Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for failure to verify and unlawful reporting of an unauthorized collection account in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ).

I previously disputed the account with Experian regarding PORTFOLIO XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. However, they failed to provide the legally required method of verification ( XXXX. ) and did not disclose how this account was verified. This is a direct violation of the FCRA. 

Furthermore : XXXX and XXXX have already deleted this account, yet Experian continues to report it, which creates an inconsistency and a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( duty to maintain accuracy ). 
Experian is furnishing my credit information without a permissible purpose in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681b, as this account is unverifiable and unauthorized. 
Experians failure to conduct a reasonable investigation violates 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 
I have repeatedly requested Experian to provide proper verification or delete the account. They failed to comply, which is a willful violation of the FCRA.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
After thoroughly reviewing my credit report, I found multiple inaccuracies regarding late payments reported on an account where the information does not accurately reflect my payment history. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), consumer reporting agencies are legally required to maintain maximum possible accuracy, and any failure to do so is a direct violation of federal law. 

The account in question, [ XXXX XXXX ], [ Account # XXXX ], is inaccurately reporting late payments for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX and [ XXXX XXXX ], [ Account # XXXX ], is inaccurately reporting late payments for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. However, upon review, I have not been provided with any verifiable proof that these delinquencies were reported correctly or in full compliance with the FCRA. If a data furnisher is reporting negative marks to my credit file, it is their legal responsibility to ensure the information is 100 % accurate, fully validated, and not misleading in any way. 

As part of my formal dispute, I request that your agency conduct a full reinvestigation and provide proper documentation proving the validity of these reported late payments. If the information can not be fully substantiatedmeaning there is no concrete, verifiable proof meeting strict FCRA standardsthen these inaccurate late payments must be removed immediately to comply with federal consumer protection laws. 

I also have a fraudulent account that does not belong to me with XXXX XXXX and it was opened on XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: First Credit Services Inc.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
Dear sir/madam, I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter related to my consumer rights, which, i believe, your company has breached. The particular rights in question pertain to the validation and reporting of debt, as governed by the fair debt collection practices act ( FDCPA ) and the fair credit reporting act ( FCRA ). In this context, I had previously asked for a verification of a debt that is purportedly owed by me. I attach herewith the related correspondences as evidence of my request. However, your organization has continued to fail in providing me with the necessary validation, a contravention of the FDCPA. In addition, despite the ongoing dispute, you have continued reporting this contested debt to the credit bureaus, an action that infringes on the FCRA and inflicts harm to my reputation.

In order to reconcile these issues, l once again implore you to adhere to the FDCPA by providing me with the following information : 1. Evidence of your legal entitlement to collect the alleged debt. 2.

A detailed account statement delineating the claimed balance. inclusive of all charges, interest, and penalties. 3. The contract bearing my explicit signature, thereby establishing my liability towards the debt. 4. Please note that the legal concept of " estoppel by silence '' ; implies that your failure to respond, despite the obligation to do so, indicates your concurrence with my stance that this debt is invalid. I shall resort to invoking this principle in my defense, if necessary. I expect to receive the requested information within 15 business days from the receipt of this letter. If you persist in neglecting my request for debt verification, I reserve my right to initiate legal proceedings against your company for the breach of my consumer rights as stipulated in the FDCPA and the FCRA. I may also consider seeking damages, should the situation warrant such action.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
