Consumer complaint received 2025-06-16 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing several tradelines from Jefferson Capital Systems that are currently appearing on all XXXX  of my credit reports. Recently, while organizing my credit documentation, I came across an email from XXXX ( a previous collector for XXXX XXXX ) dated prior to XXXX acquisition of the debt. It read : Call or write to us by XX/XX/year>, to dispute all or part of this debt. If you do not, we will assume that our information is correct. If you write to us by that date, we must stop collection on any amount you dispute until we send you information that shows you owe the debt. 

I never responded to that message because I didnt see it at the time and I never received any validation of the debt. This tells me that even the prior collector may not have had sufficient documentation and only intended to validate if pressed. Now, XXXX has acquired the account, but I still have never been provided any proof that this debt is valid. 

On top of that, XXXX has : Re-aged the account ( setting a new opened date after acquisition ), Reported derogatory marks ( C ) monthly across bureaus, Failed to provide proper validation after multiple disputes, Responded to my disputes with vague verified responses without any documentation. 

These actions violate : FCRA 605 ( c ) ( for illegal re-aging ), FCRA 623 ( inaccurate furnishing ), FDCPA 809 ( b ) ( no debt validation ), FCRA 611 ( failure to reinvestigate disputes properly ). 

This is not only damaging my score but also unlawful. I am formally requesting the deletion of this account if full debt validation can not be provided. I have also begun conversations with licensed consumer law attorneys in preparation for potential legal action. 

The second XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( Acct XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) shows similar behavior, including re-aging and derogatory monthly updates, yet I have never received any Debt Validation for that XXXX either. If the first account lacked proper documentation, it is highly likely the second does as well especially considering the identical handling and lack of transparency. 

Therefore, unless Jefferson Capital Systems can produce full and legitimate documentation including the original signed contract, full payment history, and proof of ownership the only fair resolution is deletion of both accounts from all XXXX  credit bureaus.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against your agencies for violating my consumer right to privacy by reporting an alleged XXXX  on my credit reports. 

Upon contacting the XXXX court directly, I was clearly informed that the court does not verify, report, or furnish information to any consumer reporting agencies. This raises a critical and lawful concern : where did you obtain this information, and what method of verification was used to determine its accuracy prior to publishing this highly sensitive public record to third parties?

Legal Violations : 1. Violation of FCRA Inaccurate Reporting Without Verification Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) ), you are required to maintain procedures that ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information you report. Reporting a XXXX  one of the most damaging public record items without directly verifying it with the source ( i.e., XXXX XXXX XXXX ) or disclosing your method of verification is a clear violation of this federal obligation.

2. Violation of Privacy Rights Opt-Out Rights Not Honored Additionally, under 17 CFR 248.124, consumers are granted the right to a reasonable opportunity to opt out of having their nonpublic personal information shared with non-affiliated third parties. At no point was I ever given proper notice or a meaningful opportunity to opt out before the inclusion of this highly personal and damaging information on my credit file.

17 CFR 248.124 - Reasonable opportunity to opt out : A consumer must be provided a reasonable opportunity to opt out before you disclose nonpublic personal information You failed to provide me with any such opportunity or notice, which constitutes a violation of my privacy rights under federal law.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to report a fraudulent account that has appeared on my credit report and I want to be absolutely clear : this account is the result of unauthorized use of my identity. I did not open this account, I did not apply for credit with this company, and I did not authorize anyone to do so on my behalf. 

This is a clear case of identity fraud. I had no involvement in this transaction, and Im not going to be held responsible for something I didnt initiate or consent to. Whether someone used my personal information without permission or this is a reporting error, the result is the same : this account is not mine and should not be on my credit file period.

I am writing in response to the recent communication I received from your agency regarding an alleged debt associated with my account. I am requesting validation of the debt in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically under Section 809 ( b ). I dispute the validity of the debt, and it is within my rights as a consumer to request that you provide me with detailed information to substantiate your claim.

Please note that under the FDCPA, you are required to cease all collection activities until you provide the requested validation of the debt. This includes but is not limited to contacting me by phone, mail, or any other means of communication.

I expect a prompt response to my request within 30 days from the date of your receipt of this letter, as stipulated by the FDCPA.
