Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I woke up this morning XX/XX/year> to an added delinquent report on my credit that I was surprised to see because I have been putting in an effort to repair my credit this year. It was from Jefferson Capital systems. I was surprised to see it had been made delinquent because I have not received any written or electronic notifications from this company that I owe a debt. I believe to make it delinquent without any notification or possibility to handle the debt is wrong and predatory. I tried contacting the company but they wanted to charge me more money to pull my credit report. I would like to handle this issue immediately.

State: MI

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.

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: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint regarding XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). On XX/XX/year>, I paid {$590.00} for a pre-sale order of their upcoming XXXX XXXX machine, which they advertised would be released by the end of XXXX. At the time of purchase, XXXX clearly stated that customers could cancel at any point prior to delivery for a full refund. 
Since then, the company has stopped communicating entirely and has ignored my requests to cancel and receive my refund. Numerous other customers have reported the same issue on XXXX and other online forums. 
There is growing concern that the company may be insolvent and retaining customer funds without fulfilling orders. I simply want my {$590.00} deposit returned. Unfortunately, because the charge was made more than a year ago, my credit card provider ( Citi ) is unable to process a dispute.

I am requesting assistance in obtaining a refund from XXXX, as they are not honoring their commitments or responding to customers.

Complaint narrative:
After my mother passed away we received a letter to the estate saying they were acting on behalf of the XXXX XXXX XXXX and we were to pay them the amount owing on a credit card. 
After calling them, they requested my contact information ( phone number ) and were told no. 
I asked them to send proof of the debt and that they were authorized by XXXX  to collect. After checking with the bank they told me it was not in collection status. 
The following week they called my just after XXXX and started asking for my personal information. When I asked where they got my number from they eventually told be that bank had given it to them, which the bank is not allowed to do. 
I asked why they were calling after I requested proof of the debt, they said it was to check my contact information. 
This sounds like either a scam or a company using unlawful tactics to collect a debt they purchased.
