Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: The CBE Group, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The CBE group is a debt collector for charter communications, and is using intimidation, harassment, and bullying to force a payment on an account that is too old. Specifically, what they do is to remove and repost a collection on my credit report in an attempt to usurp the fact that the impact of a nominal collection amount decreases as time passes. By doing this my credit score gets impacted multiple times, for the same thing. As soon as the score climbs back up they, remove and repost the same thing to rest the clock. So in essence harassing a person in perpetuity.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several inquiries on my credit report, which I believe violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The FCRA mandates that credit bureaus maintain accurate and up-to-date information and allows consumers to dispute any inaccuracies. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed multiple inquiries that I did not authorize or recognize. These unauthorized inquiries negatively impact my credit score and financial well-being. According to Section 1681b of the FCRA, credit inquiries must have permissible purpose and consumer consent.

I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into these inquiries and provide evidence of permissible purpose and consumer consent for each. If you are unable to provide such evidence, I request that these inquiries be promptly removed from my credit report.

Furthermore, I remind you of your obligation under Section 1681i of the FCRA to conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days of receiving a dispute. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in legal action.

Enclosed with this letter are copies of my credit report highlighting the disputed inquiries, as well as any supporting documentation I have regarding their unauthorized nature.

Please acknowledge receipt of this dispute letter within 30 days and inform me of the steps being taken to address my concerns. I can be reached at the contact information provided above if you require any further clarification or documentation. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
