Complaint narrative:
Third warning Dear XXXX, I am writing in response to your letter regarding Case # XXXX. I am XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and i am contesting the allegations made in your letter. 

Firstly, XXXX XXXX insists that he is unaware of the debt you claim he owes. The mere mention of a " charge off '' does not validate the debt. We require further proof of this debt, including the original contract, a detailed payment history, and a full set of billing statements. While you argue that these are not required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), they are essential in confirming the legitimacy of the debt. 

Secondly, XXXX XXXX disputes that he received the validation letter you claim to have sent on XX/XX/2022. The fact that the letter was not returned as undeliverable does not necessarily mean it was received by XXXX XXXX. We request proof of delivery to confirm that the letter was indeed received by him. 

Thirdly, XXXX XXXX 's phone number is registered on the national XXXX Not XXXX XXXX. Your assertion that your company is not a telephone solicitor and does not engage in telephone solicitation does not exempt you from the FDCPA 's prohibition on contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places. If XXXX XXXX did not give you permission to contact him, any calls made to him could be considered a violation of the FDCPA. 

Furthermore, we have become aware of unauthorized use of XXXX XXXX 's personal information, which is in violation of the provisions set forth in XXXX XXXX XXXX, also known as the XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). This law protects the privacy and security of individuals ' non-public personal information. We demand that you immediately cease and desist from any further collection, disclosure, or use of XXXX XXXX 's personal information. Failure to comply with this demand will leave us with no choice but to pursue legal action. 

We request that you provide us with written confirmation within XXXX business days from the date of this letter, stating that you have ceased all unauthorized activities involving XXXX XXXX 's personal information and that you will take all necessary steps to ensure the information is securely destroyed or returned to XXXX XXXX. 

In conclusion, we demand that you provide further evidence to validate your claims. Until such evidence is provided, we maintain that XXXX XXXX is not obligated to pay the alleged debt. We anticipate your prompt compliance and cooperation.

Company: T.S. Holdings
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have noticed several errors on my credit report, including a concerning entry from 'IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL IN. ' Recently, I applied for a loan through my financial institution and was informed of a credit delinquency that would lead to rejection. Initially, I didn't pay much attention to it, but upon conducting my own investigation, I accessed my credit report from all three bureaus. To my dismay, I discovered numerous discrepancies that were not associated with me and were never authorized by me. These discrepancies, including the XXXX from 'IQ DATA INTERNATIONAL IN, ' were negatively impacting my credit report even though I had no involvement in them. 

Understanding the seriousness of the situation, I promptly researched the appropriate steps to address this case of identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
Previously submit complaint number XXXX regarding consumer violations and past dispute with credit bureau , Equifax. The bureau responded by stating that an investigation was done and the information was verified as my account, but did not address any of the violations or concerns that was listed in the complaint. The complaint was closed without being able to appeal the response. It appears the company responded, so they can say they responded without taking the time to address my concerns which is even more frustrating. I shouldn't have to beg and pled with a company to fix inaccurate information on my credit report, and should be able to trust that companies as such would not intentionally violate my rights and will hold my information confidential, but that does not seem to be the case. I've been going back and forth for over 5 years now for the SAME issues. Not one time has this company provided me any documentation to show how they " verified '' the information. Yet again, this is way over the 60 days and my credit report is STILL not correct. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. credit bureaus have an obligation to report Accurate, Complete and Timely information, but Equifax failed to do so. According to Section 611 of the FCRA, I have a right to get the method of how said accounts were verified, but Equifax failed to provide the requested information.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/ we received a text from WELLS FARGO BANK detecting fraud alert, asking if we authorized multiple charges from several businesses. The first charge of {$2100.00} to XXXX went through. We do not have any business with XXXX and never have, this was not our purchase. The next two charges that were attempted on our account were declined by Wells Fargo resulting in the fraud alert text mentioned above. The next day we see that the XXXX charge had in fact gone through. We called the Wells Fargo fraud department to file a claim assuming this charge would be reversed. To our dismay, Wells Fargo declined our fraud claim stating the " transaction was authorized '' ....? After going to our local Wells Fargo branch and speaking to our manager they suggested we submit the claim again and let them know we did not have this card in possession when the transaction occurred. Once again Wells Fargo declined our claim?

* We do not have an account with XXXX where the charge were made * We received a text from WELLS FARGO fraud alert suggesting it was fraud which we confirmed, and yet still have this charge to our account * This debit card had never been used for in-store purchases for the 4 years that we have had the account, it's only used for deposits. 

We have submitted this fraudulent claim to WELLS FARGO twice and been declined both times. WELLS FARGO insists that we made this transaction, which we did not! There is no justifiable reason why we have not received a credit to our account in the amount of {$2100.00}
