Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Selip & Stylianou, LLP
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) due to the fraudulent judgment and wage execution entered against me by SELIP & STYLIANOU , LLP, on behalf of XXXX XXXX. The judgment, totaling {$8900.00} and /or any other amount, is based on an account that was opened and used without my knowledge or consent. I am a victim of identity theft, and this debt was incurred by an unauthorized party, not me. It is incredibly frustrating to find myself being held accountable for a debt I did not incur, and I am seeking immediate action to resolve this issue. I went to the court to address this matter, and they provided me with a forms to fill out. I am now taking the appropriate steps to vacate this unjust judgment. Additionally, I am filing a police report to support my claim. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), no one has the right to report or collect on a debt without my authorization, and under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, I am entitled to dispute any inaccurate or fraudulent information. The law firms actions are in clear violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692f, which prohibits the use of unfair practices in debt collection, and 15 U.S.C. 1692e, which forbids the use of false or misleading statements in debt collection efforts. The law firms continued attempt to collect on a fraudulent debt is not only unjust but also a violation of my rights. I am seeking immediate relief from this fraudulent judgment and wage execution. The actions of SELIP & STYLIANOU , LLP have caused unnecessary harm to my finances, credit, and emotional well-being. I trust the CFPB will take swift action to investigate the law firms behavior and hold them accountable for these unlawful practices. I am requesting that the judgment be vacated immediately and that any related collection efforts be stopped, as they are based on fraudulent information. I am simply trying to clear my name and put an end to this ongoing distress caused by fraudulent actions.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CLGF Holdco 1, LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding my Milestone Mastercard account issued by Concora Credit/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have not used this credit card for any purchases, and the card has been paid off and inactive. Despite this, the company has continued to charge a monthly fee of {$19.00}, which I was not clearly informed would continue even with a zero balance. 

Because I was not expecting any charges on an unused, paid-off account, these fees went unnoticed. The company then added additional charges including a {$40.00} late fee and interest, bringing the account to a past-due balance. 

I dispute the validity of these fees. These charges are for a card I did not use, did not authorize any new transactions on, and did not knowingly agree to an ongoing monthly maintenance fee. The fee structure was not clearly disclosed or adequately communicated. 

I attempted to resolve this with the company, but they refused to waive the fees or remove the delinquency from my credit report. 

I am requesting the following resolution : Immediate closure of the account with a {$0.00} balance Full reversal of all monthly fees, late fees, and interest Removal of all negative credit reporting associated with these disputed fees Written confirmation of the corrected status These fees are unfair and predatory, especially for an unused account. I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in resolving this matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Capital One is reporting inaccurate information regarding a credit card account originally opened in XX/XX/XXXX. The account is being reported as a charge-off with a {$250.00} written-off amount and a {$250.00} past-due balance. However, the dates, balance amounts, and status updates being furnished are inconsistent and do not match the information I have requested from Capital One. 

I asked Capital One to verify the accuracy of the reported balance, the charge-off date, and the alleged past-due amount, but I did not receive proper documentation validating any of the information. The account status was last updated in XX/XX/XXXX, yet the credit bureaus show updated balance information as of XX/XX/XXXX, which does not align with the provided records. Because the data is inconsistent, unverifiable, and appears to be reported inaccurately, I believe it violates the FCRAs accuracy and integrity requirements. 

I am asking for this account to be corrected or removed because the information being reported is not accurate, not properly documented, and does not reflect verifiable account details.
