Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> i requested validation for the this account -- - **Subject : ** Follow-Up Regarding Disputed Debt : US DEPT OF THE TREASURY Dear Equifax , Thank you for responding to my formal dispute submitted through the CFPB Complaint Portal XXXX While you have stated that the item " Trade : US DEPT OF THE TREASURY '' was verified as belonging to me, your response did not address my specific request for detailed validation of this debt as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

To clarify, I am requesting : 1. **Evidence Used for Verification : ** Please provide all documentation and evidence relied upon during the investigation, including communication with the furnisher of the information.

2. **Validation Details : ** Specific information regarding the debt, including : - The exact amount owed.

- The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed.

- The date the debt was incurred. 
- Documentation demonstrating that I am legally responsible for this debt. 
- Proof of assignment or transfer, if applicable. 
- A copy of the original contract or agreement, if available. 

Under the FCRA, you are required to ensure the accuracy and completeness of all information reported in my credit file. Simply stating that the debt was " verified '' is insufficient without providing the requested details to substantiate the claim. 

Additionally, if you can not provide this information, I demand that this item be removed from my credit file immediately. I also request that this debt be marked as " disputed '' until resolution is reached, as per federal law. 

If this matter is not resolved promptly and satisfactorily, I will consider filing a complaint with the CFPB, the FTC, and other relevant regulatory authorities. I reserve the right to pursue further action to protect my rights under the law. 

Please confirm receipt of this correspondence and provide a timeline for your response. I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX ---

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I am being harassed by a debt collection agency for a debt that I do not owe or that is not valid. The collection agency has failed to provide proper validation of the debt despite my request, as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Additionally, they have continued to contact me repeatedly via phone and email after I requested they cease communication. I believe the debt is either inaccurate or was not mine to begin with, and I have asked the agency to provide evidence supporting their claim, but they have not responded or provided the requested documentation. This situation is causing undue stress and negatively affecting my credit report without justification. ''

Company: Open Dealer Exchange, LLC
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Against XXXX XXXX  XXXX  for Lack of Service and Unethical Practices I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX  regarding their failure to deliver the credit repair services I paid for, unethical practices, and lack of communication. 

In early 2024, XX/XX/XXXX to be precise I signed up for XXXX XXXX XXXX credit repair service, which was to be paid in six installments of {$300.00}, totaling {$1800.00}. I have already paid {$1500.00} over five installments. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen financial circumstances, I missed the last payment of {$300.00}. Instead of working with me to resolve this issue, XXXX XXXX XXXX  took the following actions : 1. Lack of Service Delivery : Despite paying {$1500.00}, the services I was promised about a year ago have not been rendered. No meaningful progress has been communicated, nor have any results been delivered. 

2. Blocked Access to Customer Portal : XXXX XXXX  XXXX  removed my access to their online customer portal, preventing me from reviewing any updates or progress on my account. 

3. Unresponsiveness : The company has failed to answer my phone calls or any attempts Ive made to contact them, including writing the business owner personally on his instagram account for clarification or assistance which he promised but did not. 

4. Termination of Services : Without notice or explanation, when my cousin contacted the business owner on his XXXX  account, he confirmed that they terminated my service entirely, citing the missed {$300.00} payment as the reason, even though I had already paid 83 % of the total cost. 

I believe these actions are unethical and unacceptable. Not only have they failed to honor their contractual obligations, they have wasted my time and have also demonstrated a lack of professionalism and accountability. 


Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
