized a XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) or an automated dispute verification system. 
A detailed description of the reinvestigation procedure, including the steps taken to verify the disputed items. 
If you can not substantiate the claims made in my report with the requested information, I expect the inaccurate accounts to be removed immediately. Failure to comply with my request will result in my taking legal action, including filing a lawsuit in small claims court for {$1000.00} per violation, pursuant to FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ). 

Please address this matter with the urgency it deserves and provide a written response within the XXXX period as required by the FCRA. I expect a complete and thorough investigation into this matter.
