Formal Complaint. Resurgent Capital Services Reporting Inaccurate Collection Account. 

To the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing this complaint against Resurgent Capital Services regarding a collection account being reported inaccurately on my credit report. 

Account Details : Company : Resurgent Capital Services Mailing Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : Ends in XXXX Amount : {$2400.00} Reported to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Nature of Complaint : I do not recognize this debt and was never properly notified of its existence. 
I have never received validation of this account, nor any documentation proving its legitimacy. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681s-2 ( b ), once a dispute is filed, the furnisher is required to conduct a reasonable investigation which has not been done.

Under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), any information that can not be verified must be removed from the credit report.

If Resurgent is acting as a third party debt collector, they are also subject to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Specifically : FDCPA 1692e prohibits false or misleading information about a debt. 
Reporting an unverifiable or incorrect debt to the credit bureaus without validation violates this section. 

My Request to the CFPB : Please delete this collection account off of my report. 
I respectfully request the CFPB to : Investigate Resurgent Capital Services Hold them accountable for failing to provide proper verification Instruct them to remove the account from all credit bureaus if they can not verify it This account is negatively impacting my credit profile without proper legal validation, and I request immediate resolution.

Complaint narrative:
My PayPal account has been limited for over one year. According to PayPal 's official policy, funds in a limited account should be made available for withdrawal after 180 days. However, I still do not have access to my funds and no withdrawal option is available.

I have contacted PayPal through their Message Center and only received automated replies, with no human resolution. This is causing financial distress and violates their own policies as well as possibly the Electronic Funds Transfer Act.

I request immediate access to my funds which PayPal has held beyond the legal and contractual period.

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as final notice of my dispute regarding the inaccurate late payment reporting on my credit file and your agencys ongoing failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.

Despite previous disputes, you have continued reporting this derogatory information without providing any documentation to support its validity. A generic 'verified ' response does not satisfy the legal requirement to perform a reasonable reinvestigation under FCRA 1681i. You are also in violation of FCRA 1681e ( b ) which requires that you ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information you report. Your failure to remove unverifiable data and your refusal to produce original documentation demonstrates willful noncompliance.

You now have 30 days from the date of this letter to provide th
e following : - Full and complete documentation from the original creditor validating the alleged late payment ; - A detailed explanation of the reinvestigation process and verification methods ; - Immediate deletion of the disputed item if it can not be 100 % verified with original, substantive evidence.

In support of my position, I refer you to the most recent enforcement actions by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against major credit reporting agencies : In light of the 2023 CFPB enforcement action ( CFPB & FTC v. TransUnion ), in which your agency was fined {$23.00} million for systemic reporting failures, I hereby request that my dispute be handled with due diligence and in full compliance with federal law. 
These actions prove a pattern of systemic negligence in the industry. Your behavior mirrors the violations highlighted in these cases and only strengthens my intent to pursue legal remedies.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because Experian has refused to remove a charged-off, closed credit card account where I am listed only as an authorized user ( AU ). I am not legally responsible for this debt, never applied for or agreed to be added to the account, and have no control over it. 

I submitted a formal written dispute by mail on XX/XX/2025, requesting removal based on these facts and citing the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires a reasonable investigation. Experian responded within 9 days, including a federal holiday, stating the information was verified as accurate which raises concerns that no meaningful investigation was done. 

This account is : Closed and charged off, Contains late payments, Is causing serious damage to my credit score, And does not belong to me as I am merely an AU.

I request that this account be immediately removed from my Experian credit report in compliance with FCRA guidelines. If it is not removed, I request documentation showing I am contractually responsible for the debt ( which I am not ). 

Experians failure to act on clear evidence of inaccuracy and their rushed verification process appear to violate my rights under the FCRA. Please investigate this matter and ensure the erroneous AU account is deleted.
