On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a complaint to " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and impersonator " XXXX XXXX Services '' CFPB complaint number XXXX. 

Statement of XX/XX/XXXX : " The first initial letter that I sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX was on XX/XX/XXXX ( certified mail receipt proof 1 ), which required correspondence from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Although, I did not receive anything in return. I sent another letter by regular mail to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, asking for an update regarding my initial letter for vin # XXXX, but nothing in return. Although, I noticed that XXXX XXXX XXXX violated my privacy and gave my information to an unknown party known as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. As this transition occurred, I have never got any legal paperwork from XXXX XXXX XXXX showing the information I had initially requested on XX/XX/XXXX. Including " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' does not show up on my credit report ( screenshot attached- Unlawful reporting from all parties involved in this matter )! I sent a letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX by regular mail. About three- weeks later I get a letter in the mail dated XX/XX/XXXX, from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX indicating a Settlement offer for acct # XXXX balance of {$12000.00} with an offer to settle " the account '' for {$5100.00} ( Letter- proof 3 ). In the box area shows that the communication is from a debt collector with a California license number pending and no other paperwork to show XXXX regulations, validation, or business agreement. Again, trying to protect my identity and my rights I sent a letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and Experian ( certified mail receipt- proof 4 ) which was on XX/XX/XXXX. It is now XX/XX/XXXX, and no legitimate paperwork from XXXX XXXX XXXX or Experian ( who has been reporting invalid information on my credit report and wrong personal information- yet has not fixed it ). Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I got a response from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX enclosing documentation regarding " acct # XXXX. '' This correspondence shows that communication is from a third party as shown, a debt collector and not from XXXX XXXX XXXX directly. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX AND " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' failed to provide the information ( AGAIN ) required from vin # XXXX and legitimate information as indicated in the letter ( s ).

Addition and amendment operative July 1, 2001, by Stats. 1999, Ch. 991, Sec. 75, and Stats. 2000, Ch. 1003, Sec. 56. ) Overall, my letter ( s ) it has shown that they are OBLIGATED to provide me with all proper copies from XXXX and steps 1 to 3 : 1. All legal notices 2. Proof of the commercially reasonable manner of the notification 3. Verified resale of the subject vehicle vin # # XXXX However- no valid proof was ever given to me just incoherent information. It was noted that all parties had 15 days from receipt of their certified mail notice. Yet, the response from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX paperwork received on XX/XX/XXXX, is null and invalid. The reporting from XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is an invalid claim and will be considered a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act. If this matter is not solved properly throughout CFPB I will seek further damages against all parties under federal and state laws involved in this matter for not taking appropriate actions. '' As I submitted this CFPB complaint, I had expected accurate and legitimate information to be submitted. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I got a response from " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' that did not meet the required information as stated UCC Article XXXX ( stated above ) nor has XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX respond to the CFPB complaint. 

Most importantly, XXXX XXXX XXXX '' response indicated that " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' is servicing the loan for " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' whereas I am requesting a contract where " I '' signed that I allowed " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' to have my personal information. Per the contract, that I have acknowledged shows that I only did business with " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' alone. As I did not allow a third party nor was given certified mail ( proper ) notice ( wet signature requirement ) of a release of information to a third party. For that reason, this process is a violation of my privacy under CCPA and California law, Civil Code Section 1798.99.80, which defines a data broker as a business that knowingly collects and sells to third parties the personal information of a consumer with whom the business does not have a direct relationship. I will be submitting a complaint to the Office of the Attorney General. If I am not given proper information as stated above in the initial CFPB. 

Additionally, " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' added other documents to the CFPB complaint of XX/XX/XXXX such as " Payment History '' which is showing opening bal : XXXX and a log of amount mode ( payments ) and balance amt that have equaled down to zero. Please note, I am required to have : A check/ deposit copy ( from the private buyer to " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX for the amount of {$19000.00} ), a bill of sale ( from XXXX ), paperwork copy ( from XXXX for the amount of {$26000.00} ), and lastly copy of check/deposit and where the warranty refund got directed to ( from XXXX for the amount of {$1300.00} ). None of this information being reported was ever given to me, which is not following UCC 9-506. - EFFECT OF ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, 9-611. - NOTIFICATION BEFORE DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL, 9-612. - TIMELINESS OF NOTIFICATION BEFORE DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL, and 9-613. - CONTENTS AND FORM OF NOTIFICATION BEFORE DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX my credit report on Experian is reporting account name XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX as closed with an amount of {$12000.00}, and active reporting per each month. However, the information stated above including the missing information shows that this misreporting is unlawful, null, and is a violation of FCRA whereas should be removed from my credit report. 

If no such proof is provided from 1 to 3 ( stated above ) within 15 days from receipt of this certified mail notice, the alleged claim of a deficiency will be considered null and void, and any continued collection activities, or continued reporting of this invalid claim on my credit reports will be considered a violation of the FDCPA and FCRA. 

In addition, if you singularly or severally fail to fulfill with the above requests, I reserve the rights to seek damages against all parties, under all available State and Federal statutes and including but not limited to UCC 9-625 remedies. All documentation will be filed through FCRA protocol to provide proof of the above stated 1 to 3 obligation.
