Consumer complaint received 2025-09-30 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Told you not to respond to a lawsuit they filed against you
Company: Velocity Portfolio Group
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I submit this complaint regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX and its attorneys, Velocity Investments and XXXX XXXX  contracting a process server, XXXX XXXX, for engaging in fraudulent business practices by relying on a knowingly false affidavit of service in litigation. Their conduct constitutes consumer fraud because they used deception to pursue a judgment and refused to resolve the matter despite repeated fair settlement offers. They presented what was obviously a fraudulent affidavit in order to file and pursue a Motion for Default Judgement. I provided to the attornies proof that the affidavit was false. The affidavit described me as having gray hair and being XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in height. I have been bald since XXXX  and my height is XXXX XXXX XXXX The attorneys were sent a email XX/XX/XXXX with a picture ( attached ) confirming that the affidavit did not describe me and was a fraud. They pursued an attempt to gain a default judgement after being made aware of the fraudulent affidavit. Velocity has a history of lawsuits and even class action from illegal debt collection practices. There seems to be a systemic practice of illegal debt collection activities. Why are they allowed to continue? 

Key Points : - Fraudulent affidavit used to support a motion for default judgment. 
- Attorneys ignored notice of the fraud. 
- Multiple settlement attempts were made and rejected. 
- Conduct undermines consumer trust in legal services and public confidence in the justice system. 

Requested Relief : Investigate and sanction the law firm and attorneys for unfair and deceptive practices.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the hard inquiry XXXX dated XXXX that appears on my Equifax credit file. I did not authorize this company to access my credit report, nor did I provide written consent. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a credit report when the consumer has given proper authorization. Reporting this inquiry without my consent is also a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires maximum possible accuracy, and 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which gives me the right to block information resulting from identity theft or unauthorized use. This inquiry is unauthorized and harmful to my credit profile. I am requesting its immediate deletion from my credit report and written confirmation once this has been completed.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of two accounts listed on my credit report, which I obtained through your credit reporting services. Upon reviewing my report, I have found discrepancies that I believe violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), applicable state laws, and consumer protection regulations. I respectfully request your immediate attention to resolve these issues. 

The first account in question is with XXXX XXXX BANK ( Account No. XXXX ), which was opened on XX/XX/XXXX. This account is reported as a closed credit card with multiple XXXX late payments listed in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. These dates are in the future, and I believe this is a clear error. There should not be late payment entries for these future months, and I dispute the accuracy of this information. 

The second account is with XXXX BANK XXXX ( Account No. XXXX ), opened on XX/XX/XXXX. This account is reported as a closed revolving account with a XXXX late payment listed for XX/XX/XXXX. Since this date has already passed, the late payment entry is inaccurate. I dispute this entry and believe it should be corrected to reflect the true payment history for this account. 

These discrepancies violate several important laws and regulations governing credit reporting. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 1681i, I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. The entries in question violate the requirement for credit reporting agencies to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. Additionally, under Section 1681s-2 ( a ), the data furnishersXXXX XXXXXXXX BANK and XXXX BANK XXXXare obligated to report accurate information to the credit bureaus. Furthermore, under Pennsylvania 's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law ( UTPCPL ), creditors and reporting agencies are prohibited from engaging in unfair or deceptive practices, including providing false or misleading credit information. These erroneous entries violate state protections designed to safeguard consumers from such practices.
