Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Eastern Account Systems of Connecticut, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received correspondence from Eastern Account Services regarding an alleged debt owed towards XXXX. The letter was not dated and was received via USPS, XX/XX/year>. 

My account with XXXX was closed on XX/XX/year> in person at their XXXX store in XXXX XXXX with an immediate termination of service. I have a receipt for the closure of the account and the in-person return of equipment. The account was current at the time of closure, as confirmed by their associate, and closed prior to the beginning of the following months service. The service had exceeded the contract period, so no penalties would have applied. 

I have received no further correspondence, statements or bills from XXXX via mail, email or phone since the closure of this account, but was charged {$93.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I was not sent a statement or bill related to this charge which was proceeded as a recurring payment under the payment arrangements while the account was in service ; however, the service had ended with the closure of the account. I did not authorize this charge and I was not provided a bill or statement of what this charge was for, so I disputed it with XXXX and it was removed. 

XXXX has since placed the {$93.00} with Eastern Accounts. After asking them to provide a statement for proof of the debt. The provided statement only lists that XXXX claims I owe them {$93.00} for the chargeback itself. I have asked eastern to provide a statement for the actual goods or services rendered for which XXXX claims they are owed {$93.00}, but Eastern will not provide it and claims the statement listing only the chargeback is sufficient proof of a debt.

While I understand that a merchant is entitled to place a charged back charge for collections, claiming that I owe them simply for the chargeback itself is not an acceptable statement of a debt as it does not list the goods and services for which they initially attempted to charge me. 

XXXX failed to provide a statement of the debt in the original bill which is why it was charged back. I can not account for what these charges are for. I do not believe it is reasonable for them to attempt to substantiate finds owed based upon the chargeback considering it was charged back because they never sent a bill and made an unauthorized charge to my account - if they believe I owe them money, it is not that I owe them money for the chargeback, they need to provide a statement of the actual goods or services they are claiming I owe them for.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its illegal obligation under the Fair Credit reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
