According to 15 USC 1681, Section 602 ( A ), I have the right to privacy.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against TRANSWORD, regarding their failure to provide adequate verification of an alleged debt. On XX/XX/year> Although they said it was sent XX/XX/year> via my email which I didn't receive and asked them to communicate via postal mail. I received a ledger from this debt collector as their response to my request for debt verification. However, this document alone does not meet the verification standards required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) for a valid debt collection claim.

As per FDCPA guidelines, I requested detailed verification of the alleged debt, including the following items : 1. A copy of the original agreement between [ Debt Collectors Name ] and their client, which grants them authority to collect on this debt.

2. Proof of acquisition or a purchase agreement for this debt, establishing that [ Debt Collectors Name ] has the legal right to collect on it.

3. A document bearing my signature that demonstrates I am indeed responsible for this debt.

4. Verification of [ Debt Collectors Name ] s authorization to collect in my state, including their license number, if state law requires it.

5. Contact information for their registered agent, if applicable.

Instead of providing the requested information, Transworld has only sent a ledger, which does not constitute proper verification of the debt. This failure to provide complete documentation undermines my rights under FDCPA Section 809 and raises concerns about the legitimacy of their collection efforts.

Given the circumstances, I respectfully request the CFPBs assistance in ensuring that Transworld complies with federal and state regulations by providing the full and accurate verification required by law. Additionally, until proper verification is provided, I request that no collection actions, credit reporting, or any other measures be taken by Transworld regarding this debt.

Thank you for your assistance in addressing this matter. I look forward to the CFPBs help in ensuring compliance and protecting consumers rights.

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed an account that was not reporting accurately. I had two late payments on this account that in fact was paid on time, as agreed. The consumer reporting agencies need to report all information with complete accuracy. This account has not been late on payments. I've attached two screenshots on the following dates ( XX/XX/year> & XX/XX/year> ) of my report to this complaint for documentation. I'm now requesting you investigate and provide verifiable proof with records showing that I had late payments. If this information can not be verified, I demand these payments be updated to " Paid on Time '' immediately. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding of this matter.

State: MD

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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. ''
