Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX Bank sold my alleged debt to Midland Credit Management, a collection agency, which has harmed my credit by inaccurately or unfairly reporting it to the credit bureausEquifax, XXXX, and XXXX. I noticed a collection account from Midland Credit Management appear on my credit reports, linked to an original account with XXXX XXXX Bank. I was not properly notified of the debt sale or given a chance to resolve it before it was reported. This reporting has caused my credit score to drop by approximately XXXX points, leading to difficulty obtaining a new credit card and higher interest rates on loan applications denied. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX Bank and Midland Credit Management have continued to report it despite my attempts to dispute it with the bureaus. This has violated my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by allowing inaccurate or unverifiable information to damage my credit profile, and I seek its immediate removal.

Complaint narrative:
I am fling a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No.

2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation. These are the accounts I marked as inaccuracy ... Inquiry from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and Inquiry from XXXX  XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, Inquiry from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, Inquiry from AN XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, Inquiry from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, Inquiry from XXXX XXXX VIA DEALER on XX/XX/XXXX, Inquiry from XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and Inquiry from XXXX XXXX, XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX.
