Complaint narrative:
I had a fee with XXXX XXXX in XXXX in the amount of {$2000.00}. XXXX XXXX in the financial department dismissed the fee because of family circumstances. Currently, my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has been frozen. The debt collection agency is Forster & Garbus LLP XXXX. They filed a judgement in XXXX to collect this debt even though it was waved. They have been sued for illegal collection attempts. They attempted to deliver a subpoena but I never received it because they delivered it to an old address. I called them a couple of days ago to get clarification. From what I understand, this attempt at collection is outside the statute of limitations, and this fee was already dismissed.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX AND XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported in to be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. XXXX XXXX XXXX AND XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against I.C. System for reporting an unverified and incorrect debt to the credit bureaus without following the legally required process.

I discovered this alleged debt only after it was reported on my credit report. I never received any written notice or communication from I.C. System before they reported the debt. This is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g ), which requires debt collectors to send written notice of the debt within five days of first contact. That never happened. 

I C SYSTEMS COLLECTIONS account number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Amount {$900.00} After discovering the entry on my credit report, I immediately contacted I.C. System to dispute the debt and request validation. However, they have still not provided any verification, nor have they supplied a copy of any original contract showing I owe the debt or that they have a legal right to collect it.

In addition to these failures, I am stating clearly and unequivocally : This debt is not mine.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), any information reported to credit bureaus must be accurate, complete, and verifiable. Reporting this debt without proper validation or my prior knowledge is a violation of federal law and is damaging my credit and financial health.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal complaint against Equifax for what appears to be intentional delay and refusal to process my credit report disputes in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Equifax has now sent me multiple requests for identification, claiming they can not find a credit file nor process my dispute without receiving proper documentation. I have already complied with their request twice, including providing a copy of my government-issued ID and Social Security card , the most recent of which was mailed to them on XX/XX/year> and as early as XX/XX/year>. 

Despite clearly receiving this information, Equifax continues to send duplicate template letters asking for the same documents I have already submitted. This repetitive pattern is not only inefficient and burdensome-it strongly suggests intentional stalling and avoidance of their legal obligations under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ), which mandates timely reinvestigation of disputed information
