Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: Specialized Collection Systems, Inc. (KY)

The debt was accrued in XXXX. Bankruptcy discharge happened in XX/XX/XXXX. This debt was listed as a discharged debt and was even removed from my credit report. Then on XX/XX/XXXX, this debt collector placed itself as an open collection account, even commented it was a bankruptcy account. This falls under illegal debt collection under bankruptcy protection. This was done in spite to hurt me as a consumer, 5 years after the debt was removed. Section 524 title 11 shows this as a bankruptcy discharge violation and illegal attempts to collect a debt. They had zero reason to place a collection on my credit report and was only done so maliciously.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX  data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: Commonwealth Financial Systems, Inc. (NV)

Hello, There are several items on my credit report that are fake and are listed multiple times, by a collection agency called NORTHEAST CREDIT & COLLECT. XX/XX/2010, my husband and I were hit by a XXXX. Our medical bills were paid in the settlement, yet this company continues to illegally place these false items on my credit report and list each fake charge multiple times, in order to destroy my credit. This is in violation of FCRA laws. 

They have never contacted me prior to submitting this false information to Equifax and have been unable to produce any evidence as to the validity of these multiple charges. 

XX/XX/2010, my husband and I were hit by a drunk driver, yet all of our medical bills were paid in the settlement, by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Our representing attorney was XXXX XXXX. 

These charges that our now showing up on my credit report however are completely fake, with made up numbers. Each month I dispute them and each month they fall off ( because they are not real charges ), but the collection agency retaliates by relisting each charge multiple times, in violation of FCRA laws.

SPS Loan Number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX XXXX CA XXXX This short sale was started XXXX/XXXX/2016 with SPS. SPS has been repeatedly obstructive to the short sale process since the beginning. There have been other issues to which I should have filed a CFPB complaint in XXXX, but did not. However, their obstruction of this short sale has not ceased and I am compelled to file this complaint. 

SPS 's 'new issue ' with this short sale is claiming that they must have an authorization that matches the listing agreement, the addendum, and XXXX TD approval. Requiring an addendum that matches the listing agreement is not only NOT a valid requirement for a short sale, but this has ALREADY been sent to them. It was sent to them on XXXX. We have since confirmed FOUR TIMES with the negotiator that the authorization IS IN FACT in their system. 

SEVEN times we have confirmed with the negotiators at SPS that they have received the addendum. Then we follow-up three days later, and EACH OF THE SEVEN TIMES we are told that the underwriters are STILL missing the addendum. 

SPS claims they will move the XXXX XXXX approval requirement to a prior-to-close condition. I have no faith they will do this without further obstruction. 

SPS will continue to behave in an obstructive and fraudulent manner in this short sale process until someone makes them stop. 
To the CPFB I request that you PLEASE do something about this.

XX/XX/year> I have reviewed my consumer report and i have noticed that equifax has reported inaccurate information and reportings for millions of consumers on their reports, I am also a consumer that has been affected. This is a MAJOR violation and theres many marks and inaccurate reportings on my consumer file and reports. 

As a federally protected consumer and I am promised accuracy in my consumer report. I am making another attempt to have my consumer file promptly corrected of all the negative errors. Errors of late payments, collections, inaccurate closed accounts, that I never wanted closed and I never gave them permissible purpose to report these accounts as closed without proper validation and verification. 
They have reported missed payments, late payments, collection accounts and charge offs, which is a MAJOR violation. I demand that these errors be corrected on all my consumer files under 15 usc 1681. This is a HUGE violation and they have been exposed. All unverified information must be updated to report as accurate as PAID IN FULL OR AS AGREED. As they can see in their system they can not validate or verify the information so it must be promptly updated as they can not verify the information so they need to be removed as this is a violation which is causing me severe harm. CFPB as you are the ones that work for us, I am in need of these inaccurate reportings be updated and corrected as I have never been late, I have never requested any accounts to be deleted and all charge offs are proof that they have reported and are trying to damage me and my score and report to reflect these inaccurate reportings. I am a federally protected consumer and under 15 usc 1681. They owe me big money

I have been researching my consumer rights for the purpose of preparing this letter today. I have found information listed in the Fair Credit Reporting Act Title 15 U.S.C 1681 that is applicable to your responsibility as a credit reporting agency. In summation, these sections require that you conduct an investigation to determine the validity and accuracy of the items I am disputing. If you are unable to successfully prove them with verifiable proof, then you must remove them within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Please also note that verifiable proof includes all of the original documents, signatures, etc. that claim to be associated with each account aforementioned. I will not accept 3rd party verifications.

