Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
These companies reported debts to my credit profile without ever notifying me beforehand, either by phone, email, or written notice. I only became aware of these accounts after checking my credit report, which caused me great concern. Prior to this, I was never given the chance to verify, dispute, or resolve these debts directly with the companies. Once I discovered these entries, I took immediate action by contacting each company to request verification of the debts and to resolve the matter. Unfortunately, my attempts have either gone unanswered or been met with incomplete responses. This situation has caused damage to my credit score and limited my ability to qualify for important financial opportunities. I believe this reporting violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires creditors to notify consumers before reporting.

Complaint narrative:
On or about XX/XX/year>, my online XXXX  account was hacked and the hacker used an attached paypal account to pay for items they ordered. I was sent emails from XXXX  about the order so I contacted them immediately. XXXX representatives told me that the order was already processing and they could not stop the order. I received another email which demonstrated that XXXX was contacted to change the shipping address and XXXX  changed it to another location in Florida. I then made a dispute with paypal who refunded the charges made back to my paypal account after they investigated. I also contacted the police in XXXX XXXX and in Florida. When the XXXX  items shipped I contacted fedex to hold the items rather than to deliver them to the hacker 's address. I closed my XXXX  account over 2 years ago after the incident and I have not heard anything from XXXX until I received a collection notice on their behalf. I sent the collection agency a dispute letter but instead of sending me anything they started calling and mailing letters trying to collect.
