Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the continued reporting of a previously challenged account that remains on my Experian credit report despite a prior dispute submission. 
The account in question is as follows : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Open Date : XX/XX/year> Reported Balance : {$270.00} Reason for Dispute : This account was previously disputed, yet it continues to appear on my credit file without any resolution, correction, or notice of re-verification. I believe this account may contain inaccurate or unverifiable information. I am requesting a new reinvestigation in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, to confirm whether this account is being accurately reported using original source documentation.

If this account can not be fully and independently verified by Experian or the creditor, it must be either corrected or removed. Continued reporting without proper verification may constitute willful noncompliance under FCRA 1681n, which provides for statutory remedies.

Complaint narrative:
To, Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC This letter is in response to a collection account you have reported to the credit bureaus, which I recently reviewed on my credit report. I am formally requesting validation of this debt of {$330.00} pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S. Code 1692g.

Specifically, I am requesting the following : 1. A complete copy of the original signed contract or agreement showing that I have a legal obligation to pay the alleged debt.

2. A full itemized accounting of the alleged debt, including the original balance, any interest or fees, and any payments made.

3. The complete assignment case log that documents the chain of custody or legal transfer of the account from the original creditor to your agency.

4. Proof of your legal authority to collect in my state, including relevant licensing documentation.

5. The name and address of the original creditor, the account number, and the date of the alleged default or charge-off. 

In reference to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( Case No. XXXX ), I am aware that courts have found debt collectors to be in violation of the FDCPA when they failed to provide sufficient documentation of the debts assignment. Therefore, I am requesting the assignment case log to determine if your agency has the legal right to collect this debt and report it to the credit bureaus. 

Until you provide the requested documentation, this debt remains in dispute and you are not permitted to continue collection efforts or report it as verified to any credit reporting agency, per 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA. 

Please consider this a formal dispute of the alleged debt. If you are unable to validate this debt, I request that you immediately remove it from all credit reporting agencies and cease all collection activities.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

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.

Company: T.S. Holdings
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
A few years ago I rented an apartment through the company XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) that I am and my roommates have since vacated. The complex used up all of our security deposit to pay for cleaning and we still owed money that the deposit did not cover, in the amount of {$150.00}. Because I was not the " primary '' tenant I did not get any communication about the amount due, and we were sent to collections. 

I attempted to pay through the collection agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ), but they were hostile to me, saying " No one is going to help you. '' I instead paid through an XXXX representative on XX/XX/year>. I have a receipt for this transaction for the original amount of {$150.00} showing this debt has been paid in full. I was told it would be up to 30 days for the collection account to be resolved. Unfortunately, XXXX XXXX still considers this amount unpaid and there are interest charges that have upped the amount to {$160.00}. I don't have a copy of the lease anymore and I am unsure if the original contract allows collection agencies to charge interest on unpaid cleaning fees. 

The money I have have already paid to the original creditor should have considered the matter resolved, and the company representative has told me as such. I contacted XXXX again on XX/XX/year>, and they confirmed that I no longer have outstanding debts on that collections account. The representative I spoke with previously told me he reached out to XXXX XXXX to ask them to list the debt as resolved on their end, but as of today, XX/XX/year>, they have failed to do so. XXXX XXXX does not consider the account to be paid, and still has me listed in collections. They do not have representatives that can answer the phone, as I have called them twice today and was sent to a voicemail box.
