Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, Commenity Bank/Express charged finance charges on a paid in full account. The account was paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX and the finance charges were charged on XXXX XXXX XXXX I reached out to Express and was refunded the charges. This is the second time this has happened to me that I'm aware of ( acutally caught ). Back in XXXX I was reviewing my credit report and saw I was 30 days late on this Express account. I had paid the account in full and didn't understand why. The fees were refunded, but the late payment is still reflected on my credit report in XXXX. I'm afraid that this may happen continuously and this is just the only two times I have caught this practice in action.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Kinum, Inc., Indianapolis, IN Branch
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding Kinum XXXX, a debt collection agency, and their practices concerning an alleged debt that they have reported on my credit report. 

Recently, I discovered that Kinum XXXX has reported a collection account on my credit report, which is troubling for several reasons. First and foremost, Kinum XXXX is not licensed to collect debts in the state of New Jersey, where I reside. This raises serious questions about the legality of their actions and the validity of the debt they are attempting to collect. 

Furthermore, I believe that Kinum  XXXX has failed to adhere to the required procedures outlined in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Specifically, they have neglected to provide me with proper notification of the debt and an opportunity to dispute it, as mandated by law. As a consumer, I am entitled to certain protections under the FDCPA, including the right to receive written notice of the debt within
five days of their initial communication and the right to dispute the debt within 30 days. However, I have received no such notification from Kinum XXXX, which is a clear violation of my rights as a consumer. 

I am deeply concerned about the impact that this inaccurate and potentially unlawful reporting may have on my credit score and financial well-being. I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Kinum XXXX for their failure to comply with the FDCPA and their unauthorized collection activities in New Jersey.

These items in my credit file are from unauthorized use of my social security number and card. I did not authorize these inquiries to be taken out in my name nor do they relate to anything I did. I'm unaware of any of this. All is being investigated by the FTC.
