Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (AR)

Midland Funding is in violation of the FCRA ( fair credit reporting act ), due to their failure to accurately report correct dates regarding time barred debts. This includes them re-aging accounts based on the date they purchased the account and not reflecting the last date of last activity. This has caused undo harm, as it makes these accounts appear more recent than they truly are. Due to their lack of abiding by FCRA, they in turn are causing negative reporting on my credit report. These should be removed from my credit report.

She asked for the last year tax return and my husband 's last XXXX pay stubs. The next day we provided those documents. Now, we are harassed by a woman by name XXXX XXXX XXXX, who tells us what to do ( to pay XXXX amount of money which is disputed because XXXX charged us fees for internet services which we did no use and which came from third parties ). Eventually there was a class action lawsuits filed and XXXX settled. In our case XXXX demanded some of disputed amounts and we refused to pay. Eventually XXXX cut off all services except for XXXX telephone line. at that point it was discovered that XXXX switched our telephone lines making primate line a secondary and the secondary as a primary. At that point our XXXX started to show error message on control panel and we discovered for the previous two years we had a security system for which we paid but which did not have connection to the XXXX. We demanded charges to be reimbursed and complained through FCC but although XXXX committed perjury FCC did not satisfy our request. We switched to XXXX and for the last 7 years do not respond to XXXX offers to switch back to them. No money would be paid out of the disputed amount. XXXX XXXX started to harass us demanded the payment of the disputed amount, additional documents ( XX/XX/XXXX tax return and proof of home owner 's insurance ) which we provided. Now she started to ask about companies we have no idea about and again for documents that we had already submitted. It appears that she does not know what she is doing and we refused to deal with her. She said she would withdraw our application. It appears that because we are foreign born we are systematically are harassed, intimidated, insulted and humiliated by banks in the US.

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 XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's 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.

I have never applied for a loan, done business with, or even heard of Big Picture Loans. 

I received a {$200.00} credit to my bank account from Big Picture Loans on XXXX/XXXX/2016. 
{$200.00} was later debited from my bank account from Big Picture Loans with a note : " Name Mismatch '' on XXXX/XXXX/2016. 
Big Picture Loans then tried to debit an unknown amount from my account on XXXX/XXXX/2016 which resulted in a declined item and a non-sufficient funds fee from my bank of {$34.00}.

The credit score is based on outdated and incorrect data and drops drastically instead of increasing as it should based on facts.

I have lived in this area all my life and personally know many XXXX employees. In speaking with XXXX she said " do n't feel bad they sent me to collections as well and my payments were being payroll deducted by XXXX ''. No one ever stated that this bill had to be paid in full on the XXXX payment nor did they advise me that I was being sent to a collection agency. I am neither poor or under insured but I have a grave concern that this could have a devastating effect on a family that was struggling financially.
