Consumer complaint received 2024-09-28 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Midland Credit Management through their dispute option on their website in early XX/XX/XXXX. Midland Credit has re-aged a debt and is falsely reporting it. My last payment made to XXXXXXXX XXXX was XXXX ( This is stated in their own Important Disclosure Information ) XXXX charged off the account on XXXX. XXXX bought the debt on XXXX. They are using this date to age the account which is illegal. They refused to remove the account from my credit. Additionally, in this reply dated XX/XX/XXXX was a default judgement in the state of Texas dated XX/XX/XXXX. I had moved back to California in XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore, I could not be served. Nor was this the correct state to even bring this lawsuit. I had no knowledge of this as well as the fact that they were past the statute of limitations of 4 years in Texas. This would be the case in California as well. The re-aging of the debt allowed them to file this fraudulent law suit. The debt originated in California and last payment was made while living in California. The initial illegal act of re-aging this debt upon acquiring it has resulted in all of the illegal and damaging effects to my credit score and ability to purchase with credit. 
Note : My last name was XXXX on my XXXX  account.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

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

Complaint narrative:
Unauthorized credit inquiry on my credit report, in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
On XX/XX/year>, I noticed an unauthorized inquiry on my credit report from XXXX that I did not authorize or consent to. I am well aware that under the FCRA, companies are required to have explicit consumer authorization or a legally permissible purpose before accessing a consumers credit report. XXXX did not have either in this case, and therefore their inquiry was not only inappropriate but illegal. 
Unauthorized Credit Inquiry : The inquiry from XXXX on XX/XX/year> was made without my permission or authorization. I have never applied for credit, loans, or any service with this company that would justify this inquiry.

Violation of FCRA ( 15 U.S. Code 1681b ) : According to the FCRA, a company must have a legitimate business reason, such as a credit application or permissible purpose, to pull a consumers credit report. XXXX has violated this requirement, causing unnecessary harm to my credit score and infringing upon my consumer rights.

Impact on Credit Score : The unauthorized inquiry has negatively affected my credit score, as multiple inquiries can result in a lower credit score. This has caused me undue financial harm and stress. 
I demand that the CFPB take immediate action to investigate this matter, require [ insert company name ] to remove the unauthorized inquiry from my credit report, and hold them accountable for their violation of consumer protection laws. Additionally, I request that CFPB ensures XXXX ceases any further unauthorized actions that could harm other consumers.

Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this serious matter. I expect swift resolution and an official response detailing how this violation will be rectified.
