Company: T.S. Holdings
State: CA

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 the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my KIKOFF - XXXX. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: Consumer Adjustment Company Incorporated
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I received a fraud alert notification from my XXXX XXXX and my XXXX accounts. I immediately went into my XXXX account and was directed to a debt that had been referred to a collection agency and posted to my credit report. My credit score is historically in the XXXX range. It is now XXXX. 

A collection company, Consumer Adjustment Co. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, MO, XXXX ), today posted a collection on my credit report through XXXX. The collection is in an amount of {$3000.00}. My Experian app shows the tradeline as opened XX/XX/year>, with no payments made, and sent to collection XXXX. The creditor is shown as XXXX. I've never transacted with XXXX but researched their website. Apparently, they'll give you a loan without pulling credit, which explains how someone could have used my identity to get a loan without a credit pull. My credit is locked with all XXXX bureaus and has been for over 3 years. I assume this means someone has other PII, and presumably my SSN. 

I not only want to dispute this but I also want to know how I can prevent it in the future. If someone can obtain credit in my name without a credit pull that makes it much easier to defraud someone and XXXX XXXX and the bureau locks would seem to be powerless against that. 

Thank you in advance for your help

Complaint narrative:
I want to be absolutely clear : I did not authorize these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these inquiries be blocked and removed from my record. I want to stress that this request is not a mistake, nor is it based on any misrepresentation of facts. It's crucial to highlight that these transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. By emphasizing this, I hope to convey the seriousness of my request and ensure it receives proper attention. Furthermore, I want to emphasize that my request is based on accurate and relevant information, and I have no intention of deceiving or manipulating the situation in any way.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts.
