Complaint narrative:
I have a serious complaint against PROFESSIONAL DEBT MEDIATION concerning your collection practices related on account, purportedly initiated on XX/XX/2018, carrying an outstanding balance of {$3000.00} ( Account number **** XXXX ). I have not given PROFESSIONAL DEBT MEDIATION permission to access or report information on my credit profile. This unauthorized action has caused me significant distress, leading to credit denials. PROFESSIONAL DEBT MEDIATION may have breached specific laws below and violated my rights : Violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) : PROFESSIONAL DEBT MEDIATION has not provided validation information under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) But yet still placed a collection on my consumer report without informing me prior.

Violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ) : I have not been given the opportunity to dispute this inaccurate information, this is a violation of my rights as a consumer. 
PROFESSIONAL DEBT MEDIATION is violating my consumer rights by using false, misrepresentation, misleading and deceptive means to collect this debt. 
Their collection agency has no authority to furnish any account/s to a consumer reporting agency without providing any and all disclosures required by law. They are in clear violation of Violation of 15 USC 1681-s2 ( 7 ) ( a ) and 12 CFR 1006.34 ( D ) : This section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) prohibits the unauthorized access of a consumer 's credit report.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX if I am remembering the year correctly, I was out with family when I came out to my car and realize it was broken into. At that time I use to place my purse/bag under the passenger seat of my car. I was young and unknowing that I shouldn't leave any belongings in my car when out. Just believing nothing would happen. That bag had multiple cards, debt/credit as well as my original social security card in it when it was stolen. Since then, I've seen multiple accounts appear on my credit report that didn't belong to me. I was told the only way to remove these accounts were by paying them. Younger me not knowing that wasn't the correct way ended up coming out of pocket for a Kohls Department Store credit card settlement under false pretenses that it would be deleted/removed from my credit report. Someone helped and explain to me what was happening and the steps it takes to get my credit report repaired. All other accounts were removed and deleted but, this one account. This is now many attempts to remove this account. It was removed but keeps adding itself back causing sufficient damage to my credit report. 

Under 15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.