In your correspondence, please include any and all evidence including the original signed documents. I have done my research and I know that you may use an electronic verification system from a third party to verify the accounts below. However, that will not suffice in this case because I am requesting copies and any and all original documents ( including original signatures ). 
Your failure to positively verify these accounts in the first place has impacted my ability to be trusted by potential creditors and progress in my life. Under the law aforementioned, unverified accounts must be removed. If you choose to keep these items on my credit profile, then I demand a copy of any and all of the verifiable proof that you claim to have. Please also remove any inquiries from my account that are not applicable to my credit profile.

Due to my traveling and the loan broker being away from her office, I promised all other necessary documents to be sent on XXXX XXXX, 2017, instead. I emailed and faxed most of all documents to XXXX XXXX, in return email from XXXX XXXX, she asked if she could forward my bank 's statements to my realtor. With that email, I called XXXX XXXX, I do not wish to move forward, something was not right. Realtor only needs a mortgage pre-approval letter from the agent, not my bank information! The realtor who has not sent offer after 36 hours request to me, does not have a business to have personal financial sensitive information. After a phone conversation with XXXX XXXX, my husband and I decided not to move forward with loan and property. I advised XXXX Not to run my credit check, but she said she did anyway. On XXXX XXXX, 2017, I learned she ran a hard inquiry on mine and my husband credit checks, I asked her to help to remove them as a soft inquiry.

Company: Real Time Group, Inc. (CA)

In XXXX XXXX I became a victim of predatory home loan lending when I secured a home equity line of credit with XXXX XXXX Loans. XXXX XXXX XXXX purchased XXXX Home Loans & subsequently transferred my Heloc loan to a company called Realtime Resolutions. I have contacted this company to offer a settlement of 10 % of the loan balance even though the loan was made available to me by XXXX using the following predatory lending techniques ; stated income in an amount that exceeded my real income at the time by more than {$5000.00}, using only my name on the loan and not both my husband 's and my name on the loan, and using an inflated home value created by XXXX real estate appraisal company called XXXX. In XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX through XXXX approved a Principle Reduction on my primary loan based on the true fair market value of the property. A principle reduction or extinguishment of the Heloc loan should be awarded me based on the unfair & predatory lending procedures used by XXXX when to award me the loan. I recently addressed this issue with Realtime Resolutions and was told by XXXX XXXX that there were no updates from XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding any settlement awards being offered to those customers whom XXXX XXXX XXXX had transferred Heloc loans to Realtime Resolutions for collection activity. I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX customer service and was told to contact Realtime Resolutions to seek a settlement offer. I am truly getting the run around between XXXX XXXX XXXX & Realtime Resolutions to have the Heloc loan settled under the same terms as the primary loan via the facts of the lawsuit won by the XXXX against XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX & in XXXX of XXXX. Please assist me in requesting that the Heloc loan assigned to Realtime Resolutions for servicing and collections be transferred back to XXXX XXXX XXXX since XXXX XXXX XXXX is the owner of the note and should apply settlement provisions to this note as were provided to the primary home loan via the XXXX lawsuits. The burden of not settling this loan either by extinguishment or by agreeing to a 10 % settlement results in my debt to income ratio being horribly distorted, having a continual decline in credit scorings & ratings by the XXXX major credit bureaus, being offered consumer credit at very high rates up to & including high interest rates on car loans, credit cards, insurance payments and the denial of credit offerings. In addition Realtime Resolution continues to negatively report on this account to all 3 major credit bureaus.
