Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: National Credit Adjusters, LLC (AL)

On XX/XX/2021, National Credit applied negative inaccurate account information to all three credit bureaus. Before submitting the negative information, NCA did not attempt to contact me regarding the alleged negative account. I contacted NCA regarding the inaccurate information submitted to the credit bureaus. I asked the representative about the alleged negative account. The only information I received from the representative was an inaccurate address from a different county and the alleged previous account ower was XXXX Mastercard. This is false information because I have not applied nor had an account with XXXX Mastercard. Also, I contacted XXXX Mastercard regarding the alleged account and the attempt by NCA to collect on an inaccurate debt. XXXX Mastercard representative validated that no account was found. On XXXX XXXX, I mailed a validation letter to NCA, response is pending. NCA reporting false information to the credit bureaus is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting. Attempting to collect on a false debt is a criminal offense. During research regarding NCA, I found numerous complaints from consumers regarding inaccurate negative information applied to he/she credit bureaus by NCA. Also, in NCA settled with the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection for unlawful collection practices. Applying a false negative account to a consumer 's credit bureaus which has cause an negative financial impact is unlawful. I am requesting this inaccurate information to be removed from all the credit bureaus and accurate account validation from NCA. I am not requesting a fake bill, which is not an acceptable form of account validation. I am requesting a contract with an signature and/or accurate information from XXXX Mastercard. I have attempted to resolve this issue with NCA and all three credit bureaus without resolution.

Company: ZWICKER & ASSOCIATES (VA)

Receive letter from Zwicker & Associates, P.C. who are supposed the law firm retained by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I submitted complaint with CFPB in form of a validation of debt letter/cease and desist, Affidavit of Truth, Invoice for federal violations accompanied with Exhibits. Copies were mailed physically to Zwicker & Associates P.C. as well. Since this prior submission of these documents. Nothing positive with respect to U.S. Codes was resolved. In fact XXXX XXXX somehow had XXXX  send me correspondence telling me the consumer, natural person and original creditor pursuant to 15 USC 1602 ( g ) that the alleged debt ( this alleged debt is a charge off which there is no definition in law to define what this is, and I never consented to this being in any of my consumer credit reports ) was verified and also that it was mine. I never validated any alleged debt so it'll infuriated me tremendously to read that a credit reporting agency basically told me an alleged debt was mine without giving any law to justify so. This is truly depressing me. I feel extremely threatened due to the stature of XXXX XXXX believing they are above law which was enacted by Congress. So I'm submitting another Affidavit of truth including Zwicker & Associates XXXX, XXXX by XXXX XXXX also known as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX  and XXXX.

There are currently 9 inaccurate late payments reported on my credit for multiple loans which have all been reported on my credit reporting/affected my credit score. These negative reports were for supposed late payments on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I was enrolled in a full-time graduate program from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX and thus my payments were deferred. I have attempted to rectify the issue with the lender multiple times ( at least 5 ) in XXXX and there was no resolution. I submitted proof of enrollment as well as what is reported on my credit report and they said the information was accurate with no explanation as to why or acknowledgement that I was in fact enrolled full-time from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX.

My name and vehicle information was added to an auto policy with XXXX XXXX. I never gave consent or advised this was being done. Now an accident claim on my vehicle shows up on this persons auto policy with XXXX. It takes a name, dob, address, DL etc to add someone to a policy and I was not notified of this being done. Not once was this information shared with the policy holder or XXXX. XXXX refuses to remove my name from a policy I never authorized. How is adding someone to a policy without person ok, but to remove them by the persons permission not ok? This is fraudulent behavior. I dont want my vehicle information or accident claim information released to anyone without my permission.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (MA)

Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

On XX/XX/2018, XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX was given an invitation to bid on electrical work to be preformed at my residence. XXXX XXXX was provided a copy of electrical plans that I have also attached. The same plans are also referenced in several places on the contract dated XX/XX/2018 with the language *per plans. This is XXXX XXXX acknowledgement of receipt of said plans and understanding that work was to be completed in accordance to plans as well as terms of our contract. 
The plans provided to XXXX XXXX state very clearly in writing that all work is to be performed in full compliance with all, city , county, state, and national codes. Texas law also requires that any electrician performing work will do so in compliance with all applicable codes. 
There is NO language on the contract that releases Texas XXXX XXXX XXXX of this requirement, and referencing the plans on the contract in writing further reinforces contractors responsibility for meeting this requirement. I am also adamantly refuting the possibility of XXXX XXXX releasing himself of this obligation verbally or otherwise as he has stated in his supporting documentation. 
XXXX XXXX did not complete any of the contracted work in a compliant manner, defrauded me out of {$4000.00} including {$420.00} of which was charged on my Citibank XXXX. I reached out to Citibank to dispute the charge and they denied my claim. 
Citibank has chosen to side with a fraudulent merchant who has violated Texas state law rather than grant me proper protection under the Fair Credit Billing Act. 
Also attached to my complaint is the result of the investigation performed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in which they made the determination that XXXX XXXX was in violation of Texas statue as it relates to work on my property. Why has Citibank taken it upon themselves to make a different determination and violate my rights in the process?

Company: AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORP (WA)

Leased XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. Paid monthly payment {$430.00} on time every month and returned the vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX prior the the lease end date. Dealer provided me with the Vehicle Return Receipt ( attached ) that he and myself signed agreeing the car was returned on time with no damage. It was at that time that I was told there was nothing else I needed to do and I left the dealership. On XX/XX/XXXX I had a missed call and voicemail from Acura Finance asking me to contact them at my earliest convenience. I called back that same day and spoke to a representative who said I needed to pay a " return fee '' for my lease. When I originally leased the car I made sure to ask the dealer if there was return fee, as I had experienced this with a past lease, and they said " we do not do that ''. Therefore I was a bit surprised by the representatives call saying I needed to pay this but agreed to as she said it was required. After paying she said everything was taken care of and nothing else was needed on my end. It has now been brought to my attention that this payment was late and is effecting my credit negatively. When I spoke to the representative she did not make mention of the payment being late and did not make mention of past attempts to get in contact with me. In looking at my Acura account I see mail correspondence was sent to my old address and never got forwarded to my current address. If there were additional calls made to me regarding this I was unaware as a voicemail was never left until XX/XX/XXXX. If I had been made aware of this when dropping off my car and signing the vehicle return receipt I would have paid it right away but I was told everything was completed and there was nothing else I needed to do.
