Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2024 Portfolio Recovery XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the collection account listed on my consumer report, which was reported by your agency. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regulations, I have the right to request validation of this debt and to dispute its accuracy. Failure to Provide Validation Information : Under CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( XXXX ), it is required that collection agencies provide validation information upon request. To date, I have not received any validation information from your agency regarding the debt in question. Therefore, I am disputing the validity of this debt until proper validation is provided. Denial of Opportunity to Dispute Account : According to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( XXXX ) ( i ), consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their consumer reports. However, I have not been given a chance to dispute the account before it was reported to the consumer reporting agencies. Violation of Consumer Rights : I believe your agency has violated my consumer rights by engaging in false, misleading, and deceptive practices in attempting to collect this debt. Such practices are prohibited under various consumer protection laws. XXXX XXXX XXXX to Furnish Account Information : It is my understanding that your agency has no authority to furnish any account to consumer reporting agencies without providing all required disclosures by law, as outlined in 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S 2 ( XXXX ) ( A ). As such, the reporting of this account without proper disclosure is in clear violation of these regulations. I hereby request that you cease all collection activities related to this account until the validation information is provided and I am given the opportunity to dispute the accuracy of the debt. I am also requesting the purchase agreement between the collection agencies and the original creditor. I am also requesting that you furnish proof that collection agencies are licensed and bonded. Failure to comply with these requests may result in further action being taken to address these violations of consumer protection laws. Please provide the requested validation information and respond to this dispute within XXXX days. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 





Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: BMO BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
( CFPB 's dropdown options don't fit this situation. ) BMO is in the process of replacing credit and debit cards for former Bank of the West customers. However, they are doing so in ways that harm those customers. 

BMO recently sent me a new credit card that was identical in appearance to the last one I received, even though it was for a different account. Thats not the way Bank of the West did business. I had four cards through Bank of the West ( two personal and two business ), each of which was different in appearance so that I could easily distinguish between them. BMO refuses to provide cards with a different appearance. So I now have two that look identical. Presumably, I will end up with four identical looking cards. That puts me at risk for using the wrong cards, mixing business and personal expenses and inadvertently using credit or debit cards when I intend to use the opposite. 

BMO has also been wrongfully declining transactions, causing me a great deal of frustration. They denied a recurring annual transaction with XXXX, making me waste 40 minutes on the phone to resolve the matter. They declined a transaction at the veterinary clinic, supposedly because they believed I had requested a new card. I never requested a new card. They were in the process of issuing new ones to former Bank of the West customers, but had not yet done so. Again, I wasted time trying to straighten it all out. Then they declined a transaction at XXXX XXXX, supposedly because I entered a wrong PIN number. I should have been able to reenter the PIN number for a successful transaction. But BMO wouldnt let me. Then I wasted almost another hour trying to straighten that mess out. That was after a horribly aggravating experience just trying to get through to a live person at a phone number that wouldnt let me past the phone tree no matter what I did. I finally called a different number ( for the credit card line ) and had to be transferred to a different department for debit card issues.
