Consumer complaint received 2024-10-16 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: Recovery Partners, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX XXXX, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX, AZ XXXX. I believe their actions constitute severe violations of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and I urge the Federal Trade Commission to investigate their unethical practices. 

Since I first became aware of their attempts to collect a debt, XXXX XXXX has subjected me and my family to relentless harassment. Despite my explicit requests for them to cease communication, they have continued to bombard me with phone calls and letters. This persistent intrusion has created an unbearable atmosphere of anxiety and distress not just for me, but for my entire family. 

The emotional and psychological damage inflicted by XXXX XXXX can not be overstated. Their constant threats and unwarranted calls have left me feeling like I am living in a state of constant fear and unease. As a veteran who has dedicated my life to serving this country, it is heartbreaking to find myself in such a vulnerable position, being tormented by an unethical debt collection agency. The stress and XXXX  I experience daily have manifested in sleepless nights, panic attacks, and an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. It is disheartening to think that after serving my country, I am now subjected to such harassment. 

More alarmingly, XXXX XXXX has taken to threatening my son with both criminal and civil penalties, which is not only inappropriate but also deeply distressing. Such tactics are not only unethical but also a blatant violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from harassment and intimidation from debt collectors. The emotional toll this has taken on my son can not be overstated, as he is left feeling frightened and distressed by these threats. 

Additionally, they have involved my ex-wife in their harassment tactics by calling her and making threats, which constitutes a violation of the third-party communication restrictions outlined in the FDCPA. This unwarranted intrusion into my family 's private life has not only exacerbated my mental and emotional suffering but has also disrupted the peace and stability of my household. 

I feel trapped in a cycle of intimidation that has affected my daily life and overall well-being. XXXX XXXX has succeeded in creating an environment where I feel unsafe and anxious, robbing me of my peace of mind and dignity. 

I implore the Federal Trade Commission to take immediate action to investigate XXXX XXXX for their unethical and illegal practices. Their blatant disregard for the rights of consumers must not go unchecked, and they should be held accountable for the emotional damage they have inflicted on my family and me. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt action and response.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

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.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, Congress passed the Debt Bondage Repair Act as part of a larger package of legislation. This new law was drafted in response to survivors who shared how their trafficking experiences negatively impacted their credit scores, such as traffickers opening or controlling bank accounts or lines of credit in their name.

This new law required the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), a U.S. government agency responsible for overseeing financial products and services for consumers, to create a process through which survivors of human trafficking can apply to have adverse credit information resulting from their trafficking experience removed from their credit reports. The CFPB has created a proposal, known as a proposed rule, for how this process could work. They are now asking for feedback through public comment, a standardized process the federal government uses to get input on new policy

Complaint narrative:
I opened a KeyBank checking account. I had no issues until a check deposit. I was even offered a credit card. I deposited a check on XX/XX/year>. I received an email and a letter that stated that they were holding my funds until XX/XX/year>. On XX/XX/year> my bank account was frozen and locked. I have tried numerous times to get a resolution from KeyBank. They sent me to their " highest '' office which is the executive office. I told them that it was imperative for me to have my funds to pay not only my mortgage but contractors who were doing work on my house and they are here now and I have no funds to give because of KeyBank. I have been told to go to the actual branch which I have gone to, on XXXX XXXX as instructed. I was told that I would be able to get my funds out of the account on XX/XX/year>. I went and they gave me {$500.00} worth of the deposited check but would not give me the full amount. I have wasted gas and work time trying to get this resolved. I asked them to give me the rest of my funds and close the account as this made no sense. The reason the check hold was is because it stated they did not think the check would be paid however it's just sitting in the account, PAID, made available to KeyBank to most likely invest but not made available to me to pay necessary bills and the contractors. I've been given no dates of resolution because no one knows. I was told I'd get an update every 2 to 3 weeks. That's absurd. I was told oh you should get a call back in 2 to 3 business days. I've been given the run around. I am TIRED. The last thing I was told was to go back to the branch and sign a sworn statement that I'm the one that deposited the check in which I did on XX/XX/year>. I tried calling the executive office back right after so that I can get the funds released to me and I have not received a call back. I called this morning XX/XX/year> at XXXX and was told again that whom I'm working with is not available and they'll give me a call within 2 business days. I asked if there was someone else I can speak with and they told me no. I'm beyond done with this bank and want my funds immediately. I have contractors to pay today actually. The rep that I am working with in the executive office is XXXX. Phone number XXXX. Case # XXXX.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being.
