Consumer complaint received 2020-04-07
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Palm Beach Credit Adjustors, Inc (FL)

For months this company has been reporting inaccurate, unverifiable erroneous things on my credit report and ruining my credit score and I am sick of it. This company has ruined my credit score so bad I got denied a loan for my house!! Now I can not provide for my family because of these derogatory marks. These medical bills and other derogatory collection accounts listed on my credit report, are incorrect and NOT mine. Simply verifying that someone used my name, social security number and/or address is insufficient to confirm that I am the person in question and owe this debt. 
The court has ruled that in Hinkle v. Midland Credit Management , Inc.,  that during a dispute and subsequent investigation with the original creditor, collector or a credit bureau, that the original creditor or collector, must provide account-level documentation that would hold up when presented to a jury. That means an original contract or similar proof. To this end, I am demanding an itemized bill to include but not limited to : The diagnosis and procedure performed that I am being billed for, Dates of said procedure, Cost of any medication you may have provided, Cost of any medical devices you may have provided, Office Visits, Consultations, Hospital Visits, Misc. 
As I am not the person who owes this bill, I am aware that providing the information requested may lead to third party disclosure : a HIPAA violation. That would be your problem and not mines, as a consumer. And per the FCRA and FCPA, I am not required to complete a police report since the burden to prove the debt is on you. 
In addition, a provision of the FACTA regulations is the Notice of Negative Information provision, covered in section 623 ( A ) ( 7 ). 
I have never received notification that this had been or was going to be listed with a credit reporting agency. FACTA ( Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ) requires creditors, including doctors and hospitals, to give the consumer a warning notice, so the matter can be addressed before a negative item such as this is reported in error. 
I am also requesting a copy of your in-house procedures that enable you to avoid the problems that lead to improper identification of consumers and the subsequent misreporting to the credit bureaus. 
In lieu of supplying the information Im demanding, you can simply stop all collection activity, including but not limited to removing this item from all credit bureaus to which it has been reported. If this is not done within 30 days of receipt of this letter, I will proceed to exercise all my legal rights, including litigation, to protect my good name. 
I look forward to your immediate co-operation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (WI)

I am formally notifying your company that I did not provide authorization or instructions for the inclusion of these specific transactions in my consumer report. Consequently, I am requesting that these accounts be blocked and deleted. It is important to clarify that this request is not made in error, nor is it based on any material misrepresentation for blocking these transactions. 
I insist on the removal of all utilization data from the mentioned accounts. 

Therefore, I request and demand that you remove these accounts from my file within 30 days, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), or conduct an investigation into these accounts. 

Additionally, I am demanding the removal of all non-account holding inquiries that are over 30 days old.

The following XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account was charged off as of XX/XX/2020. Since then the account has repeatedly been updated as charged off every month. This is an update in the payment history which to my understanding, charged off accounts should NOT include an active payment history. Need I remind you, this also falsely manipulates the statute of limitations.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (IN)

Freedom Mortgage did not disclose their Partial Payment Policy in compliance with the Truth In Lending Act. As can be seen on page 4 of the attached mortgage, the Partial Payment Policy is highlighted. They included their Partial Payment Policy, but it was under the wrong heading. The Truth In Lending Act requires the Partial Payment Policy to be included under its own heading of " Partial Payment '' rather than included in in the general " Payment of Principal, Interest, Escrow Items, Prepayment Charges and Late Charges. '' This is a violation of the Truth In Lending Act. Had the necessary disclosures been made in accordance with the regulations, there would be no issue with the way this is reported. A mortgage servicing company 's Partial Payment Policy is important enough that it should be called out under its own heading, ensuring that consumers are aware of how partial payments will be applied and how it will affect the reporting of data to their credit reports.

Company: Dynamic Recovery Solutions, LLC (FL)

I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from Dynamic Recovery Solutions in an attempt to collect a debt in the amount of {$5700.00}. The letter clearly stated " Unless you notify this office within 30 days after receiving this notice that you dispute the validity of the debt or any portion thereof, the office will assume this debt is valid ''. This clearly means that prior to that 30 days, the office should not assume that the debt is valid yet on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a credit monitoring alert that I had a new collection account before I even received the letter from Dynamic Recovery Solutions. This was reported by the company unlawfully and to make matters worse ; the item is showing as a collection item under the name XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a company I have NEVER had communication with nor has an attempt been made to contact me ) and falsely reporting that the account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX. The letter further states that " If you notify this office in writing within 30 days from receiving this notice, that the debt or any portion thereof is disputed, this office will obtain verification of the debt or obtain a copy of a judgment and mail a copy of such judgement or verification ''. Please be advised I have requested VALIDATION { not verification } ( Notarized and Emailed on XX/XX/XXXX -- Still Within The 30 Days of XX/XX/XXXX ) of an item sold to Dynamic Recovery Solutions by the original creditor/collection agency. I have received a response that clearly violates my rights. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the above mentioned accounts.
