Consumer complaint received 2025-09-19 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally contest the presence of a fraudulent account on my credit reports, linked to identity theft, and to demand immediate action in accordance with my rights as a consumer. 

Several years ago, I experienced a traumatic incident at the XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX when my wallet and luggage were lost, containing my driver 's license, Social Security card, and several credit cards. Despite extensive efforts to recover these items, I was unable to do so. Recently, I discovered multiple fraudulent accounts on my credit report that I did not open. I firmly believe these accounts resulted from the identity theft associated with the loss of my wallet and the subsequent compromise of my personal information. 

Additionally, I am a victim of the XXXX  data breach, a breach that has further exacerbated the challenges I face as a consumer. It is unfair that my data has been breached and that I am now struggling with the ramifications of this identity theft. It feels unjust to have these negative accounts hanging over my head, impeding my ability to move forward with my financial life. 

I have filed a police report regarding this matter, and I have attached a copy for your review. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am entitled to have these fraudulent accounts investigated and removed promptly.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Transunion 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I filed a formal dispute with Transunion to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Transunion responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Transunion for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only XXXX week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Transunions refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Transunion fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Transunion be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused. 

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Transunions stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX | SSN ( last XXXX ) : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau RE : Discover Bank Invalid Verification & Continued False Reporting Account XXXX : XXXX | CFPB Case References : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX -- - To Whom It May Concern : I am filing this complaint to document ongoing violations by Discover Bank regarding the reporting of an alleged account ending in XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Discovers Executive Office ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, ( XXXX ) XXXX ) issued a response that merely re-sent their XX/XX/XXXX letter and attached an unsigned Cardmember Agreement. This does not constitute valid proof of ownership or account acceptance.

Core Issues : 1. Invalid Verification : An unsigned agreement is not legally sufficient proof of ownership.

2. Compromised Identifiers : My personal information ( DOB, SSN, and address ) was exposed in multiple breaches XXXX ( XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX ), and documented dark web exposure. Reliance on identifiers alone makes verification unreliable.

3. Continued False Reporting : Discover admits it will continue reporting the account and merely mark it disputed. Furnishing disputed information without verification violates FCRA 1681i & 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

4. Improper Deflection : Discover attempts to shift responsibility to the credit bureaus, despite being directly responsible under the FCRA for furnishing accurate information. 


XXXX. Irrelevant Argument : Discover raised a XXXX reporting limit defense ( citing XX/XX/XXXX ) which does not address the fundamental issue of ownership and invalid validation. 



Requested Resolution : 1. Immediate deletion or suppression of Discover account ending in XXXX from all credit bureau reports.

2. Written confirmation of deletion provided to me and the CFPB.

3. Assurance that the account will not be re-reported in the future, given that my identifiers are permanently compromised. 



Notice : Should Discover continue to furnish inaccurate information without valid proof, I reserve the right to pursue litigation and seek statutory and punitive damages under the FCRA and other applicable laws.

Supporting Documentation : Exhibit A : Data breach notices XXXX XXXX   XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Exhibit B : Dark web exposure screenshot Exhibit C : Affidavit of disputed account Exhibit D : Discovers XX/XX/XXXX response letter Respectfully, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I want to formally dispute an inaccurate collection item listed on my credit report under National Credit Systems Inc., relating to my previous residence at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Missouri. 

I lived at this property for approximately 18 months, during which my rent was never late and always paid in full. I retained all necessary documentation, including receipts and move-out records. Despite this, I was mistakenly issued an eviction notice, a reflection of the disorganized operations at XXXX XXXX rather than my payment history. 

Management at XXXX XXXX changed hands multiple times, leading to inconsistent and incomplete recordkeeping. This includes : Improper application of my security deposit when I moved from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/year>, as agreed upon in person by management. 

A claim that a refund check was mailed to my old unit, which I never received or cashed. 

No employee has been able to provide documented proof of any outstanding balance, despite repeated contact via email, phone, and in person.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, TX XXXX XX/XX/year> To : EXPERIAN cc : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Subject : Failure to Provide Verification Documents Formal Request for Deletion Dear Experian, This is a follow-up to my prior dispute regarding inaccurate late payment reporting on the following account ( s ) : Creditor Name / Account Number : [ XXXX XXXX and Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] Although your office responded that the account was verified, no documentation or description of the investigation process was provided to me. This is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires not only that you conduct a reasonable reinvestigation, but also that you provide me with the methods of verification used. 

Supporting Authority : 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 2 ) : When a consumer disputes information, the CRA must notify the furnisher and provide relevant details so the data can be verified properly. 
15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) : Upon completion of reinvestigation, the CRA must provide the consumer with a written notice of the results, including the method of verification.

15 USC 1666B ( a ) : Payments must be applied promptly and accurately ; inaccurate late notations violate this standard.

15 USC 6802 : Institutions must safeguard the accuracy and privacy of consumer information. Reporting unverifiable late payments fails this requirement. 

Requested Action : Since your office failed to provide documentary evidence or verification procedures, and because unverifiable data may not be reported, I demand the immediate deletion of all disputed late payment notations related to this account.

Please provide me with written confirmation of deletion or the complete verification documents within the 30-day period mandated by law. Failure to comply will constitute willful noncompliance under the FCRA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
