Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: American Recovery Service Incorporated (AZ)

I kept receiving emails from ARSI ( American Recovery Services Inc. ), about a debt I have never heard of. The email says I need to pick a payment option. I tried to unsubscribe from the emails, thinking it was a scam, but I kept receiving emails. On XX/XX/2023, I went to their website and disputed the debt, stating that it is not my debt. I have not gotten any response to my dispute, but I keep receiving the same emails. I called the number in the email and left a voicemail explaining the situation, but still got no response to my dispute, and the emails kept coming. I called the number again today, XX/XX/2023, and spoke to someone who would not give me information unless I verified I am the person on the account, by giving her personal information. The research I did on incorrect collections, said not to give them that information because they can use it to create false records of the debt, making it harder to disprove, so I did not give her any information that was not in the email they sent me. 
I have no information about the debt they are claiming, and they have yet to send me any information.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (AL)

Company ( CAPITAL ONE ) Account # XXXX XXXX CAPITAL ONE XXXX, VA XXXX Telephone XXXX ) XXXX I am writing to dispute the presence of charge off of {$680.00} on my credit report as reported by your agency. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is imperative that all information on my credit report is accurate, verifiable, and timely. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified inaccuracies in the reporting of the charge offs, which I demand to be rectified immediately.

The FCRA, under 611 ( a ) ( 1 ), mandates that credit reporting agencies must " follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. '' It is evident that the reported charge offs do not meet this standard of accuracy, as they are either erroneous or inadequately substantiated.

Furthermore, 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA stipulates that credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items, free of charge, and must promptly delete inaccurate or unverifiable information. Therefore, I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into the validity of these charge offs and provide evidence supporting their accuracy.

Moreover, as per 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA, I am entitled to receive a written explanation of the results of the investigation within 30 days of receipt of my dispute. Additionally, if the investigation results in the modification or removal of the disputed information, I request that you provide an updated copy of my credit report reflecting these changes.

Failure to comply with the FCRA 's provisions may result in legal action against your agency for non-compliance. Pursuant to 616 of the FCRA, individuals are entitled to seek damages for willful non-compliance, including actual damages, statutory damages, and attorney 's fees. 

In light of the foregoing, I urge you to take immediate action to rectify the inaccuracies in my credit report by removing the disputed charge offs. Please provide written confirmation once the investigation has been completed and the necessary corrections have been made. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I sent a letter on XX/XX/2022. I told credit bureaus to " investigate every piece of information '' on the accounts i have listed below. 
According to the FCRA The term " investigate consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which the information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends or associates of the consumer reported on or with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information.

They stated my accounts were verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law. Also, every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % Accurate. And according to the FCRA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % accurate. Also I attached copy from credit bureaus so you can see that nothing matches, Last balance update is different, minimum payment is different in each bureaus, date open different as well. 
THESE ACCOUNTS NEED TO BE DELETED FROM MY CREDIT REPORTS AS LONG AS THE INFORMATION IS INCORRECT.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AZ)

XX/XX/XXXX - I contacted the Equifax line that is supposedly assisting consumers who were victims of their security breach. I would like an extended fraud alert placed on my credit reports and they not only will not do so without a police report or other proof of my identity being stolen, they did not have a phone number for me to call to request it due to their inadequate security of my personal information. This is unacceptable. Why would I want a one-year identity service from them and then have to send them in writing that I want to opt-out of the clause to sue them for this breach and their release of my personal information. They MUST offer victims like myself an extended fraud alert on our credit reports and allow us to request and implement online, not in writing. This is the most outrageous display of abusing consumers who are victims of their negligence. Take action against this company and the " leaders '' who clearly abused their knowledge of this breach at the expense of innocent consumers. Allow us to protect ourselves IMMEDIATELY and at NO COST to us by placing extended fraud alerts on our credit reports online. Thank you.

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Alabama XXXX SSN : SS # : XXXX XXXX : Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX Dear Creditor, I am writing to dispute the negative items on my credit report associated with your company. I have reviewed my credit report and noticed several inaccurate and unfair items, including late payment accounts and charge off accounts. 
Firstly, regarding the late payment accounts for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( account number : XXXX ), XXXX XXXXXXXX ( account number : XXXX ), and XXXXXXXX XXXX ( account number : XXXX ), I would like to point out that these accounts were a result of temporary financial difficulties. While I admit that I fell behind on payments, I have since caught up and am now current on all accounts. I kindly request that you remove these late payment accounts from my credit report, as I believe they are unfairly affecting my credit score. 
Secondly, I noticed that XXXX XXXX XXXX ( account number : XXXX ) has charged off my account. I am devastated by this news, as I have always strived to maintain a good credit history. However, I was not made aware of this charge off until I reviewed my credit report. I kindly request that you provide me with more information about this charge off, as I believe it may be inaccurate or unfair. If the charge off is indeed valid, I would appreciate the opportunity to work out a payment plan to satisfy this debt and prevent further damage to my credit report. 
Finally, I am disputing the charge off accounts associated with XXXX XXXX ( account number : XXXX ) and XXXX ( account number : XXXX ). I have no recollection of opening these accounts, and I have not received any communication from your company regarding them. I kindly request that you provide me with more information about these accounts and take appropriate steps to remove them from my credit report if they are found to be inaccurate or fraudulent. 
As a law-abiding citizen, I understand the importance of maintaining good credit. However, the negative items on my credit report are causing me great emotional distress and anxiety. I kindly request that you investigate these matters thoroughly and respond promptly, as I am eager to resolve these issues and restore my good credit history.
