Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report 4 fraudulent accounts on my consumer FICO credit report resulting from identity theft and fraud. These include a credit card opened at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), a credit card at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), an auto loan at XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), and an auto loan at XXXX XXXX XXXXn XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ). These accounts caused multiple unauthorized hard inquiries and collections. I demand immediate removal from all consumer credit reports and that all related collection activity cease under the FCRA and FDCPA.Under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I request written confirmation that this fraudulent account has been blocked and removed as required by the FTC Identity Theft Affidavit.

Please explain why it was not removed initially, despite my submission of all required documents, including my ID, Social Security, proof of address, and FTC Identity Theft report. I also request disclosure of the investigation method used, as required by law, and evidence that the credit bureau contacted the FTC to verify the affidavit, including the names and addresses of any persons or entities involved. Recent lawsuits against Experian reveal troubling patterns of non-compliance, emphasizing the need for adherence to federal law. As required under FCRA 605B, I expect a complete investigation and all requested documentation within four business days. Should you fail to delete this account within the timeframe, I demand the name and address of anyone contacted to verify the disputed information.All accounts above, collections, late payments, and charge-offs result from identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ) as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I demand that the fraudulent items be removed from my consumer credit report and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
My bank is now demanding {$120.00} from me because I missed a single {$25.00} payment on my credit card. This amount is largely due to the excessive late fees and outrageous interest they charge. They seem to believe that these punitive fees will encourage people to pay on time, but in reality, they only make it harder to make payments and increase the likelihood of missing future payments.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding a collection account that appears on my credit report under the name of Midland credit management for the amount of {$1200.00} and last reported on XXXX XXXX. I contacted the collection agency and requested debt validation pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S. Code 1692g. Under this law, a debt collector must provide proper validation of the debt if requested within 30 days of initial contact. However, I never received adequate validation. Specifically, they failed to provide : A copy of the original contract or agreement bearing my signature Itemized breakdown of the amount owed ( principal, interest, fees, etc. ) Proof of ownership or assignment of the debt Proof that the debt is within the statute of limitations Furthermore, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S. Code 1681i, if I dispute an item on my credit report, the credit reporting agency is required to investigate and remove or correct inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information within 30 days.

The collection agency continues to report this account without having provided the requested validation. This may be considered a violation of both the FDCPA and FCRA. I am requesting the removal of this unverifiable debt from my credit reports with all credit reporting agencies.

Complaint narrative:
The XXXX and XXXX XXXX merger was not an option for me as a consumer. I had a plan in my contract to include the payment for my devices in my monthly payment plan. In addition, XXXX XXXX had a promotion to pay off all of the remaining balance from XXXX. I thought that this was automatic since everything else was, they ( XXXX XXXX ) did not inform me that I had to pay any balance and forward the receipt within 30 days. I was not able to pay {$690.00} at that time anyway. That's like having a loan at XXXX bank unexpecting XXXX having to pay it off because XXXX banks merged. It is not practical. I just want this off of my credit report and XXXX XXXX to pay this bill as was stated in its promotion. I have spoken with XXXX XXXX, and they said that this is my best recourse.
