Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am reporting collections accounts from LVNV Funding LLC that was previously disputed and removed from my XXXX credit report. It has now reappeared without any notification or new verification. This is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S. Code 1681i. 

The same account was previously removed after a successful dispute for inaccuracy. Its reappearance is not only unlawful under the FCRA, but also negatively affecting my XXXX XXXX and causing undue stress. 

I have documentation proving the account was previously deleted. I request that the CFPB investigate this re-reporting, and that LVNV Funding LLC be required to remove the account permanently.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Indicated you were committing crime by not paying debt
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to dispute an inaccurate collection account on my credit report that is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681. 

Summary of Issue : Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX Debt Paid In Full : XXXX 2025 ( proof attached ) Collection Agency : XXXX XXXX ( now out of business ) Current Reporting Status : Account still listed as unpaid or in collections Credit Reporting Agencies Affected : [ List ( e.g., XXXX XXXX, TransUnion ) ] Why This is a Violation : The debt has been paid in full to the original creditor, and documentation has been attached as proof. 

XXXX XXXX, the collection agency reporting the debt, is no longer in operation and can not be contacted to update or correct the record. 

Continued reporting of this account as unpaid is a violation of the FCRA, which requires accuracy and completeness in consumer credit reporting. 

Legal Basis for Dispute : FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Requires credit reporting agencies to reinvestigate disputed information unless it is verified as accurate. 

FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Furnishers of information ( including collection agencies ) are prohibited from reporting information they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. 

FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ) : Once notified of a dispute via the CFPB or a CRA, the furnisher must conduct a proper investigation and correct or delete any inaccurate information. 

FTC XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : Demonstrates enforcement of FCRA mandates that credit agencies maintain reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy. 

Requested Resolution : I request that the inaccurate tradeline be removed. 

The current reporting status is incomplete and misleading under FCRA 1681e ( b ), which requires fair and accurate reporting. 

As the collector is no longer in business and can not verify the status, this tradeline must be removed under FCRA obligations to ensure accuracy. 

Supporting Documents Provided : Proof of payment Copy of credit report with account highlighted Identification and utility bill for verification

Complaint narrative:
It's hard to believe that my 2016 XXXX XXXX was inspected if the old owners registration was still in the glove box when I received it? 

The car has been shaking and squeaking since I bought it and has been consistently getting worse and ruined parts that I have bought based on mechanics recommendations and still nothing has worked This should have been addressed by Drivetime before putting a customer into the vehicle. It's impossible that the vehicle passed an inspection of any kind because I had to take it to XXXX immediately after purchasing because of the shaking and squeaking and XXXX found a whole host of issues, at that time it was under warranty but the warranty company XXXX XXXX somehow determined that all of the recommendations by XXXX were not necessary so they only fixed about half the issues that XXXX recommended. 

Fast forward over 7 months and I have wasted thousands on tires and other parts that are being recommended to get changed but aren't doing anything to stop the car from shaking and squeaking everywhere I go. 

It has gotten to the point now where I ca n't drive customers with XXXX anymore because it's unsafe and just embarrassing. So not only am I losing money but im spending money trying to fix the issues and nothing is working. Fighting a losing battle.

Complaint narrative:
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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
