Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Eastern Revenue, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a formal follow-up to my previous Cease and Desist and Debt Validation Demand Letter regarding the above-referenced account. Despite my lawful demand made pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692g of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), your agency has failed to provide adequate legal validation of the alleged debt.

Instead, you responded with a generic summary of charges or statement balance, which does not satisfy the federal requirements for debt validation. Your failure to provide the following constitutes noncompliance : 1. A copy of the original signed contract or agreement bearing my signature ; 2. A full chain of title including all assignments and transfers of the alleged debt ; 3. A bill of sale or purchase agreement proving legal ownership of the debt ; 4. Proof of licensing to collect debt in my state ; 5. Surety bond information ( if required by law in your jurisdiction ).

A billing summary is NOT proof of debt ownership or legal authority to collect. Continued reporting of this unverifiable debt to credit bureaus is a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and constitutes the furnishing of inaccurate and incomplete information.

Additionally, continued collection efforts without proper validation violate the FDCPA, specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1692e - False or misleading representations 15 U.S.C. 1692f - Unfair practices 15 U.S.C. 1692g - Failure to validate debt If this account is not permanently deleted from all consumer reporting agencies and all collection efforts do not cease within 15 calendar days, I will proceed with legal
action against your agency under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1692k, including but not limited to statutory damages, punitive damages, legal fees, and costs. This is your final opportunity to resolve this matter before I file formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my State Attorney General, and pursue civil litigation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
I stopped by an XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  store on XX/XX/year>, to purchase several items. At checkout, the cashier offered me an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX credit card. I accepted the offer and provided my identification and personal information, including my email address, to apply for the credit card.

After the purchase, I waited to receive mail or email communication containing my account number and instructions to register the account and make a payment. Weeks and then months passed, and I did not receive any mail, billing statement, or email notification regarding the account or payment due. I later received the mailed billing statement and registration information, but it arrived very late, after the account had already been reported as delinquent.

Because I had not received any information in a timely manner, I decided to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Credit Card Customer Service on Sunday, XX/XX/year>. During the call, I explained my situation and was asked to verify my email address and current mailing address, which I provided. I would like to note that I had already provided this same information at the time of application in the store. If incorrect information had been submitted, the account should not have been opened or reported to my credit file.

During the call, I clearly stated that I had never received any billing statements or payment instructions. The customer service agent informed me that I could make a payment without having an account number or card number. After the call, I was notified that my information had been updated, and I received an email confirmation. I then made a payment immediately.

However, on Monday, XX/XX/year>, I received a notification from my credit monitoring service stating that an XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX credit card account had been reported as more than 60 days past due. This was the first time I became aware of any late payment status.

I have a strong credit history and have never missed a payment. I have purchased a home and multiple vehicles and have always made payments on time. The late payment reported on this account was not due to my negligence, but rather due to the fact that I did not receive timely billing statements or account information necessary to make a payment earlier.

I am respectfully requesting that the late payment notation be removed from my credit report, as this situation was beyond my control and resulted from a lack of timely notification and access to my account information.

The absence of any verifiable documentation to confirm the accuracy of this information, along with the reporting of data that has not been properly substantiated, constitutes a direct violation of the requirements set forth under 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This failure to comply with statutory obligations is not only concerning but also highly disappointing, given the importance of maintaining accuracy and following federal guidelines.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am a documented victim of identity theft and have submitted disputes and supporting documentation to Experian Information Solutions , Inc . Despite this notice, Experian failed to comply with its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
After deletions and changes were made to my consumer file in XX/XX/year>, my report later changed materially again, resulting in significant credit score harm, without adequate method-of-verification disclosures, reinsertion certification, or meaningful explanation. Disputed and inaccurate information continues to be reported. 
XXXX own monitoring platform has generated repeated alerts indicating exposure of my personal identifying information through breach and dark web sources. These alerts corroborate my identity-theft reports and disputes. Despite this, Experian failed to properly block identity-theft-related information as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and failed to conduct reasonable reinvestigations under 1681i. 
In addition, Experian has reported an address on my consumer file that is not my residence and is associated with banking or financial operations. No consumer resides at this address. Despite disputes and identity-theft documentation, Experian has failed to correct or remove this inaccurate address information, further demonstrating failures to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). 
I note that the CFPB has brought a civil enforcement action against Experian Information Solutions , Inc. alleging systemic failures in dispute handling, reinvestigation practices, and accuracy controls. The conduct reported here reflects the same categories of compliance failures identified by the Bureau, indicating recurring process deficiencies rather than an isolated error.
