Complaint narrative:
Complaint Regarding Non-Compliance with Negotiable Instrument for Debt Cancellation I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX and [ LVNV Funding XXXX and XXXX XXXX  as well as XXXX  Name ] for their failure to honor a negotiable instrument, specifically a Form 1099-C, which legally cancels the consumer debt in question. I believe that their actions violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and other relevant consumer protection laws. 

I would like to bring to your attention that the negotiable instrument used in this case, Form 1099-C, is a legally binding document that should result in the cancellation of the consumer debt. The failure of the above corporations to honor this instrument raises concerns about their compliance with consumer protection laws.

I am seeking the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's intervention to ensure that The corporation named above must comply with the relevant laws and promptly cancel the consumer debt using the negotiable instrument provided.

[ Attach copies of relevant documents, including Form 1099-C, correspondence with the credit bureau and collections agency , and any other supporting evidence. ] I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will investigate the issue thoroughly. I look forward to a resolution that upholds consumer rights and ensures fair treatment by the law. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this complaint.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX, one of the major credit reporting agencies, for allowing an unauthorized and unverified debt collection entry on my credit report by Portfolio Recovery. 

I recently discovered that Portfolio Recovery has reported a collection account on my credit report managed by XXXX. This action has been taken without my prior knowledge, consent, or any form of communication from Portfolio Recovery 's end. I have never been contacted by Portfolio Recovery regarding any debt, nor have I ever engaged in any form of transaction or agreement that would warrant such a collection notice. 

Furthermore, I firmly believe that this collection entry is erroneous as I do not owe any debt to Portfolio Recovery. The lack of initial communication and verification from Portfolio Recovery 's side before reporting to XXXX is concerning and, I believe, a violation of my consumer rights. 

This unverified and unauthorized entry on my credit report has caused me undue stress and may potentially harm my creditworthiness and financial reputation. Therefore, I request the following actions : A thorough investigation into this matter by XXXX and the immediate removal of the collection entry from my credit report if it is found to be unsubstantiated. 
Assurance that such incidents will not recur, and my consumer rights will be duly respected and protected. 
A written confirmation from XXXX and Portfolio Recovery regarding the resolution of this complaint. 
I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take this complaint seriously and ensure a prompt and fair resolution. I am prepared to provide any additional information or documentation as required. If this is a violation I want to sue! 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I wish to formally lodge a complaint against the Lane Bryant credit card company, also known as Commodity. Last year, I utilized their automated payment system to settle my bill. Despite having sufficient funds in my checking account, the payment was not accepted. Consequently, this situation led to a 30-day late payment notation on my credit report, significantly impacting my credit score. I am now seeking to address this issue by filing a grievance with the company. My objective is to request the removal of the negative entry or, alternatively, pursue legal action with the assistance of an attorney. 

In a recent occurrence in XXXX, I faced a similar situation when I made a payment through the automated system. Despite providing accurate information and ensuring an ample balance in my account, the payment was returned. I am inclined to believe that there are flaws in their system that require rectification. The automated payment system appears to have numerous errors, resulting in customers experiencing adverse effects on their credit standing. 

Recognizing the paramount importance of maintaining a positive credit history, I am committed to taking the necessary steps to rectify this situation. My primary aim in filing this grievance is to have the negative information expunged from my credit report. Additionally, I urge the company to conduct a thorough review and update their automated payment system to prevent similar issues from affecting other customers in the future.

Complaint narrative:
Currently, as a federally protected consumer Im seeking proof of the alleged debt, under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v Gravens ( Mo ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. Thus, absent such proof, you must terminate this collection action and correct any erroneous reports of this debt as mine.

The FCRA regulates how the credit bureaus handle your report under section 611 for accuracy { 15 U.S.C. section 1681-2. Any attempt to collect this debt without validation violates the FCDPA.

Complaint narrative:
I tried to access my account and there was no access. Then I went home and there was still no access. So I called and was told that the Fraud department put everything on hold. However, the person I talked to said she could not do anything about it, only the Fraud department can. So I asked to be transferred to the Fraud department and she said they are not available until Monday. And it's Sunday right now. The issue I have is that it's perfectly ok to protect account by blocking access when fraud is detected but in our cashless world it's not ok to then not have a way to resolve the problem except during banker 's hours. I don't carry cash and use my atm card for everything. They should have an " after hours '' way of accessing the funds.
