Consumer complaint received 2024-03-01 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly — Contacted you after you asked them to stop
Company: Kansas Counselors, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
This collection agency, Kansas Counselors, continued to contact me about this account after I asked them to cease and desist all contact. 

I told them this violates my consumer rights under 15 USC 1692K. I have invoiced this collection agency 5 times for {$1000.00} each time since my request them to cease and desist. 

The collection agency indicates that this debt will renew beyond the original debt year of XXXX through XXXX. This violates my consumer rights in the state of Maryland which has a statue of limitations on debt collection of 3 years. 

I am requesting validation of this debt in writing.

I further ask for proof that Kansas Counselors are licensed and bonded to collect debt. 

Moreover, I want the original purchase order agreement from the original creditor. 

The original creditor has no authority to furnish any account information to a credit reporting agency without providing any and all disclosures required by law, and by doing so the creditor and collection agency Kansas Counselors has violated 12 CFR 1006.34D 15USC 1681S27A. 

This creditor has failed to send the requested validation of this debt in writing and this vilolates 12CFR 1006.34 B5 Further, this collection agency did not offer me a chance to dispute this debt and this violates 12 CFR 1006.C4I but placed this on my credit report anyway.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear Experian, I am writing to address discrepancies found in my recent credit report, which I received on XX/XX/XXXX. Upon review, I have identified violations of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically referencing the following sections : 1. 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602, regarding the right to privacy.

2. 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604a Section 2, which prohibits furnishing account information without written instructions.

3. 15 U.S.C. 1666b, pertaining to the treatment of credit card payments under an open-end consumer credit plan. 

The creditor in question is XXXX XXXX XXXX, with the following account numbers and reported late payments : 1. Account Number XXXX : Late payments reported for XXXX and XXXX. 
XXXX. Account Number XXXX : Late payment reported in XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX. Account Number XXXX : Late payment reported in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I want to emphasize that I never provided written instructions to either Experian or the aforementioned creditors to furnish information on my credit report, as mandated by 15 U.S.C. 1681B. 

These inaccuracies have caused me significant stress and XXXX due to unfair practices. The accounts listed above were never late and should be accurately reflected as " Pays '' or " Paid as Agreed. '' Per the FCRA, I demand that these items be promptly investigated and removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide concrete evidence and documentation proving any alleged late payments. I expect this investigation to be completed within the 30-day timeframe prescribed by 15 U.S.C. section 1681i.

Please provide me with an updated copy of my credit report reflecting the requested changes once the investigation is concluded. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
