Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against National Credit Systems , Inc. for their abusive, deceptive, and unfair collection practices in the collection of extensions of credit. In a conspiracy with the consumer reporting agencies to cause a restraint of trade and commerce, this debt collector has engaged in racketeering activity. I have never given this company any consent to be in possession of my nonpublic personal information. I disaffirm any alleged agreement or contract between I, the consumer, and the original creditor, whether implied or explicit. This account is a billing error. Please provide me with documentary evidence of the obligors indebtedness. 
This company is in violation of the false claims act and is jeopardizing my consumer credit reputation with other financial institutions by fraudulently furnishing this alleged debt to coerce payment. Any payments made or future payments are a result of threat, duress, and coercion, due to undue influence. 
I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until National Credit Systems , Inc., can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and National Credit Systems , Inc., continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and National Credit Systems , Inc. shall be liable for violations of TILA, FCRA, XXXX, XXXX, the XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX FTC XXXX and XXXX Act. 
Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
As a victim of identity theft, I submitted a dispute to your bureau, expecting a resolution within the stipulated 30-day timeframe outlined by the FCRA. However, your bureau has extended the investigation period to 60 days without providing any valid reason for such delay. This not only exceeds the legally mandated timeframe but also creates unnecessary stress and uncertainty for me as a consumer. Furthermore, I am deeply troubled by the apparent verification of the disputed items without any valid supporting documentation or information provided to me during the dispute process. This raises doubts about the legitimacy of the investigation conducted by your bureau and suggests a lack of transparency in your verification procedures. 
XXXX XXXX -PLEASE DELETE!!! XXXX have already removed this account from their records. 
I demand an immediate and comprehensive explanation of the verification process undertaken by your bureau, as well as the specific information that was used to verify the disputed items. The presence of fraudulent accounts on my credit report has severe consequences for my financial well-being, and I expect your bureau to act with the utmost diligence and transparency in addressing this matter.
