Company: AFNI INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This company is reporting NEGATIVE and INVALID information on my credit report and is severely affecting my credit score. The account information that this company is providing can not be proven because they do not have the original signed document saying that I owe them a debt which is A direct violation of my CIVIL RIGHTS according to the FCRA section 609. This company must remove their account from my credit reports immediately and permanently. A DELETION OF THIS ACCOUNT FROM MY CREDIT REPORT IS A FAIR RESOLUTION. Please be advised I have requested validation { not verification } of an item reported to you by the above original creditor/collection agency. I have received a response that does not indicate or prove : 1. I had this service.

2. What services I am being charged for.

3. What the cost of each service I am being charged for.

A response with a bill is NOT evidence of proof that the debt is mine. Anyone can open an account under my name for which a bill is produced, but that doesn't mean it was actually me or that the debt is actually mine. I need real evidence. This evidence consists of a contract from the original creditor or some agreement bearing MY written signature agreeing to pay the debt. In the absence of this evidence I ask you to please remove this account from my credit report. 

I will proceed with legal action as prescribed by law against the above-named original creditor/collection agency. Should this item not be deleted within the required time allowed by law I will seek every legal remedy available to me and file suit against the credit bureau responsible for reporting this violation. 

I urge you to take this extremely seriously as I have documented my case without error. I encourage a response from you expeditiously.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
We previously had Auto insurance with USAA and left them due to their discriminatory practices with taking advantage of XXXX XXXX Americans and U. S. Veterans. We are now being retaliated against regarding their falsified claims for Home Insurance claims they have been reporting to XXXX XXXX and impacting us negatively when attempting to shop around for new Home Owners Insurance. USAA never paid a claim out for the Home Insurance Claims which we did not file as a claim. We only called them during a major Torando or Wind occurence in GA to inquire and just only view our home. However, we did not file 4 Claims and one is also a duplicate on the same day! Also, when I spoke to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed that these were not Valid Claims because there were No Payouts on them. Therefore, the following Home Claims should not be reported on our XXXX XXXX Report to further Oppress and Suppress XXXX XXXX-Americans from obtaining lower and competitive Home Owners Insurance : 1. XXXX - Home Claim USSA Reported on XXXX XXXX, XXXX 2. XXXX - Home Claim USSA Reported on XXXX XXXX, XXXX 3. XXXX - Home Claim USSA Reported on XX/XX/XXXX 4. XXXX - DUPLICATE Home Claim USSA Reported on XX/XX/XXXX This is a direct form of Discriminatory Practices which USAA has exemplified against us by utilizing XXXX XXXX to report negative and False claims to retailiate and oppress us from obtaining Home Owners Insurance! They need to be reported to SEC and FTC for their illegal practices as well!

On XX/XX/19 & XX/XX/19, we requested payoff amounts of the Credit Card for XXXX year old XXXX XXXX. We spoke to a live representative. As XXXX 's POA, I engaged XXXX on the call.

Company: Sequium Asset Solutions, LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2020, I submitted an online dispute with XXXX  because I received some communication that showed that I had an account in collections on my credit report. I called the collections company listed on my credit report ( Sequium Asset Solutions ) and the representative could not find any record of an account in my name in their system. I contacted the " alleged '' original creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) as well and they confirmed that there was no delinquent account in my name in their system. At that point I filed an online dispute. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX  sent me notification that my dispute was results were ready. Unfortunately the results stated that Sequium Asset Solutions verified that the information on my report was accurate. This can not be the case. Today, again, I contacted XXXX XXXX to again verify that I did not have a delinquent acccount in the amount of {$540.00}. This was verified. I then called Sequium Asset Solutions again. I spoke with 3 representatives. The first representative clearly could not find any account information for me, they hung up on me. The second representative could not find any account information for me either and put me on hold several times to get a supervisor. 
She then asked for a phone number for a supervisor to call me back. Hours passed and I never got a call from a supervisor. I called again and yet again, the third representative could not find any information for me either. She too kept putting me on hold with promises of getting a supervisor on the phone. Again I gave her my phone number. Again, no call from a supervisor. 

This account that has been attached to my XXXX  credit report clearly does not belong to me and Sequium Asset Solutions refuses to explain what information was sent to put this deliquent account on my report. XXXX  is telling me that the only way to get this removed is for Sequium notify them to remove it. However, based on my interactions with this company and attempts to resolve this, I suspect that it's practices may be fraudulent. I simply want this issue resolved by having this inaccurate information removed from my account and Sequium Asset Solutions is refusing to fully look into this situation, offer any information, or evaluate their own practices.
