Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Collection Account Under the FCRA To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute a collection account that is inaccurately reported on my XXXX credit report. The collection agency associated with this account is not licensed or permitted to collect debts from California residents. As such, this account violates both state and federal consumer protection laws and should not appear on my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are required to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports. Reporting a collection account from an agency not authorized to operate in my state is a failure to comply with this obligation. 

Details of the Disputed Account Account Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Amount Alleged Owed : {$1800.00} California law requires debt collectors to be licensed by the XXXX  Department of Financial Protection and Innovation ( DFPI ) to collect debts from California residents. A search of the DFPIs records confirms that this collection agency is not authorized to collect debts in California. Therefore, the reporting of this account is not only inaccurate but also unlawful. 

Actions Requested Conduct an Investigation : Investigate the legitimacy of this collection agency and its authority to operate in XXXX. 

Remove the Inaccurate Information : Delete this collection account from my credit report if the agency can not demonstrate that it is legally licensed to collect debts in my state. 
Provide Written Confirmation : Send me a written response confirming the removal of the account and provide an updated copy of my credit report reflecting the correction. 

Enclosed are the following documents for your reference : A copy of my credit report highlighting the disputed collection account. 

Evidence showing the collection agency is not licensed to collect debts in California.

Please complete your investigation and respond within the 30 days required under 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ). Failure to address this matter may result in further action to protect my rights, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the XXXX Attorney Generals office. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to has verified these. 

Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, Equifax, XXXX XXXX the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditorXXXX in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Complaint narrative:
RE : Late Payment Improperly Reported- I XXXX XXXX have a RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) as a federally protected consumer and I know my rights presented under the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly outlined within 15 USC 1681. 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 and 15 USC 1681o, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX on my credit report that need be immediately updated to paid as agreed. My Consumer rights have been violated by your agency. your agency has violated my consumer rights and violated federal law. This is now multiple attempts to notify you of this erroneous error on the part of your agency. This erroneous late payment is affecting my ability to obtain a loan to save my business from crumbling and also blocking me from the housing that I so desperately need for myself and my family. Please change this to paid as agreed immediately so that I may proceed with my life, or I may be forced to seek legal damages against your agency as I already have sought legal counsel in this more than important matter. Thank you.

Rash Curtis should provide the original contract, document signed by me to prove the debt.

my concern is they may get my information from identity theft or dark web. If I replied to their mail then they will steal my identity. My credit score was also lower recently, not sure if caused by the wrong debt collection.
